Morning Cup Of Joe
January 10th, 2025
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.
Micah Parsons: Cowboys will win it all next season. [PFT]
Confidence meter for quarterbacks this weekend. [CBS]
Top five injuries for wild card weekend. [Yahoo!]
Reasons to watch each playoff game this weekend. Really? Like people really have to have a reason to watch playoff football? It’s football, damn it! In a month we’re going to have to start pretending to like college basketball for two months and you’re suggesting people have to have a reason to watch playoff football??? [NFL]
This had to be the stupidest rule football ever had. Football isn’t golf. Don’t want loud fans? Then play in a closed high school field. This rule, now long gone thankfully, still grates at Joe. [TikTok]
Ohio State fans mistakenly (?) end up at the Orange Bowl instead of the Cotton Bowl. Weird. [Outkick]
Joe liked Lee Corso as much as the next guy but we all have a shelf life. It’s time, man. It’s time. Sad that Disney has to roll this guy out there for five minutes each week — when he’s able to make a trip. And it’s past the point of cringy. [Awful Announcing]
Who is really winning the college football playoffs? [Front Office Sports]
Most and least successful sports cities in America. [Sportico]
See what you get for having good table manners? [TikTok]

Reasons to watch each playoff game
Nope they have successfully ruined the entire game of basketball and are making college sports in general…unwatchable to this dude, who at one time loved it. Sad Joe…Just sad.
Go Bucs!

Joe liked Lee Corso
Funny Joe
Pat Mc ass hat drives me nuts. But since I am just a skinny hair away from tuning out of college sports anyway …
Go Bucs!

Jose is being a little self-referential with his distraction link today. This is the playoffs and it is a time to stay focused. Football only, no distractions!

Agreed – the crowd noise and “quiet down”. DUMBEST rule ever!
January 10th, 2025 at 6:53 am
Yea sad..Lee almost fell down last night whilst dancing his cringe worth Irish jig. Just sad.

Sorry, but if the NFL is going to force southern teams to start the season with 4PM games (to save the visitors from the heat), then dictating crowd noise is also on the table.

QB confidence meter – Disappointed with Sullivan’s take. Baker should have been in the “Confidence level: Can hoist a Lombardi Trophy.” Not the last one.
The Golden Retriever cracked me up with the food while the Shepard gently ate. Good video.
