Morning Cup Of Joe
December 16th, 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.
Yet another NFL player has home broken into while he was playing. [PFT]

Pete Carroll thinks his job is safe. [Yahoo!]
What we learned from Sunday’s games. [NFL]
“Gift not included.” [TikTok]
Jets can defensive coordinator Steve Wilks with three games left. Gotta play for the draft, man. [New York Post]
Forget the tremendous final play that won the game for Lake Mary in the Florida state title game. It seems Vero Beach coach set his kids up to fail on the previous possession, setting the table for a comeback and blowing a state championship. Sound familiar? [Outkick]
Indirect benefit for Philip Rivers returning to the NFL since he apparently can’t wrap up. [Front Office Sports]
NFL worried about prediction markets. Of course they are. Remember how the NFL screamed about gambling until they put a franchise in Las Vegas and started sleeping with sportsbooks? Almost overnight, gambling became kosher. Soon as the NFL is able to bank coin from prediction markets, then it will all be cool. [Awful Announcing]
That weirdo Cornhuskers quarterback who has a “Single White Female” complex over Pat Mahomes looking to bolt Nebraska and the legendary Matt Rhule. He’s talented but someone needs to tell him he ain’t no Mahomes. [On3]
Naked doctor found in Miami Dollar Tree freezer. [CBS News]
Dems sum gud drugs mom. [TikTok]

Kay is right on. What did happen in that locker room? Whatever it was, it’s magical and can we have some too. About Josh throwing up weekly. Sounds like nerves, hopefully, and certainly he has had some tests done.
Jets DC Wilks fired with three games left. Ya, it smelled like coaching for a draft pick now. Pretty sad and lets down the team. Who does that!…
NFL takeaways – Panthers are going to want this game badly on Sunday. The Bucs need to come in and stay bold throughout. Dallas almost got there, and then didn’t. Looks like Purdy is back strong. Seahawks survived. So much going on and we need that locker room magic that the Bills had. Go Bucs!

Jets-I wish Bowles would man up and fire his DC.

The Buc season is almost over.
Is Gruden an option?

Did a marketing man just get a bonus or is that just a creator getting my like button going? Thanks either way Joe!
Go Bucs!
