NFL superstar Jason Pierre-Paul has reportedly suffered serious damage to his hand in a 4th of July fireworks accident.
The New York Giants defensive end -- a 2-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champ -- was participating in a massive fireworks show South Florida with friends when things went wrong ... according to Andy Slater of WINZ.
We've made multiple attempts to reach JPP -- and even his parents -- so far, no luck.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us JPP suffered bad injuries to some of his fingers and his thumb.

I don't know possesses these morons to do stupid shit, especially in a contract year. If it's serious, he just fucked the whole team and the fans over because he wanted to goof off on the fourth of July.

Team and fans? If true, this rocket scientist just cost himself millions...

Never mind the fans. He doesn't have an NFL contract right now strictly speaking.
but if he had signed his tender, and it turns out this was about JPP being incredibly stupid and foolish with fireworks, would his money still be guaranteed, or does the tender have a "void if stupid shit happens" clause?
I never heard of anything so idiotic let alone in a contract year. I'm embarrassed this man is associated with the Giants. That is my feeling right now. He cost himself and his family money over fireworks.

I'm embarrassed to be from the same generation as him. Our generation of athletes are absolutely LOLworthy.

Well, there was Plax.
Oh man but at least he signed his deal before he tucked a gun in his jogging pants to go to a club. Oh boy, I couldn't even type that without laughing. Just stupid.
The Giants will almost certainly pull his tender, which I guess makes him a free agent? Does another team snap him up in anticipation of when he's healed?

Or would he be unable to pass a physical at this point, meaning that no team would deign to offer him a deal?

Depends on the severity of the injuries. If he does have partially missing fingers, no one is signing him this year.
You have no idea how it happened. For all we know he could have been taking a lit one out of the hand of a kid.

I don't know what's dumber. JPP injuring himself of saying with fireworks or Radar and his consistent absurdity.

Maybe it isn't that serious. Doesn't sound good from initial reports though.
