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

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]

“Terrion Arnold… Play stupid games, win stupid prizes and you’re about to win the biggest, dumbest prize that a human can win. Congratulations.”
