Morning Cup Of Joe
February 13th, 2025
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.
James Cook wants $15 million a year. You mean like the Bills can’t miss the Super Bowl without him? [PFT]
New slimy Saints coach Kellen Moore wants statgeek Brandon Staley as his defensive coordinator. Yes, please. Best news Joe heard all day. [CBS]
Colossal NFL bust Kadarius Toney pinched for strangling a woman in Georgia (allegedly). Not only was this clown a bust, he’s about to be a convict, too (allegedly). [Yahoo!]
Travis Kelce said he’s going to take some time before he makes a call on retiring or not. Gee, let’s see: Sleeping in on a breezy July weekday morning with your billionaire girlfriend at her Bahamas waterfront bungalow or getting up at 5 a.m. to go get beat on by Chris Davis and Nick Bolton on a 95-degree morning in St. Joseph, Mo. Tough call. Based on this play it seems like he already has made up his mind. [NFL]
This guy is hating life this week. [TikTok]
Joe is told “Hard Knocks: Offseason” was pretty good. So naturally it looks like it won’t be done again. [Awful Announcing]
Kay Adams corners Cris Collinsworth, who owns the PFF Tribe, how is it that his clowns “graded” Jalen Hurts as the 24th-best quarterback yet he was still able to win the Super Bowl. Good job, Kay! You just showed more guts to ask that question than 98 percent of the NFL talking heads have ever demonstrated (like all the FOX guys on the halftime set who were too scared to say the Super Bowl was over at half). Most talking heads just suck up to their guests hoping they return. Not only is this woman hot and knows football, she has guts to call a spade a spade when most would call it a shovel. Perfect. [X]
Leather-wearing Dianna Russini claims the Jets went up to drama queen Aaron Rodgers with a list of demands he had to agree to if he wanted to play for them in 2025. One was no more Pat McAfee appearances. Though Russini didn’t say Rodgers told Aaron Glenn and the Jets to go eff themselves, Rodgers isn’t returning to the Jets. Draw your own conclusion. [Awful Announcing]
Documents surface that North Carolina has been building a war chest to pay off the costs of ACC exit fees so they can bolt the conference. Also, emails show that one North Carolina shot-caller bragged the Tar Heels would rather see Florida State and Clemson pay all the legal bills in order to find a way out of the ACC first and then North Carolina will blow through the hole like Bucky Irving exploiting green grass between Cody Mauch and Luke Goedeke. Joe is guessing that’s why North Carolina is such a respected institute of higher learning. [The Athletic]
Two Virginia gunmen show up to rob a house. Homeowner steals their getaway rig. Cops busted one of the lowlifes as he dropped his rod and tried to make a run for it. Dirtbag was sentenced to 22 years in the hole. [WAVY]
Jenna Berman demonstrates the art of “product placement.” If she ain’t careful, she’ll outdo Giada. [Instagram]
Jackie the Jokeman is still alive! [TikTok]

Didn’t see that play live, but wow what a crap effort from Kelce. I’d say he’s done. Hes distracted for sure and he’ll have plenty of opportunities for other things.
The hard knocks off-season was terrible. I think the GM for new York is pretty decent. The whole Saquon thing made him and everyone in that organization look like female dogs. They looked awful. No nfl team wants to look bad, and I know they do a lot to prevent it. That being said with what was thrown out there… Just, yikes. No nfl team will sign up for that kind of embarrassment.

Scott Wurster-Ohio-Wow, a great way to start your day! Jenna can whip me up anything she wants to and make it so much better than my disgusting wife! Scott Wurster-Ohio

UNC is like one of the friends of the hot girl at the bar. They think they’re something bc they get attention by association with their hot friends Clemson and FSU, but the reality is they’re a nothing special 5.5/10. Who actually wants UNC? Billy B ain’t exactly crushing the recruiting trail, and that stadium pulls bigger crowds for exhibition futbol than it does real football. It’d be like having another South Carolina in the SEC or an Indiana in the B1G.

Collinsworth looks a bit long in the tooth, he is starting to look like an old tortoise like that ancient senator from Kentucky, especially when you see him side by side with the lovely Kay Adams. Props to her for holding him accountable for his platform.

Annie!!
Did I just hear that guy dropped 11,500 to win 10,000? Not a good return, even if it did return, which I did not LOL

That gambling video was kinda sad. I think legalizing it was a mistake. It’s not good for our young men.
