[QUOTE=jlzinck;9470561]Was this from the same source that told you Aldridge signed with the Lakers?[/QUOTE]

BOOM!!!!:flex::flex::flex:

Apparently per Adam Schefter, who has better sources than the OP: "JPP's hand injury is not career-threatening. He's expected to meet with doctors and is in "good spirits."

Should've watched The Butterfly Effect.

No one knows the details and the only thing that's concrete is that it's severely injured.

@AndySlater

Big Jason Pierre-Paul story about to break in S. Fla. He severely injured hand in fireworks accident. @Coach_Eisy first to hint at situation

and that it's not career threatening

@AdamSchefter

Jason Pierre-Paul expected to meet with doctors, they will have their say, but early indications are, hand injury is not career threatening.

Honest question, can a hand injury be career threating? I mean we've seen people play with broken hands where they just have that club cast over their whole hand. I would think even if an injury was as severe as losing a whole hand, the player could still play if they wanted to, albeit at a lesser level.

The only think I can think of is that there could be nerve damage that effects the rest of the arm/body but I honestly don't even know if thats possible.

Nah no way, he'll still be able to play.
That field goal kicker from the 60's -70's named Clint Dempsey had half a foot and he was still balling out on the field.

I can't imagine that much is career threatening unless you blow a limb clear off.

With as much as DL and DE's use their hands I think it could be if the damage was severe enough.

Clint Dempsey is a soccer player for the USMNT and the Seattle Sounders. I think you mean Tom Dempsey?

This exactly, if his hand loses a lot of the strength in it, he could be a shell of himself trying to get off of blocks.

I wonder if TC is pissed.

Fixed it for you. :D:p

End of drama.

[QUOTE=HeritageKing;9471630]I wonder if TC is pissed.[/QUOTE]


I would say yes, even if he doesn't know anything about this.

Completely off topic but I saw where Walter Thurmond was saying how TC doesn't believe in modern medicine for players at all.
[QUOTE]“He’s a little old-school, but he’s starting to come around to the times,” Thurmond said. “He doesn’t believe in the sport-science aspect like Coach Carroll or Coach Kelly and the newfound technology for the players. His style takes a hit, because he doesn’t believe in this aspect. He believes in winning, but he doesn’t believe in the modern medicine to progress the players to that next level.”[/QUOTE]


I didn't think much of it until I saw this graph

I posted it in the Packers offseason thread.

Q isn't good enough to get his own thread.

A friend of mine lost portions of three fingers a few years ago when a firework 'safety' fuse malfunctioned and it exploded near his hand. He wasn't doing anything unusual, simply had product that was not properly made. It was purchased from the same store with the same items that worked perfectly. There is always a risk involved.
