Morning Cup Of Joe
September 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.
Dean Blandino blasts the Tush Push. [PFT]
Daniel Jones (!) has the Colts’ offense playing at a historic clip. [CBS]
Winners and losers from Week 2. [Yahoo!]
Aaron Pryor vs. Alexis Argüello. [TikTok]
Did the NFL hose Sunday Ticket subscribers on Sunday? [Awful Announcing]
“Sloppy Rematches, Silly Rivalries and Sweet Revenge” [Too Deep Zone]
Questions raised around the NFL. [Between the Hashmarks]
The “SCORE Act” is wrongheaded. If you want to control movement and temper transfers in college sports, allow the players to collectively bargain. That way schools can establish rules about both pay and transfer limits. Why is it a drunk in a bar can figure this out but college eggheads cannot? Works for the NFL and every other pro league. It will work for colleges, too. In short, the SCORE Act is anti-capitalism. [Front Office Sports]
Has TikTok been saved for good? Finally? (The only people who don’t want TikTok saved are the same folks who have read too many Tom Clancy books, clip their beepers to their belts, still use rotary phones, subscribe to the physical version of newspapers and watch “Gunsmoke” on their VCRs after viewing the “CBS Evening News.”) [CNN]
So you wanted a hot pepper, eh? [TikTok]

Tiktok to be purchased by Larry Ellison? Not sure I would celebrate that.

How about that Daniel Jones, Joe!? I tried to tell you he was a good qb just on a bad team with a poor scheme, and no decent receivers or O-line to boot.

Love the Gruden rant. Love it. Listen if you haven’t.

I remember watching those 2 Pryor Arguello fights, they were classics. Also a lot of class by both guys which seems to be missing today across sports with everyone thumping their chest and the “look at me” syndrome.

nobody cares when a biology or history major transfers colleges two or three times over their time in college- unless you restrict all kids from transferring you can’t just single out athletes
Let college kids transfer when they want whenever they want- only the truly great players will get huge NIL deals If schools and boosters want to overpay they will soon learn to real it in Let the free market work itself out
