Morning Cup Of Joe
June 29th, 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.
Trying to put the jigsaw puzzle together to figure out which coach sweet talked the cops out of giving Dianna Russini a ticket. Yes, it’s June. The beast must be fed. [PFT]
Why would Joey Bosa hang up his cleats if he still has some gas left in the tank at such a valuable position? [CBS]
Which failed coaches could still be useful coordinators? [Yahoo!]
Trying to figure out who wins the AFC West. [NFL]
That earthquake in Venezuela sure tore things up. [TikTok]
What can the NFL learn from the Kickball Cup? [SI]
When the Bills open their new stadium in September, O.J. Simpson’s name/number will no longer be in the team’s Wall of Fame. [WIBV]
What to make of NFL owners. [Too Deep Zone]
So let Joe get this straight: Lions corner Terrion Arnold (allegedly) had women bait dudes to a Largo apartment bedroom, who Arnold (allegedly) thought robbed him, and once the dudes were in the bedroom with the bait and the bait locked the doors, fake gangstas broke out of the closets flashing iron threatening to smoke the victims (only to instead to pistol-whip them) and one of Arnold’s hitmen (allegedly) FaceTimed the whole thing??? LOL Sounds like the Bucs may be able to unload a starting corner on Dan Campbell, no? This whole thing sounds like someone watched the clip of Christopher Moltisanti and Silvio Dante whacking Jimmy Altieri in “The Sopranos.” (Arnold claims he had $100,000 in cash lifted from his apartment, he told authorities. Who the eff keeps $100-large in his crib??? Joe doesn’t know what is dumber, leaving $100,000 in cash lying around the house or FaceTiming a felony.) [USA Today]
This is actually significantly more interesting and entertaining than that abortion of a show “Around the Horn” was, which is to say a test pattern had Joe’s attention more than that pompous waste of electricity was. [Awful Announcing]
Monty Python comes to life! [TikTok]

Just what starting corner would the Bucs unload on Campbell?
We don’t have any.

With you Jmarkbuc??? Not sure what Joe is talking about.

Someone hasn’t watched the Bucs in a couple of years if they don’t know who Joe is referring too. 🙁

Joe is talking about the starting corner who signed a fat contract but sometimes he gets “bored”.

What? Are we tanking this year? We need to sign a corner or two, not trade any away.
That said, I think Arnold has a bail hearing today. He stands to lose millions of dollars if he doesn’t get to report to camp. I don’t think he has any priors but these are serious charges. I’d say his odds are 50/50 of getting bail. Depends on the judge I guess. Judges name is Murphy, but I don’t know anything about him.

Campbell ain’t trading for Sleepy Zyon.
He already got one of our bored, oft injured “grave diggers”. 😏

Arnold
Yesterday it was disclosed that Arnold had $100,000 stolen and I thought like you Joe. What exactly was he gonna buy for that kind of cash? My guess would be that it was not for donation to his favorite charity and that the Feds will be talking to him soon. What a moron! Got the world by the tail an you ruin it with wanna be gangster thug stuff?
Go Grass!
Go Bucs!

If it is not obvious, I mean this as a tongue-in-cheek jest. I am not wanting to start a flame war.
As to what the NFL should learn from the kickball cup, seeing as how Trump still has a grudge about not being given an NFL team, the NFL may want to hold off on playing more games in other countries.
As the kickball cup has shown, just because a player leaves the US doesn’t mean they will get back in. Although, that might could be used to fix some of the referee problems.
I suppose that the NFL could take care of getting the players back into the country by finally giving Trump a team. The Dolphins maybe? Move them to Mar-a-Lago. Maybe call them Trump’s True Patriots?
It is probably for the best if no one prints this and hands it to him. I may have just destroyed the NFL. 😉

Just to be equal opportunity, I suppose that we could give Joe and team and call them the Delaware Dozers. 😉
