You're dismissing a lot of evidence to defend your boy.
I never said Jeremy was perfect. He acted like a jackass to force himself out of town. It's entirely possible he could've extended his career with better habits off the field. However, it's entirely possible he could've lived like a nun and still had the same physical issues... it happens all the time in this sport. No one ever questioned Mark Bavaro's work ethic and his career was almost the exact same length as Shockey's (and Mark missed more games).
what kind of firework was it? If it was a blockbuster, then he is in
big trouble because the explosion and extreme heat can splinter off pieces of the fingers and Nerve damage happens up through the wrist. This happened to my cousin years ago.
Is the Frachise tender with the league office? Or is there a contract that is in the hands of his agent that has to be signed and sent to the Giants for signature? Anyone know?
see this link, it sounds unlikely, otherwise I believe the process is simple they'd just rescind the offer , but it doesn't sound like that is going to happen

Insider Buzz: Giants 'Not Likely' to Rescind Jason Pierre-Paul's Franchise Tag
Those of you saying fireworks are OK or safe because you do them is silly, anyone who thinks it is safe to do them drunk is a moron, stop posting. My family counts on me to support them. I care about them too much to risk injury for a boom or a flash of lights. There a many fun things that I choose not to do because I am a responsible adult. A football player in the middle of the biggest contract negotiation of life choosing to light off fireworks is a person who does think things through, I question his judgment. He just lost millions doing this, some people say he still may lose his hand. He is still in the hospital, I am in the medical industry, you do not usually keep people in the hospital for non serious injuries.
Fireworks in the handle of the public are too dangerous, I live in WA state and multiple fires near me were caused do to fireworks.
Scroll through some those photos, imagine your house fire because you live near a moron. think about those firefighter being in danger because loud noises and pretty lights are fun. Leave fireworks in the hands of professionals. The ones you buy are cheaply made and prone to catastrophic failures. If you keep setting them off eventually you will hurt yourself or someone you care about, for what?
As much as I'd like to pile on I enjoy lighting off some fireworks July 4th. In my defense, here in MD ground based sparklers are legal, so I'm not messing with any mortar type stuff. I'm guessing from shots of the Uhaul he had that he was playing with the illegal kinda stuff that only people with permits are allowed to buy.
he wouldn't be losing $15 million if it happened he'd be making a fortune to the highest bidder in that scenario.
This is one of those things that has a small chance of working out well for the player, as ass-backwards as that would be.
JPP probably lost all his leverage in refusing to sign tender and getting a long-term deal. This hurts JPP unless he plays on tender and plays really well next season. After July 15, his options are to play on tender or sit out. You think the Giants are going to resign him to a long term deal now. Whatever the situation, the Giants would want him this year, unless he is definitely out for the year. They already allocAted the money. so, unless JPP would miss a significant part of the season, the Giants will keep the tender and not negotiate a long term deal with him before the 15th. If they rescind it because he can't play, well then, who is going to give him big money at this point. So, he will lose the franchise money of 15 mill this year. This is not good for JPP
If only he were as smart as you, Rich.

Not so sure teams are going to be lining up to pay guaranteed millions to a guy who nearly blew his hand off with fireworks.

and
"Fact that JPP remains in hospital 36 hrs or so after accident tells you damage not minor #Giants"
Or he has GREAT insurance.

Well, this was fun.
do you mean rescind the franchise tag? I believe that's still a possibility once they learn the extent of the injury.
hard to see paying $15M for a player who won't be able to be 100% (if that's the case), a lot riding on this medical eval
