Deion Sanders Jr. drops unexpected music video on Shedeur's draft slide
Enter 'No Sympathy,' a raw, cinematic music video that's more than just a song—it's a statement. Released via his Well Off Forever platform, the video lays Shedeur's emotional rollercoaster bare: from tense draft night footage to intimate family moments, all underscored by haunting lyrics and a beat that hits as hard as the disappointment did.

The footage captures Shedeur surrounded by friends and family, holding his composure even as cameras document his stunning slide to pick No. 144, where the Cleveland Browns finally selected him in the fifth round. The moment he addressed the room after Day 1—calm, confident, unshaken—is the kind of scene that turns draft snubs into legacy fuel.
One lyric repeats over slow-motion shots of Shedeur and his brothers:
'They don't feel what we feel—so we move different.'
It's more than music; it's a mission statement.
The video also features raw clips of Shilo Sanders, visibly emotional while witnessing his younger brother endure what many saw as one of the draft's biggest shocks. Adding fuel to the fire? Fellow Browns rookie Dillon Gabriel—taken 50 picks ahead of Shedeur—is already on the same depth chart. The message is clear: Shedeur isn't just coming to play. He's coming to prove everything.

Deion Jr.'s move wasn't just creative—it was calculated. As always under intense media glare, the Sanders family is once again steering the spotlight on their own terms.
Don't count Shedeur out. If anything, count him dangerous.

3 Arizona Cardinals players who improved their stock in preseason loss to the Broncos
The Arizona Cardinals lost their second preseason game Saturday night, a 27-7 defeat to the Denver Broncos in which they allowed 562 yards and only gained 135. They didn't play any of their starters expect for rookie cornerback Will Johnson and new linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither. There weren't a lot of positives, but a few players helped their stock as we approach final cuts and the 53-man roster. Which players stood out? QB Jacoby Brissett Brissett doesn't have any worry about making the roster, as he has the backiup quarterback job locked up. However, he led the Cardinals to another touchdown, giving him three touchdown passes in five preseason possessions. They have come against opponent backups, but the ease with which he operates the offense and moved the ball down the field, there is confidence that the offense will be okay should Kyler Murray ever get hurt. WR Simi Fehoko Fehoko had his first preseason action, missing last week's game with a quad injury. He had two receptions for 21 yards, including a 16-yard touchdown reception. He also made a special teams tackle. He is a player most fans won't know, but the TV broadcast emphasized he is good on special teams. He showed enough to probably secure a spot on the roster, especially considering he ha almost all his salary guaranteed in 2025. K Chad Ryland He only had the one extra point and did not have a field-goal attempt, But before the game, he drilled a 72-yard field goal. There is no issue with his leg. That was about it. It was mostly players hurting themselves. Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire's Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.

Spike Lee says ESPN won't air his Colin Kaepernick series
ESPN has confirmed it will not move forward with a highly anticipated docuseries about Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who ignited a national movement in 2016 by kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality. The eight-part series, directed by Oscar-winner Spike Lee, was announced in 2022 and promoted as a first-person account of Kaepernick's journey from NFL star to civil rights figure. But on Saturday, Aug. 16, both ESPN and Lee said the project had been canceled due to 'creative differences.' 'ESPN, Colin Kaepernick and Spike Lee have collectively decided to no longer proceed with this project as a result of certain creative differences,' the network said in a statement. 'Despite not reaching finality, we appreciate all the hard work and collaboration that went into this film.' Lee revealed the news the night before, on Friday, Aug. 15, while attending a fundraiser in Beverly Hills. 'It's not coming out. That's all I can say,' he told Reuters, citing a nondisclosure agreement that barred him from elaborating. The project had already encountered setbacks. In 2023, Puck News reported that Lee and Kaepernick had disagreed over the film's direction, delaying production. ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro was reportedly open to allowing the filmmakers to shop the series elsewhere. Kaepernick, now 37, has not played in the NFL since the 2016 season. The 49ers released him in 2017, citing football-related reasons, though many believe his political activism significantly influenced the league's decision to keep him unsigned. 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now!' Trump told a crowd at a rally. 'Out! He's fired!' Kaepernick later filed a collusion grievance against the NFL, which was settled in 2019.
