RIP Jason Pierre Paul’s right index finger. And tip of thumb.
Thanks to the Daily News, we are finally getting a first look at defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul’s right hand after he blew it up on a fourth of July accident.

The Daily News was able to obtain pictures of Pierre-Paul as he was stepping out of a car looking exactly how a man with less than nine fingers would look like: completely lost and empty and missing a finger. Pierre-Paul now only has a knuckle protruding where his right index finger used to be as bandages cover his thumb stub and middle finger.
I really want to feel bad for the currently unsigned Pierre-Paul, but then again, he didn’t lose his finger saving kittens from a fire or while lifting a car off a trapped child. He lost it while being an idiot. The man literally blew his fingers off lighting up some fireworks.
I’m not a monster so I really hope things work out for JPP. Maybe scaring the neighborhood kids on Halloween can be his thing if football is over for him. Everyone needs a thing.
