Now for something straight from the department of ridiculous.

On Wednesday, quarterback Stephen Garcia signed with the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL, relatively good news for the former South Carolina standout whose propensity for trouble ruined what could've been a bright future in the NFL.

Here's the ridiculous part: While stepping off the team bus, Garcia flashed a peace sign and -- if you can believe this -- injured his two fingers, forcing the Alouettes to place him on the one-game injured list.

Sounds like a joke? Well, it's not, according to the Montreal Gazette, which cited the organization with providing the information to the newspaper.

How in the world does this even happen? Who the heck knows?

We'd love to hear from Garcia on this.
