You lost me at "I felt really bad for Shedeur". Wasn't his twitter account selling stuff at halftime? Isn't he driving a Rolls on campus? Isn't he showing off an $70k watch?. Perhaps that's all fake news, but perhaps it's not. I'm not feeling bad at all for the Sanders.

I'm able to separate his off-field antics from his competitive athletic drive.  It's not a big deal.  Of course I think the era of children becoming celebrity entertainer-athletes makes for poor role models.  But as an athlete, I have definitely been in his shoes where an ill-advised desperate attempt to remain competitive suddenly and permanently takes a turn for the worse.  He earned that INT, no question.  But he'll be haunted by that decision for a while.
