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.

Looks like AR15’s wishes to get traded will be granted by Colts. [NFL]

Seven worst performances in the history of the combine. [BroBible]
Here are 10 candidates to replace Father Dungy on NBC. [SI]
B1G, SEC do not like the idea that all Division-1 teams should pool their TV revenue equally. Of course they don’t want this! Nor should they. Why the hell should Toledo or Utah State or Wake Forest or Rice get the same TV revenue share as Ohio State or Alabama or Texas or USC? That’s ridiculous. [Front Office Sports]
Memo to college football coaches. Fans, the same people buying tickets, gear, luxury suites and funding your obscene NILs hate how yu are pulling out of big-time non-conference games for cupcake city games. Basketball is nearly doubling non-conference big-time games while football is going the opposite direction. Sometimes, football coaches can be so dumb. Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes, Barry Switzer, John McKay, Nick Saban and Lou Holtz would be outraged how badly football coaches have turned into [female genitalia]. Bravo to the college basketball coaches! [Awful Announcing]
Dog doesn’t like toilet paper. (Or, dog freaked out by ceiling fans. [TikTok]

It would be nice if one of our Todd’s was a Monken.

Todd Monken has not a clue the true depths of despair. He will have a much greater understanding of those depths in the not too distant future. And he’s a great guy. And I’ll want to turn my head away, and not stare. But I won’t be able to help myself.

The Bucs report card was bruuuuuuutal. Ironically three of the best marks were GM, Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator. (Sorry guys). The home field got terrible marks, could that be because of attendance or because the Bulls tear up the grass on Saturdays. Family treatment again amongst the worst, I don’t get that one as management and ownership put so much into picking character type players. Are the players so cheap they won’t pay for daycare? I spent about 20% of my income (20 years ago) on daycare.

NFLPA’s report cards
Do they ask players to grade Roger’s Refs? I think Goedeke would love to vote. LOL
Seven worst performances
Really makes me wonder why they dont just give the dudes a really good physical and an interview and pack it up. Combine seeems to mean very little. Especially now that players opt out of lots of the drills.
Go Bucs!
