Iowa WR Kaden Wetjen was drafted while on the golf course 😳⛳️

@DavidEickholt Until the NCAA makes us vacate 4 players because KF was caught speeding in 2006

With TJ Hall being selected in this year’s draft— Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz has officially had 100 players drafted during his Iowa tenure. Remarkable Run.

@BussinWTB Make a grilled cheese at night

Shane Gillis came out and sang with Zach Bryan last night 😂😂😂 What can’t this man do!?

Glad our Koosie is keeping your lead hand cool. Keep your head down, follow through, and enjoy the back nine!! ⛳️🏌️

@CyGradCyDad @ohcrapitspete Wait till you get your New Balance. You will be in heaven

@ohcrapitspete Oh they rock

I can tell I'm getting older because every time I see a Skechers commercial I think, "damn those look comfy"

Someone tell me good or bad or how should I feel

New IQVIA data shows how PBMs steer specialty prescriptions to their own pharmacies. For patients starting a new brand-name drug: • Oral oncology: 84% approval at PBM-affiliated pharmacies vs. 70% at unaffiliated pharmacies • Autoimmune: 63% vs. 61% But the pathway matters: • First-fill approvals are far higher at PBM-affiliated pharmacies (42% vs. 14% in oncology; 29% vs. 8% in autoimmune) • At unaffiliated pharmacies, many patients only get approved after switching (14% oncology; 20% autoimmune) The result: PBM-owned pharmacies capture a disproportionate share of specialty volume.

@JeffreyTheGreek I have a friend that works for the UConn AD. Can confirm 😂

The UConn ADs hiring process:

@JMozloom Reminds me of the time our professor banned TI-85 calculators so I brought in an abacus for a test

Hahahaha. Back to the Future.

@BigTenGrant Legend

@HawkeyeWeirdAl So let it be written, so let it be done

The Portal giveth and The Portal taketh away.

@tyschmit Unleash Fulgerous!

Need one more run. One more.

@BigTenGrant , tell them to unleash Fulgerous!

@BigTenGrant Happens to the best of us. Especially sad when I am a 3X and the largest shirts are slim fit 2X. But here we are with a dozen in my closet that will fit one day soon

I have once again crumbled under the pressure of the pro shop at a golf tournament

@BussinWTB I have a free Illinois jersey he can wear for the next game 😆Go Hawks!

DID THE JACKED FLORIDA FAN CURSE NEBRASKA???

**Johnson’s Corner Pharmacy** *Your Hometown Independent Since 1998* 456 Independence Lane Knoxville, TN 37902 (865) 555-0192 | bob@johnsonscornerpharmacy.com March 26, 2026 CVS Health Corporation Executive Leadership Team One CVS Drive Woonsocket, RI 02895 **Re: Generous Offer to Acquire Your 134 Tennessee Pharmacies – Because Fair Is Fair** Dear CVS Executive Team (and whoever still reads these letters before forwarding them to Legal), It has come to our attention—through the same industry channels that once delivered your famously compassionate “we-feel-your-pain” letters to every independent pharmacy in America—that operating 134 stores in the Volunteer State might be getting a tad… challenging. We remember those letters well. The ones that arrived right after CVS Caremark slashed our reimbursement rates to somewhere between “thank you for your service” and “please don’t make us pay the electric bill.” The ones that expressed such deep, heartfelt concern about the “current economic pressures facing independent pharmacies.” The ones that somehow always ended with a polite invitation to sell out before we, you know, went broke. We were touched. Really. So now, in the same spirit of neighborly compassion, we at Johnson’s Corner Pharmacy (one scrappy independent, zero PBMs, still somehow turning a profit) would like to return the favor. We are prepared to make a **very generous offer** to purchase all 134 of your Tennessee CVS pharmacies—lock, stock, red boxes, and those little “next window please” signs. Our valuation model is simple and transparent: we’ll pay you exactly what CVS Caremark has been reimbursing us for the past few years. You know the rate—the one that makes a grown pharmacist cry into their compounding hood. It’s only fair. After all, turnabout is pharmacy justice. Think of the benefits this acquisition will bring you: - You’ll finally be free to focus on what CVS does best—lobbying Congress, perfecting the 47-step app checkout, and reminding patients that “health is everything” while your mail-order division quietly undercuts the very stores you own. - We’ll take over the leases, the MinuteClinics, the endless corporate KPIs, and the soul-crushing drive-thru metrics. - Your shareholders won’t have to watch another earnings call where someone asks why the retail division keeps getting squeezed by… well… you. Under independent ownership, these stores could become actual community pharmacies again—places where patients are greeted by name instead of by their insurance BIN number. Revolutionary, we know. We understand if this offer surprises you. It’s not every day the little guy offers to rescue the $300-billion gorilla from the very reimbursement model the gorilla invented. But we’re optimists. And we have excellent financing (mostly from not paying DIR fees anymore). Please have your people call our people (my wife handles the phone between filling prescriptions and coaching Little League). We look forward to making this a “win-win partnership” in the exact same way your letters always described. With the warmest regards and just a hint of the sarcasm you’ve earned, **Bob Johnson** Owner, Chief Bottle-Labeler, and Proud Independent Pharmacy Owner Johnson’s Corner Pharmacy P.S. If you’d like, we can even keep the “CVS” signs up for a few months. We hear they look great on a bonfire.

The big lie of “gov sucks at everything “ , is that they suck the most at enforcing performance and costs. You know what’s worse than the gov running a service? Private companies knowing that the gov entities they contract with can’t do shit to stop them from fucking up everything and making a fortune. I’m not saying this applies to every private company. Many do have ethics. Not all. And as an entrepreneur, it’s embarrassing to us all. Need proof ? Look at the Noem ad contract. Look at healthcare. Taxpayers provide 70pct or more of the revenue of the largest insurance companies. Those same insurance companies get fined and found liable for ripping off taxpayers, again and again and again. And they still get to do business with the gov, knowing they can effectively steal money from us all. The fines are a nuisance. And this is healthcare. When they lie, people die. Maybe when we are smart enough to pass laws saying that gov contractors get one mulligan. Two fines from any government entity and you are blacklisted from Gov contracts at the state and federal level for 10 years. That’s when things will change Until then the concept of privatization of gov services like the tsa or post office or .. is just a license for a private company to abuse taxpayers and face next to no consequences.

@LukaG_55 we might be in the second to last row, but wearing our Hawkeye gear and cheering for a Hawkeye great at the @celtics Go Hawks

Well @OptiflowUS Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, it has been 22 years, but my old CPAP finally gave up the ghost. Thanks for the peaceful naps
