JPP injured in fireworks accident

[RedOctober3829]

@AndySlater: Big Jason Pierre-Paul story about to break in S. Fla. He severely injured hand in fireworks accident. @Coach_Eisy first to hint at situation

 

[Ed Hillel]

I see I am late. Sounds like he may have lost some fingers. NFL!

 

[Granite Sox]

... and hasn't signed his franchise tender, either.

Dumbass.

 

[Section15Box113]

Deadspin has photos of his apparent u-Haul van full o' fireworks.
 
And reports from the Twitterverse about how his hand is, well, not intact.

That'll be harder now

 

[Ed Hillel]

Someone tweet his neighbor chick and ask her if she at least got his digits.

Well played.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

... and hasn't signed his franchise tender, either.

Well he can't possibly sign it now...

 

[Nator]

His Haitian infrastructure could not withstand the shockwave.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Officials are saying that JPP is very unlikely to finger the supplier of the fireworks.

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

So... JPP has a ring for every finger. Too soon?

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Officials are saying that JPP is very unlikely to finger the supplier of the fireworks.

Or anyone, really.

 

[bankshot1]

maybe he can be a hands on the ground defensive lineman

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

The Giants front office is pledging a hands-off approach to the official police investigation.

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

Looks like the Giants should be able to get a five finger discount on JPP's next contract.

They may still have to stump up some cash though.

 

[grimshaw]

Though the unemployed sympathize with him, he will not be shaking their hands.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Giants play a base 4-3 defense, which is coincidentally the number of fingers JPP has on his left and right hands, respectively.

 

[leetinsley38]

Well he can't possibly sign it now...

Not only did that contract slip through his fingers, so did the KFC endorsement money.

 

[dcmissle]

Shades of Irving "four finger" Fryar. And in other news, a Nobel Laureate in Maine was instantly killed yesterday discharging a firework mounted on his head.

 

[Wingack]

"On next week's episode of Ballers..."

That'll be harder now

This deserves more love

Well, at least today, Plaxico Burress can take a sigh of relief. No longer the worst self inflicted gunpowder based injury in NY Giants team history.

 

[soxhop411]

Holy shit
“@AndySlater: Jason Pierre-Paul update: As of 90 mins ago, he was still in hospital. Hand injury so severe, he could still possibly lose it.”

 

[soxhop411]

“@mortreport: It may not be game or season threatening, either. Everyone waiting for medical clarity. https://t.co/SYRaixIDef”

Wrong again mort

While you gotta hand it JPP for creativity, I think Burress still has a leg up on him.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Mort reported that 4 of his 10 fingers were still intact.

 

[snowmanny]

Could he play with two hooks?

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Defingergate?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Has his agent called Antonio Alfonseca yet about making a deal?

[Reggie's Racquet]

Goodell will commission Ted Wellls to investigate JPP for "excessive celebration".

 

[DanoooME]

He could always take up bowling.

[brandonchristensen]

he'll never be the hand of a major corporation

 

[Devizier]

 

[bankshot1]

on one hand it sucks, but on the other hand not as many hands to the face penalties

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Rex Ryan is just grateful it wasn't his toes.

 

[TrapperAB]

And that's why you don't play with fireworks when you're a highly paid athlete who hasn't signed his contract.

 

[snowmanny]

Tis but a scratch.

 

[Oil Can Dan]

This thing has been blown way out of proportion.

I guess this is good news for JPP but who knows, no one on Giants PR seems to be saying anything official. I know it's Sunday on a holiday weekend but you'd have thought it would be all hands on deck.

 

[OCST]

This thing has been blown way out of proportion.

I know, it just exploded

 

[OCST]

on one hand it sucks, but on the other hand not as many hands to the face penalties

Stumps to the face is only 5 yards

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Giants fans were also relieved to hear that the injury Eli sustained running with sparklers over the weekend would not cause him to miss training camp.

Looks like Mort wasn't wrong.
 
As asinine as early twitter reports are, we fucking eat them up don't we?
