Deion Sanders Gives Hilarious Advice to Shilo Sanders Around Son's Major Life Decision
Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images

While his time as the head coach for his sons, Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders, has come to an end at Colorado, Deion Sanders still has plenty of advice to offer up to his two sons now in the NFL.

Unlike his younger brother and quarterback Shedeur, who was selected in the fifth round of this year's draft by the Cleveland Browns, Shilo Sanders will carve out a path for himself in the NFL as an undrafted free agent. He recently signed a three-year deal worth $2.96 million with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Although he is focused on ca rving out a role for himself, Shilo Sanders also dabbles in content creation. In a recent video shared to his Instagram, Sanders asked his fans what age they think he should start having kids. While he didn't initially share any answers from the viewers, he did reveal what his father told him.

"What age do y'all think I should get started on my army," Sanders asked. "My dad told me to get a vasectomy."

After making that statement, Sanders revealed that a majority of the comments were telling him to start when he turns 30 years old. Sanders turned 25 in February, following what was his sixth season of college football, which saw him start his career at South Carolina before playing for his father at both Jackson State and Colorado.

It's unclear whether he's currently dating anyone, but it's evident that he's already looking ahead to the next stage of his life.

Five takeaways from college football's Week 0

Five takeaways from college football's Week 0

College football is back. The wacky, wild and unexpected that makes the sport so beloved was on full display Saturday with rainy weather, walk-off field goals and near-upsets welcoming fans back. Here are five takeaways from Week 0. Iowa State secured a major win Most college football programs haven't played a down yet, but No. 22 Iowa State has already secured a very important win. Five different teams have won the Big 12 in the last five seasons. Iowa State has been close during that stretch, but hasn't been one of the. Defeating rival No. 17 Kansas State, 24-21, to open the season is a big step forward, no matter how sloppy it was. It's Iowa State's fifth win in the last six Farmageddon meetings. In a wide-open Big 12 race, beating another challenger early in the year means something. The Dan Mullen era at UNLV got off to a rocky start The former Florida and Mississippi State head coach spent the last three seasons away from coaching, but he's returned to the sideline at UNLV. The Rebels needed all 60 minutes to hold off FCS Idaho State, 38-31, despite being favored by 25.5, according to DraftKings. It's not like Idaho State is an FCS juggernaut either. The Bengals have won just 10 games since 2021, but behind 555 yards of total offense they nearly pulled off the upset. UNLV's saving grace was four interceptions. It's just one game, but it showed there's work to do for Mullen. A short week of practice is in store ahead of a Friday matchup at Sam Houston State. Jalon Daniels made a statement Looking for a Heisman-worthy performance? Look no further than Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels. He was nearly flawless in the first half of KU's 31-7 win over Fresno State, going 13-for-15 for 145 yards and two touchdowns. He didn't need to finish the blowout and wound up with three total touchdowns. Daniels' talent is unquestioned, but his health has hampered both his career and the Jayhawks. He started every game last season, which was a welcome sight after missing 10 games in 2023 to a back injury and four games in 2022 for a shoulder injury. If he stays healthy, KU could be a factor in the Big 12 race. Stanford has fallen hard From 2009-18, Stanford won at least eight games each season. More recently, the Cardinal haven't won more than four games in each of the last six seasons. New quarterback Ben Gulbranson struggled in his Stanford debut, going 15-for-30 for 109 yards and a pick. Meanwhile, Hawaii's Micah Alejado (27-for-39 for 210 yards and two touchdowns) suffered a foot injury early in the game, but hobbled his way through the game to give his team a 23-20 victory. Stanford has lost nine of its last 10 games dating back to September 28, 2024. These are tough times for a once-proud program. Week 0 needs a little more energy College football's Week 0 isn't a new thing, but it does feel like the sport needs to decide how big it's going to be. The Aer Lingus College Football Classic has become the tentpole event of Week 0, bringing two quality programs to Ireland. However, the game generates excitement in the early part of the day, but the rest of Saturday left much to be desired. There isn't another marquee matchup, and it seems the primetime slot could provide another big moment to kick off the season. Schedules are made well in advance, but a fun idea would be to have the defending champion play in primetime during Week 0. Honor the champion, raise a banner and give the program an opportunity to stand alone in the limelight before the full slate of Week 1 games.

Green Bay Packers: Matt LaFleur Makes ‘Bittersweet Admission After NFL Preseason Win Against Seahawks

Green Bay Packers: Matt LaFleur Makes ‘Bittersweet Admission After NFL Preseason Win Against Seahawks

With the NFL preseason over, teams across the NFL, including the Green Bay Packers, now face a series of decisions that will lead to the final 53-man roster. The Packers have until Tuesday to trim their roster down to that count. There will be several factors for the Packers to consider before thinning out the roster. Health, depth needs and offseason performances will all go into the equation for Green Bay. In any case, there will be tough news the Packers have to deliver to players, who will eventually not make the final cut. “A lot of decisions have to be made, and this is always a bittersweet time,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters following Green Bay’s 20-7 win at Lambeau Field on Saturday against the visiting Seattle Seahawks, per Ryan Wood of USA Today. Who’s in and who’s out of the final 2025 Green Bay Packers roster? There are plenty of players who are easy calls to be included in the final cut. Quarterbacks Jordan Love and Malik Willis will make it. Running backs Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson should, too. However, MarShawn Lloyd can be expected to be put on the injured reserve, as the oft-injured tailback is dealing with another injury. The wide receiving room should have rookie Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Jayden Reed, but it will be interesting to see whether Malik Heath and Mecole Hardman would make it. The offensive line also gives the Packers some intriguing dilemmas, with Kadeem Telfort and Donovan Jennings seemingly at risk of getting released. The defense doesn’t seem to offer as much complexity, particularly on the defensive line, but Barryn Sorrell’s injury could make things interesting as well.

Winners and losers from Packers' dominant preseason win over Seahawks

The Green Bay Packers have completed their last preseason game before the start of the NFL regular season, doing so in dominant fashion against the Seattle Seahawks. With a final score of 20-7, the Packers got the final word after the two teams had several brutal fisticuffs on Thursday’s joint practice. The team had several players star in their roles during their final auditions before roster cuts on Tuesday, but while Saturday’s game was all Green Bay, several players also missed their chance to leave a lasting impression. Winner: Ty’Ron Hopper impresses with several splash Plays Any Green Bay Packers fans who watched Saturday afternoon’s preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks are now familiar with the name Ty’Ron Hopper. The second-year linebacker out of Missouri was all over the field, making several impressive plays. He finished with three tackles, a sack, and some good plays in coverage as well. Additionally, he had a forced fumble on a fourth-down play where Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe had achieved enough yardage to move the chains, but found himself unable to hold onto the ball. Hopper was not a name getting a lot of attention entering camp, but there’s no chance of him not making the roster following an excellent preseason. With starters Quay Walker, Edgerrin Cooper, and Isaiah McDuffie cemented as the top three ‘backers for the team, Hopper appears to firmly have his hands on the reins for the fourth spot. Winner: Kalen King makes his presence felt Kalen King may have been an outside shot to make the roster a few weeks ago, but it seems like many think the former Penn State star has done enough. King ran with some of the Green Bay starters on defense during the opening periods of the game and had several important contributions. None stands out more than his fumble recovery, which was one of four turnovers forced by the team on the afternoon. In addition to the fumble recovery, he had a strong tackle on Jalen Milroe as the Seattle quarterback scampered towards the end zone, which resulted in no gain. While the secondary remains an area of concern for the Pack, King looks like he may have done enough to ensure he is a part of it entering the season. Loser: Rookie Anthony Belton still has a lot to learn Rookie offensive tackle Anthony Belton has certainly had his struggles this preseason. Just a week after being called for five first-half penalties against the Indianapolis Colts, Belton continued to show up with some poor moments against Seattle. Although he was only called for one false start on Saturday afternoon, head coach Matt LaFleur was seen ripping into Belton during the late first half. Later, it was revealed that LaFleur was upset with Belton’s stance on a third–down play where the team was hoping to secure field goal position. Belton will likely not be counted on for many snaps on offense this upcoming season. He clearly has a way to go before he can develop into a reliable player. Loser: Sean Clifford fails to impress in third-string QB battle King certainly had a strong day, but for another Penn State alum, it was more of a struggle. Reserve quarterback Sean Clifford did not have his best outing in limited action. Clifford finished 6-9 passing, but managed only 19 yards. He had multiple inaccurate balls on some shorter throws that many would expect him to convert. Competing with Clifford for the last quarterback spot is Taylor Elgersma, who had a better day. He went 6-8 for 33 yards. Even though both QBs did not do much of note against Seattle, Elgersma has had a much better preseason overall. In fact, his QB rating was over double of that of Clifford’s entering the final preseason game. Saturday’s contest was a chance for Clifford to rebound, and he failed to take advantage of the opportunity. One other advantage that Elgersma has is that he is four years younger than Clifford. Despite Clifford being just a second-year pro, he is already 27 years old. Theoretically, Elgersma has more room to grow if he was kept around.

Two-time Stanley Cup champion leaves NHL for Switzerland

Last season was a tough one for veteran defenseman Jan Rutta. He dealt with some lower-body injuries, and when he was in the lineup for San Jose, he was often on the third pairing. That has certainly contributed to his going unsigned through the first seven weeks of free agency, but that is coming to an end. Earlier this week, Blick’s Gregory Beaud (h/t The Hockey News) reported that the blueliner is signing with Geneve-Servette in Switzerland. Rutta played in 54 games for the Sharks last season, picking up just three goals and six assists in a little over 17 minutes a night. However, he took a regular turn on their penalty kill and played some tough defensive minutes. Speculatively, NHL teams could be eyeing him as a PTO candidate to fill a sixth or seventh role if things went well in training camp but clearly, a full contract offer has yet to materialize and at some point, a guaranteed deal overseas could be viewed as a better option than trying to earn a contract off a tryout. Rutta debuted fairly late in the NHL with his first season coming at the age of 27 with Chicago. Since then, he has suited up in 417 regular-season games between four different clubs, putting up 23 goals and 75 assists along with 479 blocked shots. He also has a pair of Stanley Cup rings from his time with Tampa Bay. Rutta will be the third veteran NHL player to join that team this offseason. Previously, it signed wingers Jesse Puljujarvi and Jimmy Vesey and has one import slot remaining that it appears they want to use to bring in a veteran defender.
