Morning Cup Of Joe
July 6th, 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.
The Missouri attorney general launches investigation into alleged improprieties connected with Matt Miller’s various fantasy football leagues and scouting seminars that were said to be charity fundraisers. [PFT]
NFL’s greatest trades. [CBS]
WTF Netflix!!! Replacing Kay Adams on NFL pregame studio shows for… Elle Duncan??? Do you not want subscribers??? At least you could have gotten former Miss Florida and Miss St. Petersburg, Laura Rutledge. Or even Maria Taylor. smh What the hell is wrong with people? #MAJORFAIL! [Yahoo!]
Caleb Williams says he loves his haters. [NFL]
WWE “caught” using sound effects technicians who set up shop under the ring. [TikTok]

Joe might have to make another trip to Sarasota soon. What a great town for food and drink. Der Dutchman named No. 2 buffet in America. Between that place, Yoder’s (and their pies), Alpine Steakhouse (turducken on the menu daily) and Sun King Brewery (Osiris Pale Ale!), Sarasota is WAY underrated for grub and libations. [WFLA]
Ornery. [TikTok]

If you’ve ever been to a WWE event, the ring is very clearly mic-ed up. This isn’t exactly breaking news…

“Mexican kickball fans got way too handsy with TV reporter.” I’ve never heard of Peyton Headlee but dang…she seems like the kinda gal that Lt. Dan could hang out with and drink beer from a can with all day.

If baseball were 7 innings…
Miami Marlins pitcher Eury Perez threw a perfect game through 7 innings yesterday and Marlins led A’s 8-0.
Then the Marlins Manager took Perez out of the game because of previous injury concerns (A PERFECT GAME !!!)
The Marlins’ bullpen imploded as they hung on to win 9-8 while the A’s fans chanted “Shame! Shame! Shame!” at the Marlins dugout.

The Mexican soccer fans were happy when that video was taken but they’re not so happy right now.
Three Lions move onward… Mexico? Not so much.

The NFL should call the WWE and ask them how they make their rigged matches look more realistic than the NFLs rigged matches.

Alan:
That is positively shameful. But, that’s statgeek ball in the 21st century. smh

WWE is staged, So it ain’t so!!!

Gonna guess there are several folks (like Joe) who have never been to a WWE event. So therefore, yes, it would be news to many (including Joe).

Faking someone yelling for help is over the line and not funny. I enjoy good humor. That’s not it. Go Bucs!!

Joe – I’m actually shocked you’ve never been to a WWE event.
