JPP and Giants starting to talk some more

That finger is no more

Regardless of how many fingers or toes Jason Pierre-Paul has come the beginning of the regular season, the Giants would prefer he were around than not.

And despite the relative lack of contact between the two since that fateful Independence Day when JPP lit that last fuse, there have been some rumblings lately.

Defensive line coach Robert Nunn said on Friday that he and Pierre-Paul have been exchanging text messages after the latter elected to have his right index finger amputated.

"I've spoken to him on the phone and texted him back and forth, mostly about things other than football," Nunn said via The Daily News. "It was a tragic thing that happened, a major accident. Everybody has their beliefs on what happened, what should have happened, and will make of it what they want to. But the guy went through a tough thing. It's a tough situation to be in."

A tough situation JPP put himself into, and then practically made himself a veritable North Korea, refusing to make contact with Giants officials even when they made their way down to Miami to visit him in the hospital. 

Whenever he shows for good, all the Giants can hope is that he'll be the same man he was on July 3rd.
