Morning Cup Of Joe
November 1st, 2024
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.
Happy 23rd birthday Pro Football Talk! Mike Florio, the creator, curator and overall guru of the site, is a pioneer of NFL coverage. Florio arrived on the scene before NFL Network, before FS1. He was one of the first independent football sites to devote 24/7/365 coverage to the NFL. Before that, you had to hope your local sports radio station talked football in the offseason (buried among baseball and hockey chatter) or maybe pine for a vanilla, no-analysis morsel in your local Sunday fishwrap, a medium now is on the cusp of extinction. Joe firmly and sincerely believes PFT helped launch football chatter year-round with intelligent, thought-provoking, daily analysis. Florio’s model also sparked many other football sites both local and national. Before Florio launched PFT, you were pretty much forced to consume sports content dictated by the calendar, not what fans may have wanted or desired. Saluto! Prost! [Pro Football Talk]

What the league wants is the same thing that the MSM and big pharma want. They want to stigmatize nicotine for a very good reason.
Nicotine is not what makes smokers get sick. It is the rest of the chemicals added to the tobacco and the paper that makes smokers sick. Nicotine is actually a nutrient that is in many plants, including tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, and peppers, as well as tobacco.
The dirty little secret is that nicotine binds to Ace2 cellular receptors, which is the same pathway that coronavirus attacks. Nicotine is medicinal.

“Dodgers fan… has fireworks blow up in his hands.”

Video on Twitter is gone. There were two angles I watched on Telegram, and the guy was lighting a fuse that was just a little quarter-inch nub for some reason. Not real smart.

Video is not gone. Just clicked on it. Working for Joe.

Once upon a time, I worked in a local trauma center’s ER. We got a guy who did the same thing. Man, it was brutal. A terrible injury. It was one of those injuries that everyone had to casually check out. I saw it because it was my job to be in the trauma room for all the trauma alerts. Others came in just to check it out. And I mean everyone from the housekeeper to the doctors and everyone in between. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a disruptive crowd or anything, people just quietly came in, had a look, and left. I can still see that hand, vividly 20 years later.

Joe likes fireworks but your example Willie is why Joe leaves it to the professionals.

When Florio was just starting out he did The Big Dogs show every Friday, he was grinding and growing his brand and did a bunch of sport talk radio shows around the country. As he got bigger and bigger he dropped all of them except for Dumeig, I remember him telling Steve “you’re the last guy I still do this for, for free.” I don’t follow him anymore for various reasons but that was cool and you can’t deny the guys success.

One thing Wile E. Coyote taught me was to NEVER light fireworks in your hands. Bette yet, let someone else light it.

What Hunter forgot to mention is that nicotine is also extraordinarily addictive.

While Jones is not wrong about AR, he needs to teach Richardson how to take plays off while on the field like he did.

I echo your sentiments, Joe. Florio’s politics aside, PFT is great!
November 1st, 2024 at 7:54 pm
I don’t care for Florio at all but there is no denying what he’s pioneered. If he had any influence on Joe becoming Joe, and it seems he has, I appreciate him.
