Christopher Mayer/Vance Duke

I noticed Vance has some bandages on his left hand pinky finger in the scene after rescuing Boss. When he says "Cooter. Boss just a problem with his brakes. He seems to be pointin' the finger at you about it. I'd like to get you out here." Does anyone know why his finger was bandaged up?

Happy birthday Vance. (Feb 21) We love you and we miss you cousin.

Why did he die?

A lot of people dont know that I had just signed Chip on for me to represent before he passed. I never got to know him as close as I do Byron. But the little time I did have was a blessing. You will be missed Chip. God Bless.

This so saddens me to have read this. Chris will be missed by family, friends and Duke fans. http://brbtv.blogspot.com/2011/07/christopher-mayer-passes-away.html (I hope it was okay to post the link for this)
