All things off season 2015.

New York Giants leave South Florida without getting chance to see injured JPP in hospital (http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/13222105/new-york-giants-leave-south-florida-getting-chance-see-injured-jpp-hospital)

strange...something aint right

Shefter is saying he had his right index finger amputated.
:saywhat:

That's horrible. Saw the report on ESPN. Totally crazy and hard to imagine it would affect his play. Sad and really a dumb, avoidable injury.

Nice, Jerry Garcia style. Hell of a way to pay homage especially during the 50 year anniversary shows.

Seriously. I just wore my Garcia shirt. Good for him.
Edit: BTW Trey was absolutely unreal. I expected nothing less. Treyful Dead.

Wow this sucks, didn't think it was that serious and now I feel bad for him.

From what i'm reading online, people adjust remarkably well and very quickly to finger amputations. Depending on extent (whole finger, partial, etc), and his physical/psychological recovery -- I'm betting he surprises and is back to normal mid-season.

Wow, Schefty posted JPP's actual medical chart (https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/618918579770146816/photo/1). That's a big deal and the hospital will get into serious trouble over this, with certainty of lawsuit for millions.

With that info, looks like JPP had a "ray amputation", which is explained here with pictures (http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1238395-treatment). Basically, they're going to take out all remaining parts of the index finger, so he can use the middle finger for handgrip instead.

From the article, "However, conversion to a ray amputation can narrow the palm and result in a loss of grip strength and pronation strength.. [They] found that power grip, key pinch, and supination strength are diminished by approximately 20% of normal with index ray amputations.[19] Pronation strength is diminished by 50% in the same group of patients. "


The end result is-- JPP will likely come back, but his handgrip will be weaker. I suspect he'll still be quick but the grip strength may limit a little of what he was able to do before.

All because this idiot couldn't use something that would blow him up. I swear many of these guys are absolute morons.
