"Might not be career ending"?

Yikes.

Hope he is ok...



Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul suffers severe hand injury from fireworks

New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul will become the cautionary tale of not playing with fireworks.

Pierre-Paul, the Giants’ star defensive end who was given the franchise tag this offseason, reportedly suffered a severe hand injury during a fireworks accident on the fourth of July holiday.

Andy Slater, a radio host in Miami for 930-AM WINZ, broke the news. Pierre-Paul was born in Deerfield Beach in South Florida, and went to the University of South Florida. The report was confirmed by a few other outlets. TMZ later reported the injuries were to “some of his fingers and his thumb.” The injury happened while he was trying to light fireworks and he was treated at a hospital,

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network said. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported the injuries might not be career threatening, and Pierre-Paul might not miss any games as he awaited more clarity from the doctors.

Ouch! Quick fuse? I burnt the shit out of my hand one year thanks to one of those, thankfully it wasn't an explosive firework, "only" an incendiary one. Wound up spraying a whole can of Bactine on it to kill the pain.

My neighbor blew off a nipple and had a bunch of spider veins on his chest when he filled a bunch of balloons with acetylene and oxygen and then placed them in a garbage bag to light for an explosion. Apparently he got a quick lesson in static electricity when he was squeezing out the air.

I have no sympathy for idiots. I am extra paranoid when it comes to fireworks, I don't allow my sons any where near anything that explodes.

Broken bones I can deal with, but missing limbs / fingers, you don't come back from that.

[TD's & Beer]

At least he didn't light it on his head.


rub some dirt on it for $14 Million

Right index finger amputated today.

[fansince'76]

Between the idiot who killed himself by firing a mortar off his head and now JPP losing a finger, I wonder when the inevitable call to ban all fireworks is coming...

[86WARD]

It's coming...

The idiot's mom is already calling for more regulation and laws. Like a law would protect her son from being stupid.

[salamander]

You can't fix stupid....

[Count Steeler]

Did the fireworks have a confederate flag anywhere in it's marketing or packaging? That is the real issue.

[Steelman]

So James Harrison called out Adam Shefter after he posted JPP's medical record of the amputation:

Doesn't that violate HiPPAA laws? Schefter has sunken to weasel status.

Yes it does. The hospital employee will be fired. You will see a lawsuit from JPP on this against the hospital and probably against ESPN as well.

[salamander]

Yeah, Schefter/ESPN sunk to a new low with that...

[smokin3000gt]

Do we know if this info was for sure released without consent?

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought. If it was me, I'd say, this is not exactly something you can keep secret, so who gives a fuck, go tell everyone. The fact that I was missing a finger would be much more front-of-mind.

And James Harrison will be fined and suspended for at least the first 4 games of the season for his remarks.

Since JPP wouldn't even let the Giants trainer see him and already said that he was going to sue, I think that you can pretty much bet that's the case.

Unethical...doesn't apply to media...lol.

[86WARD]

BTW - Good for Harrison calling Schefter out...

ahh ok. I didn't know he said that.
