Morning Cup Of Joe
May 12th, 2023
Welcome to your Morning Cup of Joe, an eye-opener to help Joe’s readers ease into their busy workday with a few football links, wacky news and a pleasant distraction.
Pat McAfee settles with Brett Favre. Joe smells BSPN lurking behind the scenes. [PFT]
So with the Gator Bowl being rebuilt, where are the Jags going to play for two years? That dump in Orlando? Gainesville? London? (Eeeeerrrrr) [CBS]
With whom would Skip Bayless replace Dak Prescott? [FOX Sports]
Jordan Love discusses playing behind drama queen Aaron Rodgers. [NFL]
Practice makes perfect. [Instagram]
With so many excellent quarterbacks expected to be available in next year’s draft, don’t be shocked if multiple teams are tanking this fall. [SI]
NFL season opener: Lions at Chiefs. Lions??? Really? You mean the playoff-less Lions? The Jared Goff-led Lions? The Lions??? What, did Joe miss the Lions bringing Barry Sanders out of mothballs? The Lions? Why? What, the Dixie Chicks weren’t available that night? #Yawn [Outkick]
Google/YouTube acquired NFL Sunday Ticket (the greatest invention since the remote) and have made it clear: They are going to war with cable TV. [Wall Street Journal]
Cavinder Twins have a beef with the NCAA? Why? These broads made millions thanks to playing basketball for Miami and it set up their careers for riches with the WWE and countless marketing opportunities. If they didn’t play for Miami, who the hell would have heard of them? There is a reason they left Fresno State. Talk about ungrateful. If not for the NCAA, these chicks would be working the cosmetics counter at a Walgreens in San Francisco watching the shoplifters clean house. [Bro Bible]
Ex-MLBers blast radio azzwipe in New York for claiming you don’t need evidence to see the Rays are cheating. [Awful Announcing]

Way to take a swipe at Orlando, Joe. I didnât know the NFL likes to hold Pro Bowls in dumps.
May 12th, 2023 at 7:07 am
Don’t throw shade on the Lions…..they just may kick our a$$…..
May 12th, 2023 at 7:15 am
Guess you didnât know about two years after the last Pro Bowl in Honolulu that stadium was condemned by the state?
May 12th, 2023 at 7:30 am
Cavinder Twins…uhh Who?
May 12th, 2023 at 7:33 am
When are we the people gonna start to hold these “media” asshats responsible?
May 12th, 2023 at 7:37 am
Lions are winning that division
May 12th, 2023 at 7:40 am
Camping World Stadium is hardly ready to be condemned and it has mostly positive reviews. Whatâs your beef with it?
May 12th, 2023 at 7:43 am
The lions had a top 5 offense and barely missed the playoffs. Comparing them to the falcons is ridiculous. The lions are probably gonna win their division this year.
May 12th, 2023 at 7:50 am
Lemme guess…..the Lions jump out to a large lead. This keeps people watching, then the Chiefs coming storming back in the 2nd half. Sound about right??

Forgive me for having no knowledge of this situation, and having no desire to waste my time investigating it. This is a question offered with respect to my conspiracy theory friends who have little to no trust in our governmental agencies.
Considering the political climate of Hawaii… Is it not possible that this is another instance of “Eminent Domain” being used to procure land to ‘Build Back Better’?

OR………?
Lions second year pass rusher (James Houston) gets by durable Donnie to put a crushing hit on Mahommie in the first quarter.
A gimpy Mahommie struggles through the rest of the game but pulls it out with a twenty yard hobbling dash for a touchdown in the closing seconds of the 4th quarter to win the game!

It’s a dump in a rotten neighborhood. There, Joe typed it. Not changing opinion just because someone is thin-skinned about Lakeland with a theme park with atrocious traffic planning.

Sunday ticket:
âThe math doesnât add up,â based on Sunday Ticketâs numbers under DirecTV, said Michael Nathanson, an analyst at MoffettNathanson.”
That’s like saying the car wont work based on horse carriage math. Directv is like that outlet store that still uses old IMB computers made during the Clinton administration and a monitor the size of a small car.

May 12th, 2023 at 8:12 am
Joe must be the only dude who likes DirecTV. Quality picture. Good choice of channels. Don’t often get in the middle of carriage disputes like most cable companies.
Joe doesn’t see a problem with DirecTV at all. No clue why folks hate it so. đ¤ˇââď¸ Gonna miss it going to YouTubeTV. đ
May 12th, 2023 at 8:15 am
Perhaps. The stadium in Honolulu was deemed unsafe and condemned for “structural issues.” As a result, the Rainbow Warriors were displaced for a couple of seasons. Think they had to use a high school field one year. The state is building a new stadium or is in the process of building a new stadium.
May 12th, 2023 at 8:18 am
Given the fact that major and medium media companies are bleeding red ink worse than Omaha Beach suggests people are doing just that.
May 12th, 2023 at 8:20 am
Itâs a dump in a rotten neighborhood.
*************************************************************
With all due respect to the good people who live in the area (and there are a few) this is a mostly factual statement.
May 12th, 2023 at 8:33 am
LOL
Canât believe someone is defending that stadium in Orlando. Iâve been there twice in the last several years, for the Rolling Stones and for Guns Nâ Roses⌠Itâs a cement block. It is atrocious.
Joe⌠Cavinder twins? I had no idea who they were either. I donât follow womenâs college sports and I donât watch a bunch of children on social media.
Yankees are in last place, just got blown out by the Rays, and naturally thier pseudo-reporters in New York are questioning the Rays LOL.
Never mind that theyâve been one of the best teams in baseball the last several years and have been to a World Series recently.
Typical NY ignorance.
Just root for your team in last place, complain about new regulations, new fees, and new taxes, but continue voting the way you always do and expect change, morons.
May 12th, 2023 at 8:38 am
Tennessee Titans media department, well done. That was hilarious. As for the stadium issue being bandied about above, I’m surprised so many are that interested. I thought that was the snippet that had less traction than almost any of the others.
May 12th, 2023 at 8:39 am
I thought I was going to miss Directv too, Joe. Maybe it’s my lifestyle because I watch most of my “television” on a desktop computer. YouTubeTV on a computer is the greatest invention since Sunday Ticket. It’s the most user friendly video service I’ve ever used. Keyboard shortcuts are a beautiful chef’s kiss.
May 12th, 2023 at 9:07 am
“claiming you donât need evidence to see the Rays are cheating”
Evidence of cheating? Who needs any of that? Where have we seen and heard of this “claiming you don’t need evidence in other areas of our Nation, just your feelings? NO evidence needed…
May 12th, 2023 at 9:08 am
It must be contagious, it is nation wide.
May 12th, 2023 at 9:23 am
I feel like I’m in bizarro world seeing people suggesting Camping World Stadium is a good stadium. I’ve only been there one time and that was for WrestleMania. It was horrible. It’s about as bad as FedEx Field.
I hope the Jaguars play in Tallahassee since I live up in this area now. I was planning on going to a Jaguars game. Hopefully it’ll be at Doak Campbell which is much better than Camping World Stadium.
May 12th, 2023 at 9:34 am
Camping World Stadium
Sorry, for us old timers it’s still the “T” bowl.
For that matter, it seems a few here would agree that that would be a better ‘current’ nickname!
May 12th, 2023 at 9:47 am
So your beef is really with the city and the location of the stadium. You donât like Orlando. Who does? Itâs been ruined. But calling the stadium a dump is disingenuous. And you appear to be the only thin skinned one in this conversation. Chill out before you pop a blood vessel.
May 12th, 2023 at 9:53 am
Thatâs funny. Iâve been thereâs for actual football games and had no complaints once inside the stadium. It got a $60M reno in 2021.
May 12th, 2023 at 10:06 am
Raymond James Stadium is in a great neighborhood.
I believe it’s gated.

May 12th, 2023 at 10:25 am
Itâs amazing how many posters jump the shark from sports to politics.
Ted Cruz should resign for his hypocrisy with Lovie Smith coaching Houston. And he was born in Canada. What are these moron Texans thinking?
May 12th, 2023 at 10:32 am
It’s election season in Jacksonville, and both mayoral candidates have vowed that they will do everything that they can to keep the Jags playing in Jacksonville while the stadium is being renovated (one called the idea a “non-starter”). Still, Shad Khaaaaaaaaaaaan has a way of getting his way every time. Two years seems to be around the time that his Four Seasons hotel project might be completed.
May 12th, 2023 at 11:12 am
The name the NFL team clip was extremely entertaining!!
May 12th, 2023 at 11:48 am
Jared Goff may break the Bobby Layne curse.
May 12th, 2023 at 2:12 pm
That stadium is about a mile from my house. I could take a walk there. The neighborhood is pretty bad, but I know to avoid the worst parts of it. The worst parts are pretty bad, though. Bums, prostitutes and drug houses. More ODs than actual murders, though.
May 12th, 2023 at 4:30 pm
You guys talking about the Citrus Bowl? LOL, it is a dump, though I def had some fun there back in my day. Def a little seedy around there, but just don’t be a dumb arse and you should be okay.
But yea, there’s a reason why UCF built their own stadium instead of continuing to play games there.
