Tampa DE Jason Pierre Paul suffered a potential season-ending fractured neck injury in a single-car accident last week in south Florida, league sources tell ESPN. Pierre-Paul will visit neck specialists this week to get their opinions to see if there’s hope to save this season.
Loved him in a Giants uniform
Wish him well and hope he invested wisely.
Yup. Got a ring, millionaire, I know I would.
JPP has fractured neck, may miss '19 - ( New Window )
BOOM goes the dynamite!
No way - he suffers his worst luck during the offseason. If he retires, his whole life becomes the offseason!

This may be inappropriate at this time, but playing with fireworks without knowing what the hell you're doing is not 100% bad luck, there is some stupidity involved there (again, my condolences to JPP for both incidents, and I humbly admit anyone could be a victim of a fireworks or car accident including myself, but at the very least the fireworks incident we cannot just chalk up to "bad luck").
JPP's 2011 is still one of the best seasons by a DL the league has ever seen. I remember Canty saying that year the only guy he's ever seen play like that is Reggie White, which is who JPP reminded him of. He was that dominant. He had White's strength with Julius Peppers' athleticism.
You don't see that level too often. Had he somehow kept that up he'd be a 1st ballot HOF

It's all part of the handshake someone made with the man downstairs to win two Lombardy and two SB MVP trophies...
Wild theory is this is his second self-induced injury.
That JPP fireworks incident and the Plax shooting himself incident are two moments in NYG infamy.
Sometimes you make your own luck.

with the 15th overall pick was not one of them. The minute I heard that JPP blew off half his hand, I knew the Giants chances for another Lombardi within the next five years had just evaporated.

Right you are.
People who get into one accident get charged higher insurance rates for good reason, its likely a higher statistical correlation to getting into multiple accidents. DG made the right move here.
Nice guy, brought the fans here a lot of joy when he wasn't hurt. (The story about his blind dad made me appreciate him a lot).
All the best JPP, and a full recovery to you.
I'm not an expert on neck injuries, but I know there is the vertabrum and the transverse process. Is a cracked transverse process on a cervical vertabrum a season-ending injury? If he cracked the vertabrum itself, geez, that's freakin' scary.
This isn't a football injury; it was a car accident.
Polian's comment on injured players really doesn't apply here. This could have just as easily happened to a guy who went 10 years in the league without missing a single game.
