Hopefully just rain in Freehold
Shoveling isn’t my thing, don’t feel like paying someone to do it, and heading to the princeton bball game on monday don’t feel like having it be a production driving there

Only one model shows all rain in Freehold with most showing 2-4" (or more), so I'd expect 2-4" starting likely as rain and then mixing with and changing to snow. I'd put your possible range at 1" to 6" though, depending on the actual track and banding. You'll get a complete refund if I'm wrong, lol.

The Biden administration, in its last full weekday in office, announced the next 15 drugs up for Medicare price negotiation. Blockbuster diabetes drug Ozempic is on the list.

That means the federal government and the pharmaceuticals industry are about to go head-to-head once again. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services negotiated prices for a first batch of drugs last year — something it could only do because of the Inflation Reduction Act, which passed in 2022. Those new prices go into effect in January 2026.

yes, I was going to mention that too. Unfortunately those prices for the new 15 wouldn't go into effect until 2027. But here's yet another thing. Starting a few weeks ago the Cap on Medicare Part D (including Advantage plans) drug expenses for covered drug is now $2,000!

• Your yearly Part D
  Out-of-pocket costs
  Health or prescription drug costs that you must pay on your own because they aren’t covered by Medicare or other insurance.
  will be capped at $2,000 in 2025. You’ll also have the option to pay out-of-pocket costs in monthly amounts over the plan year, instead of when they happen.

I need to hear this from my Insurance prover first but if true than that takes the annual cost of something like Ozempic down from $7,872 to $2,000. (and the few other items I get would be free then). Game changer.

Wtf???? State has salt trucks parked in lots and along 202 in Branchburg. Are they planning on salting the rain or are they on the clock until tomorrow?

I can’t prove it. But I think it very likely he was more injured than was ever made public. He was a hugely impactful player (mostly on D) when healthy and I would guess any mental checkout that existed would’ve been driven more by the nature of the injury and what it meant for him long term. It’s just a guess but it fits all known facts (even if it contradicts a lot of non-facts people took to be facts about him).

Well ... the "talk" from those supposedly in the know was that he was LESS injured than the length and frequency of his absence implied ... and he was certainly less effective ... and by ALL indications he had checked out towards the end of the season to preserve his NIL options. Which, in the end also REDUCED his NIL options (because of perceived attitude - like caring about his own prospects more than his team - issues)

Teams now have to also account for Grant. Hopefully we keep seeing progress from him and others.

Anyone else notice Gavin G.? My final answer is simply NO

Dumb question but what is WAB?

The shooters like Acuff, Martini, Hayes, Derkack who rely on passes to get a shot (Ace and Dylan just make their own shots) are definitely impacted by this team’s absolute piss poor passing - few passes hit the pocket and most are two feet off.

Why all the animus towards Gavin? What did he do to RU other than fail to live up to the hype that others created?

He could have gone anywhere and chose RU and I appreciate him making that choice. It didn’t work out. Unfortunately he’s not as good as others made him out to be but that’s not his fault.

I don’t think it’s about failing to live up to the hype. I think it’s more about blaming the coaching staff for his failures instead of owning up to it, to get better.

He also had said he would never transfer. If he transferred down to an A10 team I think there would be more understanding. But to transfer to another big ten team, blame the coaching staff, and bail at the first possible chance, left a bad taste. He would have been better off here. He would be in year 2 in leading the defensive system. His length could have potentially been helpful for a few mins. Instead he’s a regular DNP.

Grabbing some of these winnable road games is huge because it’s a road win and more likely they will maintain as Q1 just because of the 75 and under NET threshold. We whiffed on OSU and Indiana road games opportunities. OSU, Indiana, Nebraska, and PSU are not power houses, very winnable games. You can’t win every road game, but you do have to win some, especially now for RU with the hole they have jumped into that they dug for themselves. Need to cash in on these opportunities that are likely to remain Q1 even until the end of the season. @Northwestern is another winnable Q1 road game ahead for RU, have to cash in, I think Northwestern will stay in top 75. The home games are tougher to remain Q1, as we see with PSU and UCLA wins and the 30 and under NET threshold.

glad Hobbs is gone. In the scenario where schools determine the sports that receive revenue share, imagine if he took money away from football/basketball to prop up gymnastics etc. I wouldn’t put it past him.

What does sizzle chest mean?
