Shilo Sanders’ time in Tampa Bay is up.

The former Colorado star has been waived by the Buccaneers just hours after throwing a punch at an opposing player in a preseason game, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter citing the safety’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, as the source.

Schefter tweeted on Sunday morning that the “Buccaneers informed rookie safety Shilo Sanders today that he is being waived, per his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey, who added, “we’re hoping he gets claimed on waivers.”

Shilo Sanders’ Punch Branded “Inexcusable” By Todd Bowles

Sanders, who publicly ribbed his brother Shedeur over his legal woes following two police stops earlier this year, was ejected from Saturday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills after punching tight end Zach Davidson after they got tangled up on a play.

 

The strike was ill-advised, especially given that he was competing for a roster spot.

Bucs head coach Todd Bowles branded the decision “inexcusable” while speaking to reporters after the game.

“You can’t throw punches in this league,” Bowles said, per the Bucs’ website. “That’s inexcusable. They’re going to get you every time. Gotta grow from that.”

Bowles would not be drawn into discussing a potential punishment or whether the ejection would impact Shilo’s chances of making the team’s 53-man roster. But the player hasn’t had to wait long to discover his fate.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
