Jason Pierre-Paul couldn’t dodge the Daily News all by himself Sunday.  He needed an extra hand.  The beleaguered Giants defensive end, whose finger was reportedly amputated after a July 4 fireworks accident, tried to fool a Daily News reporter at a charity event in Sunrise, Fla. by sending out a burly decoy in a bandaged hand who was whisked away in a waiting vehicle.  But the fake football player wrapped up the wrong mitt — in toilet paper, no less — a move even Pierre-Paul’s security people admitted was ill-conceived.  FOLLOW THE DAILY NEWS SPORTS ON FACEBOOK. "LIKE" US HERE  As the fake Pierre-Paul was coming out the front, the real one was sneaking out the back, said a security guard at the event.  Pierre had his right index finger amputated, and his adjacent thumb was badly fractured after a Florida fireworks mishap left him with extensive hand injuries.  Since then, he has been a recluse of sorts, avoiding the public, the media and even his own team — including Giant doctors, who have yet to look at their star defensive end.  My bad except lost a finger LOL.  Last week, Giants owner John Mara again voiced his displeasure with Pierre-Paul’s disappearing act.  The only glimpse of the damage were exclusive Daily News photos of Pierre-Paul in July.  But it looked like Pierre-Paul might finally surface after he used social media to advertise a charity event he was hosting.  He even joked about the finger folly when he corrected a typo in one of his tweets.  Pierre-Paul had just broken his silence on his status with a positive message to his followers on Twitter.  VACCHIANO: TIME FOR JPP TO COME OUT OF HIDING  “What happened to me was not a setback,” Pierre-Paul said about the setback. “God has greater plans for me. No man can judge me except God himself.”  He meant to write “except” instead of “accepted,” then admitted that a simple thing like typing isn’t as easy as it used to be. Three minutes later, he tweeted again. “My bad except lost a finger LOL,” Pierre-Paul wrote.  The Deerfield Beach native was there to give away backpacks to area school kids the day before Broward County schools open, an idea thought up by his fiancée, Farraw Germain. The church's pastors, Apostles Clyde and Sheila O'Brien, have known Pierre-Paul since his days playing youth and high school football, as he grew up with Sheila O'Brien's family. Clyde O'Brien has been his spiritual advisor and has been trying to help him with life off of the football field.  "He wanted to give something back to the area and the smiles on the faces of the kids were a good indication that what he was doing was working," O'Brien said. "Pretty much they left me out of the loop and said they had it covered, but they wanted to do it here."  Unfortunately, some of the kids that showed up later missed out on the chance to meet the football star as he made his exit out a side door in another vehicle at the same time that his decoy was running out the front. About 45 minutes after the event officially ended, Germain was hustled out the same side door into the same black Porsche Cayenne that was used for the decoy.  There's still no indication when Pierre-Paul might feel good enough about his physical recovery to join the Giants, who have been frustrated that he hasn't allowed their doctors or trainers to examine him.  The Giants, short on impact pass-rushers, have not rescinded Pierre-Paul's $14.813 million franchise tag, which he has not yet signed.
Jason Pierre-Paul insisted his fireworks accident was "not a set back" and he even showed he hasn't lost his sense of humor.
