Jason Pierre Paul on shooting off a van load of fireworks, and Giants management on using the 'franchise' tag on him; "Yea, let's do this! What could possibly go rong?"
I wonder if this violates any clauses in his contract about dangerous things players aren't allowed to do. (I wouldn't be surprised if teams never considered this, however.)
Are you kidding me? Apparently he is missing fingers. Can't play DE with one hand.
It gets better.
@ngreenberg: Uh oh, "Pierre-Paul has not signed his $14.8 million tender and therefore is currently not under contract." http://t.co/AedvaxhBrl
Can he sign before the franchise tag is rescinded?

No hands to the face, illegal use of hands, defensive holding, horse collar, face mask. Not all bad knowing those are never getting called.
Ronnie Lott made the HoF without all his fingers.

Have seen the NFL refs at work?
Antooo, Lott was a good safety, but only marginally good at DE. 
Larry McCarren was a good center with a deformed finger.
Good good, but again, both of those guys were really crappy DE's. Favre had only one sack in his whole NFL career and he needed Strahan's help to get that sack.
Is finger code for penis now?
Just trying to keep up.
George Michael saying "There's no other way to take that" absolutely floors me every single time.
@AroundTheNFL: Giants withdraw $60M long-term offer to Jason Pierre-Paul following fireworks incident, per @RapSheet

@KimJonesSports: Good stuff from @Rapsheet…$30 million, or so, of NYG offer would have been guaranteed. Tag is $14.8M.
@RapSheet: The #Giants pulling their long-term offer may not alter the JPP outcome. He wasn’t going to accept it anyway.
That could be the most expensive fireworks display ever.

He wasn’t going to accept it anyway.
Another indicator of his dumassness.

HA! That's priceless. I also love the "He wasn't going to sign it anyway"
FYI dude....you're NOT JJ Watt
It's all fun and games until sombody pokes their eye out gets their tender pulled.
Pulling your tender is still pretty damn fun.
"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.
Cripes.
I don't believe anyone is beating David Hubal in the Mensa category. David found himself drunk and on a ski hill in Mammoth CA. And dammit David needed something to sled on. So he removed a padded barrier from a lift pole. Wandered up the hill, and started down the hill on the padded barrier at a high rate of speed.
Directly into a lift pole that was missing it's padded barrier. Head first. Ballgame.
JPP has right index finger amputated per several sources. But he's "gonna be alright."

Why do I see a trial lawyer suing the ski hill owners for negligence for not having padding on the barrier?
Maybe they shouldn't make steel so hard then.
I'm for suing US Steel as well.
I'm suing Greece then.
J P P was smarter than this guy:
A Texas man died this week after lighting a firework on his chest while partying with friends, police say.
Justin Bartek, 30, was a postal worker in Columbus, Texas. Columbus County Sheriff's officials told KPRC that Bartek and some friends were shooting off fireworksaround 1:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Dollar Hole, a popular fishing spot on the Colorado River.
Witnesses told investigators that Bartek ignited a tube-type firework called the Medieval Knight on his chest and then suffered critical injuries, according to KTRK. He died shortly afterward at Columbus Community Hospital.
