A wonderful memory I, too, will cherish. Those late night, half-asleep pods were a joy to be part of.

Thanks! Yes, leaving on my own terms, and fortunate to be doing so given the current media climate.

πŸ™ƒ Alas! Start my new gig Monday. Wish the timing could've allowed for one last F4, but just didn't work out

I've done the CBS Sports college basketball power rankings every week this season.

Purdue makes case to return to No. 1 with road win at No. 8 Alabama No. 2 Purdue proved old-school physicality, high-level execution can be a winning recipe against even the most modern teams

Wrote about Purdue-Bama last night.

Arguably no team more modern in CBB than the Tideβ€”so it was ironic an old-school gameplan from the Boilermakers doomed them Thursday.

Ack, I should’ve been more clear: He didn’t make the CBS’ list. Nos. 96-101 were at-large selections. So each writer got to write in a player they were higher on to round out the ranks.

Getting a snip is a steep enough price to pay imo.

They didn’t help with the case β€” it was mostly talks with my insurer and the HC provider β€” but I felt compelled to report it so hopefully others with similar experiences don’t just take the bill + threatening escalation at face value. Everyone in/around insurance was shocked at the situation.

Thank you so much. I’m sure some folks have thousands laying around but I am not among them lol. I filed a report with the insurance commissioner as well per your recommendation after it was adjudicated. They sent bills from 2021 but had policy of not collecting past 2022, so it all just felt wrong.

My account has been zeroed out because it was beyond the date of collection and the only bills sent came 4.5 years later. Took many hours of calls, emails, and digging, but now resolved. Huge relief.

Many many thanks to @norlander.bsky.social @summerbreeze0102.bsky.social & others for your help. πŸ™πŸ½

Hey now, Lucy has been a big help. And I wouldn't be the most trustworthy source when it comes to wording and medical billing. I don't know if processing is the correct term; I just know I didn't receive a bill to my knowledge until this year for a service in 2021. I'm still trying to find out more

What do you mean by β€œacknowledging” any debt? Do you mean like over the phone with the provider? I haven’t had any correspondences with them beyond asking for itemized statement, so presumably I am clear since that is not an acknowledgement

Thank you so much for your responses. I am going to do some more digging this week and hopefully find some answers.

Question for ppl smarter than me: I received a bill this week for a healthcare service provided in February 2021. I confirmed today it took four-plus years to process; it was not previously billed. Is there grounds to contest it? Wondering if this could vary by state, but I live in OK.

Cedric Coward's path to the NBA Draft shouldn't be possible Coward's inconceivable rise from D-III obscurity to lock first-round pick is a journey basketball's never seen.

There have been 8,315 men selected into the NBA in 78 years.

None of them took as unlikely of a path as what Cedric Coward has walked.

Big feature on an incredible guy who went from zero-star prospect, a terrible D-III team to first-round lock. It is a story without parallel in basketball history.

You’ll hear plenty this week about Khaman Maluach: the 7-foot-2 Duke big tracking to be a top-10 pick.

Here’s more about Maluach the person: a South Sudanese refugee whose affable aura and love for life have captivated coaches, teammates β€” and the NBA.
