Shilo Sanders is making an impression in his early days with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he’s doing it in a way few rookies have before-by becoming the team’s unofficial “snack guy,” and now everyone is liking him ever since.
The undrafted safety, son of NFL legend and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, revealed his plan to ingratiate himself with the veterans in the safety room. According to the Pewter Report, Sanders intends to provide snacks for his teammates during meetings, ensuring they get their favorites while he adjusts to life in the NFL.

“Shilo Sanders says his goal is to be the ‘snack guy’ for the safety room,” the report stated. “He’s going to get with the veterans to see what snacks they want in meetings and provide them. Considering all they’ll help him adjust to the NFL, he says it’s the least he could do”.
While some might view this as rookie hazing, Sanders insists it’s a genuine effort to build camaraderie. His approach isn’t limited to snacks, either. ESPN’s Jenna Laine noted that Sanders made a point to shake hands with every media member before his first press conference, a gesture that stood out among Buccaneers players.

Gratitude will pay off
“The Bucs were the first team to call, and I’m forever grateful that they gave me a chance,” Sanders said. His transition to the NFL has been closely followed, especially given his family’s football pedigree. His brother, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, has been calling him every morning at 6 a.m.-a routine that Shilo jokingly admitted was interfering with his study sessions.
The Buccaneers signed Sanders to his rookie contract following the conclusion of the draft on April 26. His father, Deion Sanders, personally thanked the team for giving his son a fair shot at making the final roster.
As Sanders settles into his new surroundings, his thoughtful gestures and willingness to embrace his role-both on and off the field-are earning him respect among teammates and fans alike. Whether his snack strategy helps him secure a roster spot remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: he’s making an impact in Tampa Bay.

Payton Pritchard steps up for Celtics in Game 3 win vs. Knicks, and it goes far beyond his 3-point shooting
Imagn Images NEW YORK -- Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said Saturday that the days leading up to Game 3 of their first-round series against the New York Knicks were not difficult whatsoever. Yes, the Celtics were down 2-0 after blowing two 20-point leads at home, but "this is the fun part," Mazzulla said. "You don't get into the journey for it to be easy. It's been dark, but in a good way."In this situation, "you just gotta tap into your darkness, and that's it," Mazzulla said.Of course Mazzulla, who has shown the Celtics clips of hyenas and killer whales hunting their prey, would say that. To hear guard Payton Pritchard, though, Boston kept it simple after Game 2. Light, even."We watched areas where we could clean up a little bit, but it was really just being more confident and […]

16 jogos e 16 derrotas: Rogério Ceni mantém escrita e segue sem vencer o Flamengo
A escrita está mantida em mais um encontro de Rogério Ceni com o Flamengo em sua carreira de treinador. Derrotado por 1 a 0 na noite deste sábado, no Maracanã, em confronto da 8ª rodada do Brasileirão, o comandante do Bahia amargou a 16ª derrota em 16 jogos em que enfrentou o rubro-negro. Desde que se tornou técnico, Ceni tem passagens por São Paulo, Fortaleza, Cruzeiro e Bahia, além do próprio Flamengo. E em todas as vezes que teve que enfrentar o rubro-negro, seja dentro ou fora de casa, o ex-goleiro não conseguiu sequer um empate. Foram seis gols marcados e 30 sofridos em 15 jogos. À frente do Bahia, esta foi a quinta derrota sofrida. Em 2024, Ceni e o tricolor perderam quatro vezes para o rubro-negro. Além das duas partidas pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, houve derrotas nos dois confrontos […]
