Jason Pierre-Paul severely injures hand in fireworks accident

[Iggloo]

why in the world would the Giants take his contract offer off the table. It's not as if he will be able to sign it without any freakin' hands!

He could hold the pen with his teeth and sign an X, though, so they had to yank that thing...

All the speculation is pointless. And a little bit childish. Lets leave pointless speculation to the professionals at ESPN and Fox.

Well let's stop talking about everything until after the fact.

Or he could sign with the ashes of his fingers.

love fireworks but they along with guns don't mix well with alcohol

We used to blow off a ton on the 4th in the country but no booze until the fireworks were over for the 2 of us that set everything up. Anything can happen but getting hurt usually involves somebody not playing by the safety rules being stupid or having booze involved.

booze does not mix well with Guns, Fireworks, Women, Police, Cars......... the list goes on

Hope Paul recovers fully

The NFL is full of roided up idiots.

It was Giant's team officials (a team doctor and a front office person) and he sent them away.

....that right there tells you this is a severe injury that is going to effect his career IMO. No reason he would be afraid to show the team what had happened if it was just a couple of burnt fingertips.

At least it wasnt his head.

But in all seriousness, cmon people how dumb are you.

Bucs' C.J. Wilson injured in fireworks accident - NFL.com

New York Giants pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul wasn't the only NFL player to suffer a fireworks-related setback on the Fourth of July.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback C.J. Wilson also suffered a hand injury in a fireworks accident, his agent, Joel Turner, told NFL Media on Wednesday.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport later reported, per sources who have spoken with the player, that the injury is serious enough that Wilson's career might be in jeopardy.

"His health is the focus now and will be for some time," Rapoport wrote on Twitter.

Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune first reported the news.

"We are aware that C.J. was involved in an accident that occurred over the July 4th holiday," the Bucs said in a statement. "It is our understanding that the injury occurred to one of his hands and our primary concern at this moment is for his long-term health. We have been in contact with C.J. and are continuing to monitor the situation."

An undrafted cover man out of N.C. State, Wilson, 25, played in two games with Tampa Bay last season after a pair of rookie appearances with the Chicago Bears in 2013. The undrafted cornerback spent most of last season on the practice squad before the Bucs promoted him to their active roster in December.

Holiday fireworks have served as a major subplot this week with Pierre-Paul still recovering in a Florida hospital after suffering a hand injury over the weekend while attempting to light fireworks.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday that the Giants pulled a $60 million long-term deal off the table following JPP's mishap. As for Wilson, a fringe player, it's fair to wonder if he'll even make the roster.

I heard it in passing on the radio. My bad.

The fireworks took my thumb Charlie!

Just reported JPP's right index finger has been amputated.

 

[jarntt]

Too bad. I wonder if we will ever see him reach his potential. For about a 10 game stretch a few years ago he was the best defensive lineman in the game. Just can't figure out what happened to that guy that was just utterly unblockable and unstoppable...

ESPN getting crushed on twitter

How did they get those records? If it was not with JPP's permission JPP might end up getting all his money he is out from ESPN and the hospital.
