Ronnie Lott: Leaving all on the playing field

In 1985 Ronnie Lott did not want to sit out a football game, so he had the team doctor amputate his finger. That is tough! Tougher than me anyways because I played sports and would quit games just because I ate too much pizza.
But who was that team doctor going around chopping off body parts? I just assume he was a medic recruited from a battlefield in Colonial Williamsburg.
"Doc I pulled my groin."
Well then you take this bottle of whiskey, and I'll go sharpen the saw....and here's a towel to bite down on, because your gonna make some noises and we don't wanna startle the women-folk.."

'Leave it all on the playing field' is a figure of speech to some, and apparently a mission statement to others.
