Team doctors originally believed Womo’s poor, poor bwoken fingey was merewy spwained, despite the quarterback insisting that his pinkie felt really, really, really ouchie after being hit by wots and wots of big mean mans during the first play of overtime.

The Cowboys are denying rumors that Womo will require weconstwuctive pinkie surgewy, insisting that it is only a bad owie and that Womo will not be placed on injuwed weserve.

“Tony has been very, very bwave through all this and barely cried at all when he heard his widdle fingey was in fact bwoken,” coach Wade Phillips said Monday, explaining that Womo was “westing comfiwy” and watching cartoons at home and had thus far managed to keep his pinkie out of his mouth. “I’d say he’s week to week, but it’s up to the team medics to say when he’s completely all-better-now.”

Tim Brown, marketing manager for Active Web Group in Hauppauge, is not only a fantasy football fan, but he also runs a league to which several of his colleagues belong.

But he said he does most of his league work at home, checking scores occasionally during the workday for what amounts to less time than a coffee break.

“I care about my job,” he said.
