- Superstar Billy Graham's Representative Scott Epstein provided the following update on Graham and his health situation:
"Everyone
please pray big time as his lab results from earlier today show he is
malnourished thus they are putting in a PIC line in his arm so he can be
given IV nutrients 24/7. Doctors are having difficulty stabilizing his
blood sugar, he keeps dropping so low according to his wife that he is
very very weak.
He does have an obstruction of some sort in his
bowel or colon area and they are trying to clear it. If it doesn't clear
soon, this is day 8 in a Wyoming hospital, they are talking about
surgery which is a last resort of course. Surgery would mean losing part
or most of your colon, side effects from anaesthea especially when your
immune system is so weak, and/or bleeding out as his 10 year old
transplanted liver is in cirrosis stage, something that is very normal
for a liver that old transplanted no matter how well you watch yourself.
The bills are mounting and thanks to a great fan who turned me on to a fundraising site we are trying to raise funds for Billy.

In a recent interview, ESPN analyst Stuart Scott told Soultrain.com
that Ric Flair was in the category of people that he was awestruck by.
Scott said:
"I remember about a decade ago at a golf tournament I
met Ric Flair. And he knew who I was, and that just blew me away. There
are so many athletes that I meet. A lot of the guys I know now. When I
mention some of the people I've met to the younger generation, they're
like, 'That's so cool!' But to me they're my peers. If they're good
guys, they're good guys. When Ric Flair walked up to me and said, 'Hey
Stuart Scott, I love your work,' I got excited! Even though I'm an adult
Ric Flair came from my childhood. I used to love when Ricky Steamboat
would beat him down."
