Hue Jackson Given The Boot In Oakland

Even with Al Davis gone it does not mean the Oakland Raiders will stop doing weird things. After Hue Jackson guided the Oakland Raiders to an 8-8 season he was promptly fired by new GM Reggie Mckenzie in a weird move. The Raiders have been about instability in recent years and it looks like that trend will continue in the distant future. McKenzie and owner Mark Davis will both be in on the search for a new coach.

According to Reggie McKenzie they wanted to start fresh and with a new coach. I guess that is as good of an excuse as any. Firing a guy who got the Raiders to 8-8 makes really no sense considering it was Jackson's first year. It's the Oakland Raiders and they have always been dysfunctional and it looks like that will continue into the future.

Walgreens Prescription Savings Club Helping Customers Out Of A Tough Situation

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

Sometimes customers are put in a tough situation, and finding the best solution is not always easy. This is where many Walgreens customers find themselves with the Express Scripts program right now. Express Scripts program acts as an intermediary between the pharmacy and providing health care service for employers and health plans who pay for medications. Walgreens and Express Script has tried to negotiate a new contract, but no deal could be reached. This means as of Jan 1, 2012 Walgreens no longer was a part of the Express Scripts pharmacy provider network. This has displaced many patients whom now must find another provider if they are part of the Express Scripts program.

This changed has affected many Walgreens customers and they are scrambling to figure out what to do. Many people are being forced to travel longer distances now to get their prescriptions filled. Others are losing a pharmacist that they have known for many years. Even the American Military could be put in the middle of Express Scripts changes and Walgreens tried to work out a deal with Express Scripts, but it was rejected.

With all the changes, Walgreens has stepped forward to help Express Scripts program customers. They have introduced the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club at a special discount on an annual membership. For $10 a year, a family membership covers everyone in your immediate family, including spouse and dependents 22 and younger. If you are an individual, it will only cost you $5.00. By joining today, you can get it at a great price and get discount prices on prescriptions. Discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, and other medications as well are some benefits you will enjoy. Readers should show support of Walgreens on Facebook and follow Walgreens on Twitter. It is great that a company is stepping forward to help their customers when a problem arises.

Barry Larkin Rides Glove Into Cooperstown

Barry Larkin was a natural at shortstop. He had the range, and could make hard plays look routine. Barry also was an excellent hitter as well helping the Cincinnati Reds to the 1990 World Series. Larkin numbers were also very good as a hitter. He hit .295 with 198 home runs, 960 RBIs, 2,340 hits and 379 stolen bases. A 12-time All-Star, he won the 1995 NL MVP award, three Gold Gloves and the 1990 World Series. Larkin deserves his spot in Cooperstown. The finally vote tally is listed below.

Final AP College Football Poll 1-10-2012

Well the final AP College Football Poll is out until the summer, but in the end it has some interesting things to look at. Now we all know Alabama is No.1 I think they proved that to everyone in the country without a doubt. Number two though could be debated for some time to come. Some people feel LSU does not belong, but I think they do. With what they have accomplished they should be two. Oklahoma State should be three and my only beef is South Carolina. I think they should have been higher ranked.
