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.

Distraction of the Day

Art Rooney appears to love drama queen Aaron Rodgers. [PFT]

Top landing spots for Trey Hendrickson. [CBS]

How Cam Ward started a hassle in Titans practice. [Yahoo!]

Hype trains and smoke screens. [NFL]

Nice idea. Problem is, these bastard telemarketer calls are computer driven. Until the bot hears a voice, a human isn’t on the other line. [TikTok]

A look inside the NFL’s “Broadcast Boot Camp.” [Vanity Fair]

Coach O getting bored it seems. [Outkick]

Danny Kanell suspicious of BSPN’s college football rankings. [Awful Announcing]

Man, how much cash would have Johnny Football have pocketed with NIL? [Front Office Sports]

    The article with Johnny was right on. Wise words from him. “Hoping that universities are protecting the student athletes and the players are paying attention too.”

    We need a new game for Joe’s references to Johnny Football. Something like each reference requires Joe to take an obligatory visit to Gatorland in Orlando or watch a full episode of around the horn without the assistance of alcohol.

    One team should pick up Hendrickson and Parsons and be set for the playoffs.

    Broadcast Boot Camp
    They are failing miserably Joe…Anoyingly as well.

    Lizard
    Pretty sure that was from My neck of the woods Joe. Thailand is full of them. Like FL and those Gators Joe claims to have never seen. LOL. Had one in my pool about that size a few months ago…They get bigger…Yikes! Monitor lizards. “ihea” is the Thai word. Also a very bad curse word so be careful using it here. LOL

    Go Bucs!

    Saw a national ad last night while watching reruns of the Office. A Popeyes chicken commercial featuring our very own Baker Mayfield.

  6. KABucs Says:

    If a single team signed both Parsons and Hendrickson, their defensive pass rush be rough on any QB facing them. Cap space issues would ensue. Lots of money in one position. Would be hard to afford a true franchise QB.

    Love Gruden’s exuberance. I’d love to see him coach again but I don’t really want to see him coach for any team the Bucs have to play regularly. Maybe Miami?
    Maybe he or Coach O could coach USF or the Gators. LOL

    I totally hate robo calls too. Very annoying. I couldn’t actually watch the video because I won’t download Tic Toc. I’ve found an easy way to limit them to almost zero. If you look at your DND settings you can set it to only ring your phone for people in your contacts list. If it’s important they’ll leave a message. Very few spammers will leave a message. The ones that do..
    Just press 7. At least they’re not disturbing you. My wife refuses to do this because she is an idiot and she can’t even take a nap cuz her phone rings several times an hour.

    Yup I saw the Popeyes commercial with Baker last night too!

    Not sure how I feel about it. Historically, this team does terribly when people start praising us and the players buy into their own hype.
