If you are a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, you know just how important Kris Letang has been over the years. The star defenseman has helped the team win two Stanley Cup championships, and he remains a staple of the franchise. Overall, he is a guy that the fanbase adores.
Unfortunately, Letang went through a medical emergency Monday as he suffered a stroke. Letang suffered a stroke in 2014, and he has been open and honest about his medical struggles. Subsequently, Letang was taken to the hospital where he received treatment, and is currently doing well.

According to TMZ, the Penguins’ General Manager Ron Hextall issued a statement on the matter. “We are grateful that Kris is doing well,” Hextall said. “We are thankful to the medical staff and the physicians at UPMC.” Additionally, Hextall noted that the Penguins are committed to making Letang’s health a priority.
“He is a warrior on the ice but first and foremost, he is a son, father, husband and friend. His health is our number one priority,” Hextall revealed. Letang himself put out a statement noting that this is something he has seen before, and immediately knew how to handle it.

“I am fortunate to know my body well enough to recognize when something isn’t right,” he said. “While it is difficult to navigate this issue publicly, I am hopeful it can raise awareness. It is important for me that my teammates, family and the fans know that I am okay. I am optimistic that I will be back on the ice soon.”
Hopefully, Letang continues to recover from this incredibly scary event. Strokes can be deadly, and luckily, Letang was able to get medical attention quickly.

This past Monday, Jan Roeg filed a lawsuit against Atlantic Records and accused the company’s late co-founder Ahmet Ertegun of sexual assault. The talent scout is also suing Ertegun’s estate.
Roeg alleged in the lawsuit that upon meeting Ertegun, who died in 2006, he moved his hand up her skirt. She claims he touched her “backside and upper thigh close to her vaginal area,” according to Rolling Stone. She reportedly shared in the suit that the Turkish emigrant assaulted her on several other occasions and also masturbated in front of her.

In one instance, while stopping with Ertegun at his home, Roeg claimed that he began masturbating and asked her to “show me your t*ts.” After she tried to leave, the record executive allegedly pressed her against a wall and pushed himself against her, continuing his masturbation until he “soiled her shirt.”
In 1990, Roeg reportedly also shared that while out at a dinner in New York, Ertegun drugged her. This, she claims, resulted in her collapsing in the bathroom and having to get her stomach pumped.
Roeg, who began working with Atlantic Records in the 1980s before leaving in the mid-2000s, detailed additional sexual assaults by Ertegun in the suit. He allegedly forced her head to his groin area multiple times to encourage the talent scout to perform oral sex.
After rejecting his advances, Roeg claimed that the entrepreneur held back money from her in retaliation. Roeg also reportedly claimed that the label knew about Ertegun’s actions.

Per Rolling Stone, the lawsuit accuses Atlantic Records of taking a “laissez faire approach to sexual misconduct, misogynistic and hostile sexual attitudes towards women, and harassment of women in its offices, with a culture of abuse that has become famous in music business history.”
Warner Music Group, the parent company of Atlantic Records, responded to the allegations via a statement. In part, it states, “Warner Music Group and Atlantic Records take allegations of misconduct very seriously.”
They continued that the allegations “date back nearly 40 years, to before WMG was a standalone company.” They added, “We are speaking with people who were there at the time, taking into consideration that many key individuals are deceased or into their 80s and 90s.”

Von Miller is currently dealing with an injury, although that isn’t stopping him from helping out his team. The Buffalo Bills are looking to finish the year out strong, and they are still recruiting players. Of course, Miller’s recruitment has mostly focused on Odell Beckham Jr.
Odell has numerous teams to choose from right now. The two teams that are seemingly topping the list are the Dallas Cowboys and the Bills. Consequently, this has led to a lot of speculation as to which team is the best fit for the wide receiver.

Von Miller has his very own podcast where he gets to speak on a whole host of topics. Of course, he loves to give updates on his team, including “OBJ Watch.” Although some might think he is full of it, there is no denying that he has some unique and valuable information.
For instance, today, Miller dropped a bomb on The Von Cast. In the clip below, you can see that he claims that Odell will visit the Bills facility on Friday. Miller also believes that once Beckham Jr. makes his appearance, he won’t want to leave.
Overall, the Bills seem confident that they can land the wide receiver. However, it isn’t as simple as that. OBJ still needs to go through evaluations to make sure he can play. Of course, the Bills think he can still make an impact, and that’s why they have brought him in.
Let us know what you think of Odell to the Bills, in the comments below. In the meantime, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from the NFL world.
