It just wasn't JPP.

 

At least according to this report...

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Can we give this guy (and JPP, for that matter) the NFL equivalent of a Darwin Award?

I still have to give it to the guy who lit the fireworks on his head.

That's just a Darwin Award. We're talking about the honorary NFL equivalent here.

And yet he's out of the hospital and JPP is still in?

Reports are that JPP had his right index finger amputated.

This probably is the end of C.J. Wilson's NFL career.   I now wonder how many other NFL players handled fireworks a few days ago that were fortunate not to suffer a life altering injury:

Ahh...an NFL category.  Got it.

 

A good idea and distinction.

 

Hopefully it won't be necessary, but...

What the heck are they doing?

I would think JPP should be fine without one index finger, DE has a little more leway there, not that same thing, but similar to an OL playing with a club.


Wilson, on the other hand (pun intended) uses his fingers and hands daily trying to catch as a corner. He's probably done

IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

What the heck are they doing?

Wilson was apparently holding a Roman candle that blew up rather than shooting fireballs.

Can't say I did not do that in my younger years.

Same. I fired off many a Roman candle round on the beach back in high school. I guess the only things I could really fault Wilson for would be not reading the box to see what the firework did first (there are Roman candles out there that explode like a firecracker when the rounds are all expelled), and for taking an unnecessary risk like that knowing that his multi-million dollar earnings potential is based upon him, you know, having fingers.

 

Still, it's not like he did anything I never did, and I'd bet a healthy majority of drunk American males have had some sort of fireworks "battle" on the Fourth of July.

Both are Darwin award winners to the nth degree.
