Report: Jason Pierre-Paul injured in fireworks accident

For many of us, last night was a chance to blow off some steam, if not some fingers.

But Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul might have gotten a little too close to the action.

According to Andy Slater of WINZ in Miami, Pierre-Paul “severely injured” his hand in a fireworks accident last night.

A woman who said she was his neighbor tweeted out a photo of a “truck load of fireworks,” showing large boxes in a van.

Details at this point are few, but this could potentially have a huge impact on him and the Giants, as he hasn’t signed his franchise tender worth $14.8 million, and they’d have a tremendous lack of pass rush without him if he missed an extended amount of time.

Jeez...why is a million dollar player handling fireworks? Hardly a veteran move.

I wish more players knew they can retire comfortably before they're 35. At that point they can do whatever the hell they want.

Youth ... wasted on the young.

Most of these idiots dont understand the value of a dollar until their careers are over. understanding the value of a dollar at a young age makes you use your ******* brain to make ends meet. the brain of a millionaire using fireworks when he can pay a professional pyrotechnic guy and protect his livelihood. yeah, hes really smart.

Idiot.   But how about the guy in Maine who tried to launch a fireworks mortar off the top of his head after getting inebriated?  Killed instantly.

 

CALAIS, Maine —A young man who was drinking and celebrating the Fourth of July tried to launch a firework off the top of his head, fatally injuring himself, authorities said Sunday.

Devon Staples and his friends had been drinking and setting off fireworks Saturday night in the backyard of a friend’s home in the small eastern Maine city of Calais, said Stephen McCausland, a spokesman for the state Department of Public Safety. Staples, 22, of Calais, placed a fireworks mortar tube on his head and set it off, he said.

The firework exploded, killing Staples instantly, McCausland said.

His death is the first fireworks fatality in Maine since the state legalized fireworks on Jan. 1, 2012, authorities said.

Calais is on the Canadian border near New Brunswick.

State fire marshals were also investigating several other Fourth of July fireworks accidents involving injuries in Friendship, Jefferson, Lebanon and Woodstock. They said most of the accidents involved burns and eye injuries. McCausland said further details were expected to be released later Sunday.

In 2011, lawmakers voted to repeal a 1949 law banning fireworks, reasoning the industry would create jobs and generate additional revenue.

Yea, the value of money is a very esoteric topic for young kids, it's why, for as much as I think he's an absolute neanderthal and total goon, Gronk is a very money-savvy person. Kid hasn't spent a dollar of his signing bonus or paycheck and has been smart enough to live off his off-field endorsements and doesn't live lavishly at all.  I suppose it also helps when your taste for fun involves frat houses, beer bongs and bachelorette parties and not private jets and fancy cars.

He was a real Darwin Award winner.  BTW, checked his bio and his occupation is listed as professional dog walker and dog sitter.  The doggies will weep tonight.

It seems Jason Pierre-Paul had a serious accident with fireworks yesterday.  Based on the

story he may have missing flesh/fingers:

Unbelievable!!! 

 

I have no doubt he is missing some tissue -- right between his ears.  WTF was this dumbski thinking?  (Rhetorical question.)

Multiple outlets are now reporting that the flesh on Jason Pierre-Paul’s hand was burned off of his palm and fingertips, but the fingers are still intact, which contradicts early false reports.

The full extent is still unknown, as is the status for Pierre-Paul to reporting to Giants camp, which begins at the end of July. ESPN’s Adam Schefter has confirmed that the injury is not career threatening.
On Saturday night, JPP sent out two Instagram videos (posted below) that showed him standing outside of a U-Haul truck that he rented for a fireworks show at his South Florida home, that he put on himself. During the fireworks show, a neighbor tweeted out that they feared for the safety of their home.
The timing of the incident will be heavily diagramed as Pierre-Paul and his agent have been lobbying for a longterm deal. The Giants granted Pierre-Paul the one-year franchise tag tender earlier this off-season, worth $14.8 million for the 2015 season.
Pierre-Paul has yet to sign the franchise tag, which has to be resolved by July 15th, according to the NFL deadline. Over the last few months, Pierre-Paul has missed workouts and barely been around the facility, while working out and staying in shape at his home in Florida.
This off-the-field incident is already bringing up memories of the ones that happened in 2012 when wide receiver Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg in New York City.
