At age 50, Pilar keeps showing up, bold and unbothered. During the recent Tampa Bay Buccaneers' preseason win, she posted a video walking through the stadium doors, wearing that black crop top with Shilo Sanders's No. 28 and action shots.
She matched it with pants that spelt 'Sanders' down the side, also accessorizing with a belly chain and gold jewelry.
In the video, she turned to the camera and whispered, 'let's run it back,' while looking confident.
Before this, she had already faced negative comments after attending her son Shedeur's first NFL game with the Browns. Fans wrote many negative things about her, criticizing her energy and style.
But despite these digs, she did not stop turning heads. Just a few days earlier at Shilo's pro debut, she wore a sparkling red dress, posed for photos, and even got warm praise from fans online.

After a solid performance, he gifted his muddy, game-worn jersey to Pilar because, jokingly, Deion Sanders 'didn't want it,' saying he'd need a bigger performance for that. Pilar accepted the jersey with joy, even saying how 'nice and wet and dirty' it was.
As for Shedeur, in his preseason debut with the Cleveland Browns, he threw for 138 yards and two touchdowns in a 30–10 win over the Panthers. After that, he gently told a reporter he wished to hear more positive words about him, highlighting his desire to be seen for his effort. Both brothers are making their mark in the NFL, and Pilar is right there, making each game even more lively.

After retirement news, John Wall lands role with Prime Video's NBA crew to begin next professional chapter
John Wall. Image via: Brad Mills-Imagn Images John Wall has officially closed the book on his NBA playing career. However, his connection to the game is far from over. Just hours after announcing his retirement, the five-time All-Star secured his next role as he joined Prime Video's studio crew as the platform begins its first season broadcasting NBA games under a new 11-year rights deal. Wall's new role in the NBA world started another chapter in his legacy. John Wall lands new role after NBA retirement John Wall, 34, will join a high-profile team that already features Blake Griffin and Dirk Nowitzki as lead analysts. Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash, and Candace Parker will rotate between the studio and commentary duties, giving Prime Video a stacked lineup for its debut season. For Wall, the transition is a natural one. Though his broadcast résumé is short, limited to two G League Winter Showcase games for ESPN and NBA TV last year, he sees this as a chance to channel his lifelong love of basketball into a new format. 'If you never really had the opportunity to sit down and talk to me, you won't really understand how much I love basketball, where my basketball mind is at, where my IQ is,' Wall told the Washington Post. 'I can basically tell you the best player in the country — from girls to boys, high school, to the players that's in college, to the people that's at the NBA and WNBA.' The former point guard joked that broadcasting will at least spare his family from his nonstop in-game commentary. 'I love to do it when I'm home, watching with my friends and kids,' Wall said to the Associated Press. 'They all would eventually end up telling me to 'shut up and let us watch.'' John Wall's NBA career in a nutshell Wall retires after 11 NBA seasons, most of them with the Washington Wizards, where he became the face of the franchise. Drafted No. 1 overall in 2010, he averaged 18.7 points and 8.9 assists across his career, earning five consecutive All-Star selections. Wass is known for his blistering speed and vision. He guided Washington to multiple playoff runs before injuries cut into his prime. Later stints with the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers gave him brief flashes of a comeback, but by 2023, it was clear his playing days were winding down.

'And I think that's kind of how I wanted to approach this season and anybody that said anything, I try and put myself in their shoes as much as possible. And I respect the hell outta you and what you've accomplished in the game and your leadership from afar, it seems like you're the type of leader that I'd wanna play with.

He's an All-Pro and he's a GOAT. He's going to be a gold jacket guy one day. Honestly, when he got here, we communicated, we talked, he's a great person and a great football player, so whoever the media's put out there is B.S.,' Elliott explained.
