You may have heard this already, but Jeff Garcia is hurt. Sort of.

Garcia has a bum finger.

To be more precise, he has a sore pinky. To be even more direct, the pinkie in question is on this throwing hand.  Woody Cummings of the Tampa Tribune got to the bottom of this Watergate-esque story.

“I actually sprained it in the one exhibition game I played,’’ Garcia said. “My hand came down on someone’s shoulder pad and I sprained it. But it’s fine really. It’s not a problem at all. I don’t even know why it would be an issue.’’

OK, loyal readers of JoeBucsFan.com. You know what’s coming. Yes, this gives Joe yet another shameless excuse to let Carmella grace our pages. Joe doesn’t suspect there will many complaints.

You are welcome.

Joe is confident Jeff's wife Carmella knows how to make his sore pinkie feel much better.
