‘I Am Blessed’: GOP Rep. Gives Health Update After Fall Landed Him In ICU

Congressman Greg Steube (R-FL) shared an update on his health on Monday after a fall from a ladder outside his Sarasota, Florida, home resulted in a trip to the Intensive Care Unit.

Steube was knocked from the ladder last Wednesday and fell 25 feet to the ground. The congressman was rushed to the hospital after someone witnessed the fall and dialed 911, bringing first responders to the scene.

After four days at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Steube tweeted a photo of himself at home, still wearing a stabilizing brace around his neck, on a couch with his dogs — and he shared how his recovery was going.

“I am blessed to have a great support team in my wife Jennifer as well as numerous friends and family, including the Steube pups,” he tweeted on Monday afternoon. “Grateful for everyone’s prayers and well-wishes as I recover from a fractured pelvis, a punctured lung, and several torn ligaments in my neck.”

Steube went on to say that his recovery was likely to keep him out of Washington, D.C., for awhile — but that he planned to stay as connected and involved as he could during his convalescence.

“While I will be sidelined in Sarasota for several weeks, I will be carrying out as many of my congressional duties as possible,” he added. “And our D.C. and district staff continue to be readily available to assist Floridians in FL-17.”

I’m eager to rejoin my colleagues in Washington as soon as possible!

“I’m eager to rejoin my colleagues in Washington as soon as possible!” he concluded.

Despite Steube’s absence, Fox News reported on Monday that newly-elected House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had been in touch with Steube to inform him of his committee assignment: the Florida lawmaker is set to serve on the new Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

While Steube will likely be able to participate in some of his duties from home, the new rules adopted by the Republican-controlled House have put an end to proxy voting and virtual hearings — meaning that the congressman will not be able to cast a vote or fully participate in hearings until he recovers enough to return to Capitol Hill.

Tom Brady Gives Profanity-Laced Answer To Question About Future

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady gave a profanity-laced response this week when asked about his football future.

Brady was asked on the “Let’s Go!” podcast whether he has made a decision about whether he will play another season in the league.

“If I knew what I was going to f***ing do, I would’ve already f***ing done it,” Brady asked.. “I’m taking it a day at a time.”

“I appreciate you asking,” he added. “Thank you.”

After Tampa Bay lost in the NFC wild-card round against the Dallas Cowboys, Brady said he would take time to determine what his future plans would be.

“I’m going to go home and get a good night’s sleep as soon as I can tonight,” Brady said. “There’s been a lot of focus on this game. Just one day at a time.”

Brady was fined $16,444 for unnecessary roughness after he tried to trip Dallas Cowboys safety Malik Hooker during the NFC wild-card game.

Hooker had recovered a fumble from Tampa Bay wide receiver Chris Goodwin in the third quarter and was heading upfield when Tampa Bay wide receiver Julio Jones tackled him as Brady attempted to take Hooker’s legs out from under him. The Buccaneers ultimately lost the game, 31-14, marking the end of the 45-year-old’s season and possibly the end of his storied career.

Following the game, Brady said that the loss was “not the way we wanted to end it, but we didn’t deserve it.”

“I just want to say thank you guys for everything you did this year,” he added. “I really appreciate all your effort. I know it’s hard for you guys. I know it’s hard for us players to make it through. You guys got a tough job, and I appreciate all that you guys do to cover us, and everyone who watches and is a big fan of the sport — we’re very grateful for everyone’s support. You know hopefully, I love this organization. It’s a great place to be.”

“Thank you everybody for welcoming me, all the regulars,” Brady continued, as he sounded like he was getting choked up. “And I’m just very grateful for the respect, and I hope I gave the same thing back to you guys. So thank you very much.”
