Between the NFL draft chaos (more on that below) and the never-ending Bill Belichick/Jordon Hudson saga (looks like Belichick isn’t done playing defense), there’s been too much drama for me these past few days. So today, I’d like to focus on some of the lighthearted stories that made me smile, like:
What’s going on: The preseason hasn’t even started, and the NFL is already serving up Bravo-level drama. Top quarterback prospect Shedeur Sanders — son of Colorado coach and NFL legend Deion Sanders — made headlines for going undrafted round after round. Memes flooded social media, sports journalists called it a nightmare, and then things took a turn: On day two of the draft, someone pretending to be the GM of the New Orleans Saints prank called Sanders, telling him he’d “have to wait a little longer” to get drafted. The call, which was caught on camera, went viral — and the story got even wilder after the 21-year-old son of the Atlanta Falcon’s defensive coordinator admitted he swiped the phone number from his dad’s iPad (and apologized). You can’t script this.
