oochymp 2,393 Posted February 25, 2016 Probably? How is it even probably? Schefter gonna get his ass sued. yeah, about that: Pierre-Paul sues ESPN, Schefter for leaking medical records | SI.com New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul has sued ESPN and reporter Adam Schefter over a July tweet that contained Pierre-Paul’s classified medical records. The lawsuit was first reported by the New York Post, and the full document was released by Deadspin. Pierre-Paul, 27, is alleging violations of both his privacy and Florida’s medical records statute, which states that medical records can remain only between a patient and those involved in their care. The majority of the lawsuit focuses on the hospital’s shortcomings. The suit says Schefter “improperly obtained” Pierre-Paul’s medical chart, revealing the amputation of his right index finger following a July 4 fireworks accident in the Miami area, and released it out of a “selfish desire to ‘break news.’” Schefter had approximately 4 million Twitter followers at the time and is known for breaking major NFL news. as I said earlier there are built in exceptions in HIPAA for reporters, but I don't know if the same is true about Florida's medical records statute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLUE 1,026 Posted March 8, 2016 Per Rotoworld.com: Giants re-signed LE Jason Pierre-Paul to a one-year contract. It's worth "up to $10.5 million." Pierre-Paul was seeking a long-term deal, and the Cardinals reportedly made a late push to sign him, but JPP is returning to New York to bank on himself having a bounce-back year and hitting the free-agent market again next March at 29 years old. He recorded just one sack in eight games last season, but still proved to be disruptive off the edge. Retaining Pierre-Paul shouldn't preclude GM Jerry Reese from adding more pass-rush help. It's a huge need still with DE Robert Ayers also a free agent. Mar 8 - 1:46 PM Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
