Morning Cup Of Joe Friday

May 1st, 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

No, Mike Florio did not order Chris Simms to stay silent about Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel. [PFT]

Power rankings! [CBS]

Drake Maye has Mike Vrabel’s back. [Yahoo!]

Day 3 picks that could compete for a starting gig. [Yahoo!]

Because the dude with a lasso is a coward, the bullrider got ripped up by the bull. [TikTok]

Diana Russini may not have saved a driver and a dog in an accident last week as previously reported. [New York Post]

Ben Roethlisberger not a huge fan of Steelers drafting Drew Allar. Ya’ think? It’s going to take at least three years to work the Franklin out of him. Per Bruce Feldman, the best NFL quarterbacks who were five-star quarterbacks coming out of high school and sucked in college are Davis Mills and Kyle Allen. So that’s Allar’s ceiling. What a friggin’ waste of a draft pick. [SI]

Tim Cook and Matt Zuckerberg are reportedly the two leading candidates to buy the Seahawks. Joe had read earlier this week that former Microsoft big shot Steve Ballmer was a leading candidate. Apparently, some tech dude is going to own the team. [Front Office Sports]

Shilo Sanders doesn’t like honest critique about his brother. [Awful Announcing]

Miller Lite is doing laps around Bud Light when it comes to marketing to beer-guzzling dudes. (If Joe had to choose between not drinking and Miller Lite, Joe would be stone cold sober.) [Outkick]

Whoops. [X]

Hog in the building. [TikTok]
