Morning Cup Of Joe

April 2nd, 2026

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

Is Sean Payton quietly trying to lure Aaron Rodgers to Denver? [PFT]

NFL must have lifted its ban on good teams appearing on “Hard Knocks.” [CBS]

Since the move to Las Vegas, the Raiders are now worth over $10 billion. [Yahoo!]

How well does Fernando Mendoza fit in Klint Kubiak’s offense? [NFL]

What’s it like being on a commercial jet when an engine ignites in fire upon takeoff? [TikTok]

Puka checks into rehab. [California Post]

Is Jalen Hurts a cancer? [BSPN]

Kirk Cousins is an ideal Raiders bridge quarterback from Geno Smith to Fernando Mendoza. [SI]

It appears Justin Herbert really did upgrade from Taylor Bisciotti, as steep a curve as that may be to master. Well done. [California Post]

“This Joe” gave up on statgeek ball about five years ago (Joe loves baseball, but not statgeek ball — Joe didn’t give up on MLB; MLB gave up on him). But apparently being an MLB fan is a pain in the arse nowadays. (Joe has tons of college football and NFL games saved from last year to watch to guide him from the sports desert that reaches from the Final Four to football season. There will be a couple of NASCAR races in between to get Joe to the finish line of Labor Day weekend.) [Awful Announcing]

The Peters twins are… [Instagram]

Crane vs. gator. [TikTok]
