Jason Pierre-Paul has burns, but his fingers remain intact

According to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, some of the flesh on the Giants defensive ends’ hand was burned off his palm and fingers, but his fingers are intact. (Sorry if you were eating breakfast while reading this.)

Yoga and free weights will help with a full recovery.

Good ole 4th of July. My wife showed me a story about a kid about 22 partying with friends in Maine and he put a firework on his head and lit it.


It did not end well.

too coarse?

I actually feel bad now. Seems like the guy was a good bloke. His brother thinks he was just messing around and accidently lit it. His brother said there was no rushing him to the hospital because there was nothing left.

A weather forecaster on Detroit TV, Dave Rexroth, lost an eye last year in a fireworks accident. Incredible. Really likeable guy, too.

He's become the spokesperson around here for the "don't-play-around-with-fireworks" group.

Giants have withdrawn a long term $60M offer to JPP that they had on the table. Franchise tender remains:

NFL radio just said he had his index finger amputated this morning.

It's not a good sign when reps from the giants are in the area and trying to see him, and he won't meet with them

According to ESPN, JPP's official combine numbers have been revised. Arm length is now 32 3/4 ".

They'll just have a special glove made for him and he'll be fine.

Hard to talk when you are anesthetized and undergoing surgery.

But his prognosis is good. Dr. Mark Chao, MD Twitter says that index finger provides little of the leverage for a power grip. However, he probably gets a few less tipped balls.

I'd like to see some numbers on this but ...

My ranking of finger importance in a defensive end:
1) thumb
2) ring
3) pinkie (4th & 5th most important for power grip)
4) middle
5) index

CJ Wilson lost some fingers the same day. Crazy, but it could be way worse.

Well, there was the guy that killed himself by setting them off on his head...

I guess it's a good thing Quarless didn't play with fireworks. How could he survive without his trigger finger?
