[jobberone]

Have fun guys but for me I wouldn't joke about the drunk guy who killed himself. JMO.

Well, he shouldn't get called for holding this year...

Illegal use of the hands?

Stump to the helmet?

Giants just withdrew their $60MM offer to him. They could theoretically withdraw their franchise tag designation as well since JPP hasn't signed it yet.

Very frightening line in that article:

"There was no rushing him to the hospital. There was no Devon left when I got there," said 25-year-old Cody Staples, who called it an accident.

Nicely done, JPP

Most players that have an outstanding offer or tag, and have good agents, will have a fairly large insurance policy to help bridge the time gap.

I'm sure both he and Dez are insured.

Won't fully make up for it though

I don't think that insurance will cover something like this. They too have clauses for injuring yourself in such a way, and their lawyers and underwriters would be all over this the minute he filed the claim.

...and were waited on hand and foot

 

[Staubacher]

...or spent an arm and a leg...

 

[65fastback2plus2]

hands down the best thing the gnats have done in awhile

 

[65fastback2plus2]

supposedly they withdrew the offer because in the case of an onside kick, he cant be on the hands team anymore

 

[65fastback2plus2]

i heard he went to pick up a big box of fireworks just before the accident...but he couldnt get it by himself so he hollered over his shoulder to his buddy "hey, gimme a hand"

Here's a recent article and video related to what types of fireworks are legal and which are not in the State of Florida.

Summarized, if they leave the ground or go "Bang", they are illegal to set off in the State. Oddly enough, these same fireworks that are illegal to set off, are legal to buy in the State.

Idk, To me, that's like throwing a monkey a banana and asking him not to eat it. Seems as though the State wants the revenue from the sales but none of the responsibility. -smh

I like that one of the fireworks in the article picture is called "POPO MAGNET".

Fireworks injury could force Jason Pierre-Paul to miss start of season

Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul suffered serious hand injuries while setting off fireworks over Fourth of July weekend, 10 weeks before the season opener. And it’s looking like those injuries might take more than 10 weeks to heal.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, there’s concern that Pierre-Paul could miss the start of the regular season. At this point the team is still awaiting more medical information, but his availability for Week One against the Cowboys is in doubt.

If Pierre-Paul’s injury keeps him off the field, the Giants can put him on the non-football injury list and decline to pay him for any games he misses. Pierre-Paul is currently not under contract, and the Giants have placed the $14.8 million franchise tag on him. If he plays the 2015 season under the franchise tag but misses some games because of the fireworks injury, each game he misses will cost him more than $870,000 in lost salary.

Pierre-Paul led the Giants with 12.5 sacks last season and was expected to be their top pass rusher this year as well. He’ll be hard to replace, but it’s looking likely that the Giants will have to replace him, at least at the start of the season.
