Shedeur Sanders throws subtle shade at Joe Flacco with icy four-word response that fuels Browns QB controversy

Shedeur Sanders may be new to the NFL, but he's already making waves in Cleveland. During a recent Browns training camp appearance, the former Colorado Buffaloes star sparked discussion with quiet confidence and sharp intent.
As quarterback competition builds behind Deshaun Watson, Sanders isn't just learning—he's making a statement.
Four words, big message — Shedeur Sanders breaks the silence
While interacting with a group of kids at camp, Sanders was asked whether he expects to start over veteran Joe Flacco. He didn't hesitate before replying, 'We got preseason first.' It was short, cold, and calculated—enough to grab attention across the league and stir debate in the locker room.
The Browns are reportedly weighing the rare option of retaining all four quarterbacks on the roster—Watson, Flacco, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and Sanders—due to cost-effective contracts.
But for Sanders, merely making the 53-man squad isn't enough. He has his sights set on something bigger, the starting role.
Flacco, a Super Bowl XLVII winner, brings leadership and experience. But at 40, questions loom about longevity and mobility. Sanders, on the other hand, enters with fresh legs, athletic upside, and a reputation for thriving under pressure—attributes he developed playing under his father, Deion Sanders, in college.

Whether his four-word response was quiet confidence or subtle shade, one thing is clear—Sanders isn't in Cleveland to play backup. He's here to compete, shake up expectations, and possibly redefine the Browns' quarterback landscape before Week 1 even arrives.

India vs England: Pitch Report From the early pictures, we can suggest that the Headingley pitch is going to be a green one. It is known for assisting seam and swing bowlers, especially in the first two days. Overcast conditions could further enhance movement off the seam. Batters will need to apply themselves early, but the pitch tends to flatten out slightly from Day 3 onwards. Spinners might come into play later in the match as footmarks develop. Overall, while rain may affect Day 2, the rest of the Test should see plenty of action. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here

England too are entering a transition phase, trying to bounce back after missing out on the finals in previous editions. For India, much will depend on K.L. Rahul, who returns to the top of the order. His strong performances in England during past tours make him a key figure. The return of Karun Nair to the Test setup has also created a buzz, especially after his dominant domestic season. Kuldeep Yadav hints at spin-friendly wicket ahead of England Test series On the other hand, England will once again look to Joe Root, the country's all-time leading Test scorer, to anchor the batting lineup. Youngster Jacob Bethell may not start immediately, but remains a bright future prospect. With injuries to key fast bowlers, Chris Woakes will carry a big responsibility with the ball. India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, ranked the No.1 Test bowler in the world, will play a crucial role, though his appearances may be limited due to workload management.
