Randy Travis has suffered a stroke.

Randy Travis has been in the news a bit lately, and not for his six Grammy wins or his legendary career in music.  It’s more for his personal troubles with alcohol, and it appears that there are more troubles waiting under the surface for the legendary country crooner with the awesome voice.  Randy Travis is in critical condition at Heart Hospital Baylor Plano, in Plano, Texas.  Travis went in for a heart condition, basically congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy, and while in the hospital, Travis suffered a stroke.  He is in critical condition.

Describing the stroke as a “complication of his congestive heart failure,” Travis’s spokesman Kirt Webster said, “He is out of surgery and remains in critical condition.”

Sadly, the stroke came just hours after the Baylor Health Care System released a statement indicating that Travis was responding positively to treatment for his heart problems.  Up until three weeks ago, Travis was in good health until he caught a viral upper respiratory infection.  Here’s hoping for a quick, full recovery for the singer.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
