Morning Cup Of Joe
July 24th, 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.
Thanks to the Packers, we know the NFL made a lot of money last year. A *lot* of money. Billions. Which makes it all the more frustrating what the NFL did and is doing to NFL Network. Just a crying shame, man. [PFT]

Dolphins had to airlift a lineman to the hospital yesterday. [Yahoo!]
Veterans who could lose their jobs this summer. Sorry Bucs fans, Jamel Dean didn’t make the list. [NFL]
When KISS saved a Michigan high school football team’s season. No, this isn’t some dumb Brady Bunch-like sitcom episode that Gene Simmons hatched. [TikTok]
Naked Florida Man freaks out after being asked to leave a Planet Fitness in Fort Myers. Crawls up into ceiling. Tries to light facility on fire. Hides from cops in tanning bed. The last trick may have been a bit painful given his (ahem) attire. (Fun time-waster: Go ahead and Google “Florida Man” with your birthdate. Nothing else. Watch what pops up.) [WINK]
The Cavinder Twins had enhancements recently (the procedures discreetly documented on their social media feeds). And, the Cavinder Twins are beginning to let the puppies out for a walk to become familiar with their new world. “New [racks] ahead of a new football season. There’s some poetry in that for sure.” [Outkick]
“Expanded” “First Things First” doesn’t seem all that great, especially with this ensemble. [Front Office Sports]
NBC is looking to launch a sports cable channel. Um, wasn’t this once called “NBC Sports Network?” [Wall Street Journal]
“Mistake by the Lake,” indeed! [Barstool Sports]
Hogs. [TikTok]

Ehh Cam may have the stats and pedigree, but clearly that play is living in his head rent free. Just like 28-3. Honestly really glad we don’t have anything embarrassing as a franchise. I mean only thing is Brady not realizing that the game is over in Chi, but we won’t it all that year so 🤷♂️.

Cam Newton can compare stats all day long. There is no shame in being born less talented. There is shame in being a coward afraid to jump on a fumble.
Why did he even bring it up?
July 24th, 2025 at 6:33 am
He brought it up, because that’s how he gets provoked. Almost like Eminem bringing up the self disses at the end of 8 Mile. Apparently Clark “poked the bear”

Imagine being a Browns fan. Good Lord.

Dolphins airlifting player. Very scary, “Occurred during an accidental collision with a teammate late in practice.”
Veterans that could lose their starting roles. Thank you for the read. I was surprised on their choice from the Bills.

NFL Network
That folks is a very bad look for Roger and the league. Can you say out of touch with the fans? Stupid!
Go Bucs!

KISS: VERY cool story. Back then (70’s) KISS was ultra popular! For them to take as much time as they did with that high school and that town is just amazing. Much respect!

I remember when KISS did that, very cool.
I don’t subscribe to the theory that if you’ve seen 1 pair of breasts you want to see them all. Almost. The whole world is narcissistic, or at least the bimbo’s, to think their boobs are a story. SMH

Remember that about KISS. Cool
Cleveland Browns starting off the season just like they finished.
And please, someone tell me what the infatuation is with the Cavender twins?
I don’t get it. There’s way better out there. They’re not that special. In fact their r desperate need for attention is a turn off.

I loved KISS when they started out. Even as a kid starting out on guitar I could learn an entire 40 minute album in about 2 minutes. No, I wasn’t exactly Jimi Hendrix. I don’t think those guys knew but 3 chords. If you you knew whose to play an A minor pentatonic scale and could do a unison bend you were all set.

I know my BUCS are workin’ hard! They’re worth a duece!

RIP Hulk Hogan. First Ozzy – now the Hulkster – Damn – rough week.
