New York Giants legendary linebacker Lawrence Taylor was hospitalized for a stomach-related issue that his attorney says is non-life-threatening.

Attorney Mark Eiglarsh issued a statement on Monday saying Taylor authorized him to let people know he has been in the hospital for a week with no discharge date determined.

The 67-year-old Pro Football Hall of Famer is under medical observation for the stomach-related issue, and he is showing signs of improvement.

“Lawrence asks that I convey his sincere gratitude to everyone who has been thinking of him and keeping him in their prayers during this challenging time,” Eiglarsh said in the statement.

Taylor is considered by many to be the greatest linebacker of all time, and possibly the best defender to ever grace the gridiron.

GIANTS LEGEND LAWRENCE TAYLOR, 67, HOSPITALIZED AFTER MEDICAL EMERGENCY: REPORT

The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year helped the Giants win two Super Bowls, while reaching 10 straight Pro Bowls, making eight All-Pros and being named MVP of the 1986 season.

Taylor remains the Giants’ all-time sacks leader, which also includes his 9.5 sacks he secured during his rookie season before sacks became an official NFL stat.

Taylor’s No. 56 was retired by the Giants, and he eventually reached Canton, Ohio, entering the Hall of Fame in 1999.

However, there were off-the-field issues that Taylor dealt with, including legal troubles following his playing days. He also had drug problems, which resulted in health issues later in life.  

In 2011, Taylor pleaded guilty in New York to misdemeanor criminal charges of sexual misconduct and patronizing an underage prostitute. He was sentenced to six years of probation and ordered to register as a sex offender. Taylor was also charged in Florida with failing to update his address on the state’s registry in 2021 and 2024.

Taylor showed his support for President Donald Trump in 2024, appearing at a rally in Wildwood, N.J..

“I grew up a Democrat, and I’ve always been a Democrat until I met this man right here,” Taylor said to cheers. “Nobody in my family ever will vote for a Democrat again.”

Taylor made Giants headlines last year when he quickly turned down Abdul Carter’s request to wear Taylor’s No. 56 that has been retired by the organization since 1994, one season after he retired.

Jasmine Crockett’s social media posts about WHCD shooting show different tones

Published

on

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, posted on social media what appeared to be contradictory messages about the shooting over the weekend at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

In the shooting that unfolded at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., gunman Cole Tomas Allen of California rushed through a security checkpoint with guns and knives. One Secret Service agent was shot in the chest but was saved by his bulletproof vest.

The Justice Department charged Allen with attempting to assassinate the president, transporting a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce with intent to commit a felony, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.

President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and other administration officials were in attendance, as were members of Congress and the media. Trump and other attendees were rushed off the stage, and the suspect was taken into custody.

Crockett, who lost in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate this year, has made multiple posts about the shooting since it happened, with some condemning political violence and others questioning whether assassination attempts against Trump were staged.

On her official X and Threads accounts, she said, “The political violence is unacceptable and must stop.”

“I am grateful that everyone attending tonight’s WHCD is safe,” the congresswoman added.

But on her Jasmine For US campaign Threads account, she posted, “Has there ever been a president have this many close ‘attempts’ on their life?”

“Maybe it’s lax gun laws, maybe it’s lack of mental health funding, or maybe it’s fake… who knows,” the post continued.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Crockett’s office for comment. A message was also left with the office of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., seeking comment.

In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, Trump began claiming that the incident showed the need for his proposed White House ballroom. Other administration officials and the president’s allies in Congress quickly began pushing for the ballroom as well.

But the dinner was hosted by the White House Correspondents’ Association and not the White House, and it had more than twice as many guests as the proposed ballroom could hold.

A judge had, on multiple occasions, halted construction of the $400 million White House ballroom, ruling that it lacked congressional approval, while offering an exception for “actions strictly necessary to ensure the safety and security of the White House and its grounds.”

Jimmy Kimmel remains defiant, insists ‘expectant widow’ jab against Trumps was about age difference

Published

on

ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel remained defiant Monday night, insisting his now-viral “expectant widow” joke about President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump was simply about their age. 

“This was Thursday, and there was no big reaction to it until this morning, when I greeted the day facing yet another Twitter vomit storm,” Kimmel said during his monologue. “I said, our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at her. So beautiful. This is from the glow. Like an expected widow, which obviously was a joke about their age difference and the look of joy we see on her face every time they were together.”

“It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he’s almost 80, and she’s younger than I am. It was not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination — and they know that,” he continued. “I’ve been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence in particular, but I understand that the First Lady had a stressful experience over the weekend, and probably every weekend is pretty stressful in that house.”
