Morning Cup Of Joe
January 14th, 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.
We live in a football world. Once people start to embrace this, the better we will be as a people. [PFT]
Is Justin Herbert a choke artist? [CBS]
Five coaches who could replace Mike Tomlin. [Yahoo!]
Kevin O’Connell fed up with J.J. McCarthy already? [NFL]
There’s no way that’s a full barrel of Buffalo Trace. [TikTok]
Tom Brady believes we’ve grown too soft as a society. [Outkick]
The dark days of a hostile takeover may come sooner than expected. Now, only the feds, it appears, can save NFL Network. [Awful Announcing]
NFL pregame shows have become, over the past few decades, one of the greatest wastes of electricity known to the free world. CBS has a chance to rethink and remake these boring arse shows now that Matty Ice is bolting. Will CBS do so? Or are we going to get the same ol’ crap like mindless pap-like feature stories, bellylaughs from lame, vapid inside (?) jokes from the panel for bumper music and straight-up picks based on the panels’ guts? [Front Office Sports]
Fun at the sports bar. [X]
“The vet.” [TikTok]

Annie is always hilarious. “What film room!” Too funny.
Kay is right on about Kyle. Only my opinion; he could be Coach of the Year and I am not a 49ers fan.
Good article about what Brady said re: soft society. He made a good point; social media. Agree with that. The thing is that for years in the workforce you have people not doing their jobs-slacking, but the overseer blankets it and addresses everyone instead of the individual(s) at fault. That is soft, and has been going on for years and is not new with any generation. Could be happening on NFL teams too. One thing about Brady, he is straightforward and team-mates knew what they needed to do.

Buffalo Trace
LOL…Heard that the wives just filed missing persons reports.
Brady
He and heyjude nailed it! I had several bosses who would not address the pertinent individuals and instead left a room full of mostly hardworking individuals miffed and or confused. Can’t tell you how many loafers I inherited duties from as well. Led to me transfering out of a position I once loved. Retired now and glad to be busy with…nothing LoL
Go Bucs!
