May 9th, 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.
Do Commandos fans really want a new stadium? [PFT]
Rams to hold mandatory minicamp in Hawaii. That’s one way to get players to show up. Does this mean Team Glazer may allow the Bucs to hold minicamp in the Bahamas? There is a bowl game played there each year. [CBS]
Arch Manning isn’t a blue chip draft prospect. Yet. [Yahoo!]
Stinking Panthers running back Jonathan Brooks out for the year. [NFL]
The Chargers game in Brazil (opponent to be announced next week) on Friday night of opening weekend is expected to be broadcast globally on YouTube. Not YouTubeTV, but regular YouTube. And get this: The game will be streamed free of charge. Nada. Zilch. Nichts. Wala. ไม่มีอะไร. 沒有什麼. Nihil. 何もない. Rein. 아무것도 아님. Thank you, Roger Goodell. Now let teams use the Oklahoma drill. [The Athletic]
Josh Jacobs describes the time he stood up to Nick Saban. [TikTok]
Drama! Intrigue! Controversy! Raiders general manager John Spytek claims Tom Brady very much was involved in Las Vegas’ draft. Brady tells Logan Paul he had nothing to do with the draft. [Front Office Sports]
Tom Brady scores a legal victory. [Outkick]
Chris “Mad Dog” Russo: Potty mouth! [Awful Announcing]
The self-anointed Disney social warriors seem strangely quiet over this. Weird. [Washington Times]
Git it. Go’on, git it! [TikTok]
"Congratulations to the Cowboys. I'm sure it looks good on paper as it always does. … They're going to go back to teasing us into believing that they're relevant."

“If it were court, Jalen Hurts would be convicted of being a Top 5 QB. The evidence is overwhelming that he’s Top 5.”

Disney
Dont’t think Disney will be holding any gay pride week stuff in Aby dabo Joe.
Coworker told me he went with his family to Disney World Orlando during the annual gay pride event and was almost arrested. He is fom South Alabama and well… lets just say he speaks his mind.
Go Bucs!

——————————————————————–
Don’t know what JimBobBuc means. What I do know is tariffs must be working. The new Pope was Made in America.

I don’t know who organized the Cup of Joe this morning but the word “Commandos” suggests Joe has been kidnapped and replaced.

Ddddaaaa Pope is a White Sox fan. If a Cubs fan became pope, “this Joe” would have to excommunicate himself from his catholic upbringing.

Man, Florio can be such an a$$ sometimes with his non-football commentary. Per Florio, “While I won’t pretend to be an expert on polling (or, basically, anything), the Post is the same publication that, in 2016, published a poll in which 90 percent of Native Americans supposedly weren’t offended by the dictionary-defined slur of a name that was abandoned only four years later. That poll was widely criticized and scrutinized.”
It’s funny how polls work (or don’t work) for some people. Which is it, Mike? Was the Washington Post lying back then? Was the Washington Post lying when Hillary Clinton was ahead of Donald Trump in the polls, or did you agree with them on that one? Was every Native American lying about the name? Was 2016 just a bad year for the Post?

Disney isn’t spending a dime on that new theme park, they are basically selling their branding rights and collecting royalties much like Disney Japan. That’s a big win to ignore a countries sharia law.

In case you didn’t get my dumb joke, let me reassure you that the entire premise of the joke is wrong and I’m embarrassed by my comedic flub.
I hear so few people call them the Commanders that I was thinking Commandos was their real name and Joe used their real name. I’ll see myself out.

The only time I listen to Stephen A is when he is talking Cowboys, then he is too funny.
May 9th, 2025 at 11:00 am
Git it: Good boy!! And people thinks dogs aren’t intelligent.

It is a shame Stephen A feels the need to be theatrical and scream because he does make good points SOMETIMES.
Disney is full of hypocrisy. Still went constantly with my kids when they were little though
I am interested to see Arch manning for the full year. He showed A LOT of promise.
