JPP Is A Very Unsafe Person
Like a lot of other people, I’m beginning to wonder if JPP should only play football. He seems safest then.
So JPP got in a single car wreck on May 2nd. According to TMZ he ran into a concrete barrier in a very expensive car. In the process he broke some vertebrae in his neck and is likely going to miss at least a good portion of the season. Apparently JPP chose to not have surgery to fix his head stand, which seems very dumb to me. It’s your neck. You need your neck. It’s not like a leg. You can do without a leg.
I mean, sure, you might not be able to play as well with a fused neck, but like…you probably shouldn’t play football after a neck injury anyway. Especially at defensive end. I did read that several doctors believed the neck will heal on it’s own without surgery, so maybe it wasn’t too bad and he’ll be fine. But man I’d be terrified to hit anyone after recovering from a broken neck. I have no idea why Ryan Shazier wants to go back to football after his injury, football is what caused that. JPP’s best days are probably behind him at this point even though he still had a pretty decent season. He got paid. Maybe he should take it easy for the season. Don’t play. Heal up as much as he can. Then eke out the rest of his deal and maybe another past that.
Or just straight up start on week 1 because he clearly shouldn’t be anywhere but a football field.
Also is 10 bucks cheap for fireworks? I’ve never bought fireworks. I do not find fireworks very interesting. Fireworks are extremely overrated. They are too loud and the amusement is very short lived.
Depends on the fireworks, but yeah… any decent amount of fireworks is probably going to cost closer to $100-$200. I throw $10/month toward ’em in a 4th Jar, and that usually lasts our family from sunset to about 11:00 pm. Some folks go super crazy, though– my neighbors’ll spend close to a grand each year on blowing up small chunks of the country.
ps– you should come up to my neck of the woods for the 4th. I’ll bbq for you and yours.
Fireworks at Averiens! Then we can show Dave a real fireworks show.
Also, I agree 10 bucks is a great deal for any good ones.

I had a friend that used to own a fireworks stand. One year, me and some guys did a fireworks show for the neighborhood and we got the good stuff. The high dollar pro show grade stuff. As we running in and lighting and running out, one of the big boxes kinda screwed up. Instead of shooting the fireworks, it exploded. It was scary really but I laughed, mainly because one of my friends was the one who lit it and when it exploded I told him it looked like he was in a trailer for a new Michael Bay movie. Never will forget that. Also, haven’t done fireworks since.
Reminds me of the time a friend and I carried a box of fireworks out to the field and began lighting them off. We were tossing jumping jacks when wouldn’t you know it, one of those bastards flew right back at us and landed in the box. It was interesting to watch, but a bit of a waste of a few weeks allowance.
Back in college I was part of the chemistry club and our motto was, “Blowing things up in the name of SCIENCE!” One time, someone forgot to put the cap on the guncotton jar and a spark from another demo got into it. Kapow! None of us got hurt aside from a few cuts and bruises, but it was an explosion to remember.
I’m not so sure about “short lived”, four years later and the fireworks are still amusing us.
This is one of those comments where I wish there was a like button.
To give insight on your question on why guys like Shazier, Aaron Williams, Brett Favre and others would have a hard time of letting go of playing football even after a serious injury:
Having played football myself, I still miss it because of the camaraderie you develop with your teammates while playing, of being part of something greater than yourself, and improving yourself to conquer your fears despite the grueling summer practices and constant hitting. Also, tackling and blocking could be fun at times despite the danger.
How can you possibly deride celebrating America’s time-honored tradition of blowing shit up?
I haven’t bought fireworks in years; all my neighbors spend heavily on them, so I feel no need
Here’s some cold comfort for you Dave. No matter how bad it gets for the Giants, remember that you could always be a Jets fan.
ooh snap…
Their draft video is a legend.
