Morning Cup Of Joe
November 3rd, 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.
Happy belated birthday Pro Football Talk! You changed the NFL game for all of us! For the better! [PFT]
Slimy Saints going to draft another quarterback in April? Ah-hahahahahahahahaha! [CBS]
Brian Schottenheimer has an unwelcome owl in his house. [Yahoo!]
Squirrely Miami coach Mike McDaniel understands why Dolphins fans are peeved. [NFL]
Football player pinched on the field in uniform after a hassle in a game. [TikTok]
Former Pro Bowl tight end and long-time NBC NFL and golf analyst Bob Trumpy passed. For his time, he was very outspoken. Had to have driven NBC suits nuts. Really good announcer. He had that deep nicotine voice. Played for Paul Brown and Bill Walsh. Worked alongside, among others, Dick Enberg, Charlie Jones, Don Criqui and a young Bob Costas. He was 80. [Bengals]
How did Joe miss this??? It had to be during training camp when a nuclear bomb could go off in Colorado and Joe would never know it. Apparently a couple of months ago, Michelle Obama and screamin’ Stephen A. Smith got into a p!ssing match. No, really! Obama claimed watching “Last Take” is like watching “Real Housewives of Atlanta.” LOL And this apparently got SAS heated. LOL #Merica [Yahoo!]
NFL Mailbag! [Too Deep Zone]
This Disney dispute with Google/YouTubeTV reeks of anti-trust violations. Disney wants people to leave YouTubeTV for Hulu, which they own. Or Fubo, which they own. Or a sports bundle they have with FOX, which they own half of. Or their standalone app, which they own. This is something you’d expect from the Five Families. [Deadline]
F’ Disney! [X]
Cool! South Carolina convict chooses death by firing squad. Going old school. [WFTS]
“Bang!” [TikTok]
While it is football season, college basketball is right around the corner and we got a SWEET box!@RacersHoops kicks off their season TOMORROW and we here at the FFCA wanted to say good luck!
Thank you Coach Miller and Go Racers! (No idea who that guy at the beginning was) pic.twitter.com/fuLMqBwLte

Streaming is the new cable now, except more complicated and more accounts.

McDaniels is definitely feeling the pressure now. Watched the Colleen Wolf’s video, and she is right on point about wellness. Also showed McDaniels frustration on the sideline now too. He’s been a good coach for more than a minute, not all his fault, but unfortunately I could see them letting him go at the end of the season.
Fully agree with Michelle! Stephen A is definitely his own reality show. Excellent article by Mike Florio.
So over these streaming disputes on our dime. Monopolies. Can’t get ABC on YouTube TV now but my bill is paid. Just like insurances. Always saying they are in agreements and you may not be covered as the costs are taken out of your pay. No oversight and things are getting much worse.

The only think to ever come out of Michelle Obama’s mouth I could agree with.
Trumpy was great, sorry to hear that.
A 2 finger salute to ALL the streaming services.
That dog is hilarious. Hear his whimper at the end? Too funny

F’ them all. It’s why I pay for “other” streaming services and I’ve pretty much stop paying for all corporate services. Streaming has become Cable 2.0 and it’s more expensive than what cable was. It’s also worse.

Error 404 is a distraction? From what?

I have fiber for internet that provides more bandwidth than my computer can even see, let alone use, at a lower price than cable wanted to sell me about 1% of that service. Between that, my antenna, and the short drive to Hooters… I’m set.

I think that guy was Gruden’s son.
