Colorado football's 2026 offer letters are out of this world
He has brought in refreshed uniforms, new gear and a superior culture that was severely lacking before his arrival.
That swag is, of course, a significant presence in recruiting, and it put the program's 2026 offer letters over the top.
The official offers were sent out to Colorado's class of 2026 verbal commits, and as of Friday evening, there are ten. Colorado's top-rated commit, defensive back Preston Ashley, showed off the letter in a social media post.
The offer letter includes trading cards of each coach on Colorado's staff, with each emphasizing the NFL experience that is so abundant. Each card features a picture of the coach with their former NFL team, along with a couple of seemingly exclusive cards of Deion Sanders himself. It truly is a unique and creative way to showcase the coaching talent currently in Boulder to recruits.
Each letter also comes with a personalized trading card that resembles a one-of-one collectible card.
Colorado routinely goes above and beyond in their recruiting efforts, and these 2026 official offers are simply another example.

Shedeur Sanders' Browns debut draws NFL Network's best preseason ratings in a decade
Shedeur Sanders entered the NFL with a built-in audience, and it definitely showed up for his first action on an NFL field. The Cleveland Browns' preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers, in which Sanders made a successful debut, drew an average of 2.237 million viewers on Friday. Per the NFL, that was enough to make it NFL Network's most-watched preseason game since 2015. The league also noted it was NFL Network's most-watched first week of preseason ever. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Sanders might have only been a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but might be the most-followed player in his entire rookie class after four years of playing under his father Deion in college at Jackson State and Colorado. He also landed in a highly volatile Browns quarterback room, where Sanders and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel are on the depth chart behind veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. With the Browns holding Flacco out of the preseason opener, injuries to Pickett and Gabriel opened the door for Sanders to get the start last week. He made the most of it, completing 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions and a 113.9 passer rating. The performance drew significant attention on social media, including from NBA star LeBron James. However, Sanders will have to wait a while for his follow-up, as he is unlikely to play this weekend due to an oblique injury sustained in practice The preseason could decide where Sanders ends up on the depth chart, so any further time missed represents lost opportunities for him. Judging from the ratings, the people airing Browns preseason games would also probably like to have him back soon.

College Football Fans Hoping Paul Finebaum's Promise Comes True
College Football Fans Hoping Paul Finebaum's Promise Comes True originally appeared on The Spun. ESPN's Paul Finebaum may have just wrote a check he can't cash. A few days ago, Finebaum appeared on the "Netflix Sports Club Podcast." As you'd imagine, he talked about the 2025 college football season. During his conversation with Dani Klupenger, the longtime radio personality was asked if an SEC team will win the national championship this season. Finebaum didn't just say the SEC would win the national title, he said he'd leave the United States if a program from his favorite conference fails to win it all. "It is," Finebaum replied. "And by the way, if it's not, I'm leaving the country because I am so sick and tired of being harassed by Big Ten fans on our show." Finebaum vented about the Big Ten for a few seconds before revealing his pick to win it all. As of now, he's riding with the Texas Longhorns. "The Big Ten has literally done nothing. They've won two national championships. Michigan won one two years ago. They've won one and a half national championships, I think, and before that, in 70 years. And they act like they invented football," Finebaum said, via Awful Announcing. "Alabama has won about 15 national championships in my lifetime. Now, I realize that's not a good comparison to a realistic lifespan. But, I believe Texas is going to win; I didn't mean to avoid your question. It's going to end all this. And on January 20, I'll be the happiest man in America because I won't have to listen to the Big Tenners, or as my callers call them, the Little Tenners." The College Football Playoff is several months away, but fans can't wait for it to begin because of Finebaum's promise. His critics would love to see him leave the national spotlight for good. "Someone from the Big Ten plz pull it off so we can get rid of this idiot," one fan wrote on X. "When you make statements like that, you are setting yourself up for extreme scrutiny," a second fan commented. "We can only hope he'll actually leave. There's zero reason anyone should care what that man says about football," another fan said. "Hope Buckeyes take it Maybe Penn State or Michigan. If so. I'll start a go fund me for your airfare," a social media user wrote. Luckily for Finebaum, he just needs any team in the SEC to win in order to stick around. Texas, Georgia, Alabama and LSU are all expected to be top-10 teams this season. Of course, only time will tell if Finebaum eats his own words. College Football Fans Hoping Paul Finebaum's Promise Comes True first appeared on The Spun on Aug 13, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 13, 2025, where it first appeared.

Game #123: A's vs. Rays Game Thread
The Athletics managed to split the first two games of their weekday series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Now they'll get the opportunity to put on their spoiler hats and hand the Rays their 64th loss of the season. The postseason is slipping out of Tampa's grasp and a series loss to the A's would be a massive disappointment for them. But we like playing spoiler, don't we? Taking to the bump for the home squad this evening for the finale will be rookie right-hander JT Ginn, who will be making his ninth start of the season. He's made four starts since rejoining the rotation late last month, providing two quality outings and then a couple up-and-down starts his last two times on the mound. Overall on the year Ginn has a solid 4.39 ERA in 16 games (8 starts). He's also faced the Rays once this year, tossing 3 2/3 perfect innings out of the bullpen back in June, also collecting five strikeouts along the way. That bodes well for his chances tonight against the slumping Rays. Here's how manager Mark Kotsay ordered the starting lineup for tonight's contest: As you can see the A's have a new leadoff man for tonight's series finale. Rookie outfielder Carlos Cortes will bat first for the third time with the big league club. He's gone just 2-for-10 in his two previous times as the leadoff man but with a right-handed pitcher on the mound Kotsay wants to see what the rookie can offer as a sparkplug. Behind tonight's left fielder in the lineup will be catcher Shea Langeliers and All-Star DH Brent Rooker. From there things change up. Rookie first baseman Nick Kurtz will get the night off for the first time in over two weeks. Instead Tyler Soderstrom, who began the year as the Athletics' starting first baseman, will return to the dirt and man his old position. Rookie Colby Thomas draws his second straight start in right field after going 2-for-3 with a double, a pair of RBI's and a stolen base last night. Shortstop Darell Hernaiz and current center fielder Lawrence Butler will bat behind Thomas while Gio Urshela and Max Schuemann handle the final two spots in the batting order and third and second base, respectively. For the desperate Rays, they'll rely on staff ace Drew Rasmussen for the finale hoping he can get the Rays some momentum before departing Sacramento. Rasmussen has had a terrific (and healthy) season for Tampa Bay in what is his fifth big league season. After missing tons of time the previous two seasons the right-hander has made 23 starts and posted a terrific 2.66 ERA, which would be good for 4th-best in the American League if he had enough innings to qualify. Not an easy matchup for the A's bats, but he tied a season-high four runs allowed to the Green & Gold back at the end of June so the offense has that going for them. Tampa's starting nine tonight for the finale: All the primary in there for the Rays tonight. If Ginn can keep the middle of the Tampa lineup from inflicting damage then chances are good the Athletics can win their 55th game of the season this evening. First pitch is in about one hour folks. Let's go A's!
