Deion Sanders slammed the present state of player uniforms in a daring moment, calling the biker short trend "disrespectful" to the sport and suggesting penalties for players who failed to match the standard.
Deion Sanders calls out sloppy college football uniforms with strong message
Deion Sanders took front stage on July 9, 2025, during the Big 12 Media Days event to question how today's players dress rather than for game strategy. The former NFL legend said athletes wearing their pants too high often reveal their thighs without knee pads or adequate covering; concern was expressed.
'Let's do something about the uniforms,'
Deion Sanders said.
'That makes me sick because I'm a football guy.'
Deion Sanders believes players must respect the game's tradition. While professional leagues have strict dress codes, college football lacks similar enforcement.
He suggested fines to make young players think twice before dressing in what he termed as an unprofessional manner to address this. Fans battled both for and against his conventional ideas, therefore his words quickly went viral.
Deion Sanders also pushes for salary cap to fix college football's deep flaws
Beyond uniforms, Deion Sanders used his platform to highlight what he believes is a growing problem: money gaps between college programs. According to Sanders, rich schools are now buying up top recruits, leaving smaller schools behind.
'The team that pays the most is going to win,'
Deion Sanders said.
'It's hard to compete with someone giving $30 million to a freshman class.'
Sanders suggested that a salary cap system, similar to the NFL, could protect fairness in college football.

He argued this would stop top talent from only going to the highest bidder. He also said playoff teams are spending far more than others, making it easy to predict which schools will reach the College Football Playoff.
Although many seasoned fans and coaches agree with Deion Sanders' message, some have reservations about his timing. Critics contend he only came out after his sons made it to the NFL, therefore questioning his actual motivation. Still, the argument continues, with Sanders advocating for a new college football culture based in discipline, equality, and custom.

Andy Reid praises Travis Kelce's stunning new look after major offseason transformation
Andy Reid praises Travis Kelce's stunning new look after major offseason transformation (Image Via X) Head coach Andy Reid made a startling statement when the Kansas City Chiefs started training camp on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, in St. Joseph, Missouri. He said Travis Kelce is in fantastic shape and looks to be 20 years old once more. Fans wondered what Andy Reid meant. The coach praised Travis Kelce's body transformation without revealing details in the first moment, building suspense. Andy Reid's words hinted something special had happened off-season. Readers now want to know what changed, when it happened, and how Travis Kelce looks and feels heading into his 13th NFL season. Andy Reid on Travis Kelce's shape and look On Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at the Kansas City Chiefs' opening training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri, head coach Andy Reid described Travis Kelce as 'svelte' and said 'he looks like he's 20'. Andy Reid added Travis Kelce shows visible burst and seems rejuvenated as he nears age 36. Andy Reid also noted Travis Kelce's workout commitment, calling him in 'great shape' and said Kelce has clearly worked hard on his body over the offseason. Travis Kelce's offseason changes and context Travis Kelce, the 35‑year‑old tight end entering his 13th NFL season, lost about 25 pounds during the offseason through focused training and diet work in Florida. He revealed in May 2025 at an event in New York City he had lost weight and felt better physically. Although some reports say he lost 25 lbs, Kelce clarified in June he never claimed exactly that number and told reporters, 'Don't believe everything you read on the internet,' while confirming he is 'down some weight' since last season. This weight loss comes after a disappointing 2024 season for Kelce, when he had his lowest yardage total (823 yards) and only three regular‑season touchdowns, and the Kansas City Chiefs lost Super Bowl LIX 40‑22 to the Eagles on February 9, 2025, in New Orleans.

Rough start? Aaron Rodgers intercepted on first throw with Steelers and his response is going viral
Aaron Rodgers throws interception on first Steelers practice play and his response is going viral. (Michael Owens / Getty Images file) It didn't take long for Steelers fans to witness peak Aaron Rodgers. Literally one throw in, and he was picked off. And while critics had a field day online, Rodgers' own reaction? Vintage cool. Aaron Rodgers' very first pass at Steelers camp ends in a pick and it was caught on video So, here's the scene: It's Day 1 of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. Aaron Rodgers is in black and yellow, slinging his first official throw in 7-on-7s. And right off the bat, he's intercepted. — barstoolsports (@barstoolsports) The pass was aimed for DK Metcalf, but Patrick Queen read it perfectly, snagging the ball and flipping momentum instantly. Fans in attendance, media covering the event, and now the internet, everyone saw it. That clip? It's already everywhere. And it's being used to either clown Rodgers or hype up Queen's offseason arrival. Pick your narrative. Not long after the interception drama, a quote surfaced that perfectly sums up Aaron Rodgers' chill energy. According to multiple social media accounts, Rodgers reportedly said: 'It's good to get that out the way. I'm going to throw some picks, but I'm going to throw some touchdowns too.' Now, this wasn't from a formal press conference. No ESPN mic caught it. But the quote has been widely shared by NFL fans and insider accounts, and it sounds very much like something Rodgers would drop casually. Steelers QB battle? Mason Rudolph came out looking sharp While Rodgers had a rocky first rep, Mason Rudolph apparently balled out with the second team. Reports say Rudolph went 4-for-4, perfectly efficient while running the backup offense. Now, no one's expecting a full-on QB controversy in Pittsburgh, Rodgers was brought in to be QB1 but the optics of the first day? A little spicy. And you know Steelers fans are watching everything. Aaron Rodgers getting picked off on his first Steelers throw is the kind of storyline NFL fans eat up. Does it mean anything big long-term? Probably not. But the vibes, the quote, and the immediate firestorm prove one thing: Rodgers in Pittsburgh is going to be a must-watch, every single practice. FAQs: Who is Aaron Rodgers competing with for the starting job? Aaron Rodgers is the clear starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers and is not competing with anyone. What's Aaron Rodgers' contract with the Steelers? Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year, $13.7 million contract that includes $10 million guaranteed with the Steelers. How is Patrick Queen fitting into the Steelers defense? Extremely well, if Day 1 is any indicator. The former Ravens linebacker is already making impact plays.

Which team has the best chance to go from worst to first in NFL in 2025?
A team going from worst to first in the division is nearly an annual occurrence in the NFL. HT Image With last-place teams getting advantages like favorable schedules and higher draft picks, there have been 25 teams since the 2002 realignment that followed up a last-place finish with a division title the following year. While no team pulled off the trick last season, it had happened least once in each of the previous four seasons. Perhaps no team is better positioned to do it this season than the San Francisco 49ers, who followed up a Super Bowl loss in the 2023 season with a 6-11 last-place finish in 2024. The Niners were done in by a string of injuries to key players and now head into the 2025 season with the weakest projected schedule thanks in part to three games against fellow last-place teams Chicago, the New York Giants and Cleveland. Here's a look at the contenders based on their odds to finish first from BetMGM Sportsbook: BetMGM odds to win division: 165. Reason for optimism: The 49ers still have star power with players like Fred Warner, George Kittle, Nick Bosa, Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams and one of the top offensive coaches in the game in Kyle Shanahan. With the last-place schedule and a rotation that includes eight games against the weaker South divisions, the Niners are favored to win the NFC West. Reason for pessimism: San Francisco let several defensive starters leave in the offseason as part of a movement to get cheaper and younger. But if their rookie class can't step in and contribute immediately, the defense could have some holes even with the return of coordinator Robert Saleh. BetMGM odds to win division: 475. Reason for optimism: QB Drake Maye showed flashes as a rookie and should get a boost in Year 2 with a better coaching staff led by Mike Vrabel and coordinator Josh McDaniels. Reason for pessimism: Maye still has very little support even after the offseason acquisitions of rookie lineman Will Campbell and veteran receiver Stefon Diggs. BetMGM odds to win division: 550. Reason for optimism: The Bears brought in the most highly sought after coaching candidate when Ben Johnson was hired after a strong run as offensive coordinator in Detroit. They also upgraded the interior of the offensive line by acquiring Joe Thuney, Drew Dalman and Jonah Jackson in the offseason to help second-year QB Caleb Williams. Reason for pessimism: Chicago is in a division with three returning playoff teams and has one of the more difficult schedules in the NFL. If Williams' struggles as a rookie were more about holding onto the ball too long instead of the surrounding environment, the upgrades might not be enough. BetMGM odds to win division: 800. Reason for optimism: Last year's struggles delivered Tennessee the No. 1 overall pick. QB Cam Ward brings his playmaking ability to Tennessee and should be helped by an improved offensive line following the additions of Dan Moore and Kevin Zeitler and anticipated improvement from recent first-rounders JC Latham and Peter Skoronski. Reason for pessimism: Ward doesn't have a strong group of pass catchers even after the signing of veteran Tyler Lockett and Tennessee hasn't done much to upgrade a defense that allowed 27.1 points per game last season. BetMGM odds to win division: 1,300. Reason for optimism: The offense could get a boost if first-round tackle Kelvin Banks can step in immediately and receivers Chris Olave and Rasheed Shaheed are healthy. Reason for pessimism: New Orleans has uncertainty at quarterback after Derek Carr's retirement and is counting on either second-round rookie Tyler Shough or 2024 fifth-rounder Spencer Rattler to perform at a high enough level to compete. BetMGM odds to win division: 1,500. Reason for optimism: Perhaps no team upgraded at quarterback and head coach as much as the Raiders with Pete Carroll replacing Antonio Pierce at coach and Geno Smith coming in at quarterback after a platoon of Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell. The offense under new coordinator Chip Kelly could be intriguing with record-setting second-year tight end Brock Bowers and rookie running back Ashton Jeanty. Reason for pessimism: Las Vegas is in a division that had three playoff teams last season, making it a difficult proposition to climb too high in the standings. There are major questions in the secondary that could prove fatal in a division with Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Bo Nix. BetMGM odds to win division: 2,800. Reason for optimism: The Giants should have one of the top defensive lines with No. 3 overall pick Abdul Carter joining Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. The return of left tackle Andrew Thomas after he missed 11 games last season should help boost the offense under new quarterback Russell Wilson. Reason for pessimism: While Wilson may be an upgrade at quarterback, his play has fallen significantly since leaving Seattle following the 2021 season. New York traded up to draft Jaxson Dart in the first round but he might not be ready to take over as a rookie on a team that still has many holes on offense. BetMGM odds to win division: 3,000. Reason for optimism: The Browns feature one of the game's top defensive players in four-time All-Pro Myles Garrett after he got a new contract last season and Kevin Stefanski has won AP Coach of the Year twice in five seasons with Cleveland. Reason for pessimism: Cleveland is still searching for a QB three years after trading for Deshaun Watson. Veteran Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders are all in the mix but none provide immediate hope for success. ___ AP NFL:
