Randy Moss visits Deion Sanders before Colorado's season opener originally appeared on The Sporting News

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes welcomed another Hall-of-Famer into the Champions Center on Wednesday.

Randy Moss took time to address the players just days before the home opener with Georgia Tech and asked the question: "Am I my brother's keeper?" He framed it around a story about his legendary playing career and carrying on the legacy of his late brother. He also applauded Sanders for his ongoing efforts to boost CU Football to another level.

"I love what you're doing around here, coach. Because this is what I stand for," Moss said. "There was a reason why I told coach I wanted to come and see this team. There is a reason. All this professional football talent around here."

The bond between Sanders and Moss strengthen over Coach Prime's recent cancer battle. It's a walk both are now familiar with after reaching professional football's highest level. 

Moss was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in 2024, prompting him to undergo chemotherapy treatments while maintaining his hosting duties for ESPN. He took it upon himself to keep up with Sanders as he recovered from bladder cancer this offseason. The topic was a notable moment during Coach Prime's conference as he announced to the world he was a cancer survivor. 

"Randy Moss called me every other day to make sure I was straight," he said. (He) prayed for me. He and his wife told me what I needed to be doing. He's gone through some things very similar."

Sanders added, "I love him to life. Love him more than ever. He gave me so much strength and so much guidance. And so much love and respect and appreciation."

Colorado prepares for a matchup with Georgia Tech on Friday night (8 p.m. ET on ESPN). The Big 12/ACC showdown will feature the Buffs in a new era without Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. As for the Yellow Jackets, being able to sneak into Boulder and start the season on a high note will be key.

Trace Carroll, close friend of ASU's Dillingham, takes over as Chaparral football coach

-
Trace Carroll, who was teammates and best friends with Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham in high school, is returning to Scottsdale Chaparral to lead the football program. Carroll played for two of the greatest high school coaches in Arizona history, Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle. He played at the tail end of Estabrook's career and the start of Ragle's tenure at the school. He was an offensive lineman, next to future NFL tackle Taylor Lewan, on the 2008 team that reached the state final, before losing to Scottsdale Saguaro. The quarterback of that team, Spencer Stone, is actress Emma Stone's brother. "As a proud alumni and as a former football player at Chaparral for Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle, I look forward to continuing the program’s great success," Carroll said. Carroll, like Dillingham, got into coaching almost immediately after graduating from high school, helping Ragle out at Chaparral. He spent the past six years as a quarterbacks coach at P...

Cleveland Guardians sign Tanner Bibee to long-term contract extension

Tanner Bibee emerged a central piece to the Guardians’ future last season. He’ll now remain in Cleveland until at least 2029. The Guardians signed the right-hander to a five-year contract extension through the 2029 season that includes a club option for 2030, the club announced Saturday afternoon. Bibee was set to become a free agent after the 2028 season. This extension eats up one and potentially two years of his free agent eligibility. For Bibee, it allows him to receive his first major payday without further injury risk. For the Guardians, it allows them to retain him for an extra season or two by giving him some early financial guarantees. Last year, Bibee took over as the club’s No. 1 starter after Shane Bieber needed Tommy John surgery , Gavin Williams missed most of the season with his own injury issues and Triston McKenzie lost his command to the point of needing to be sent to Triple-A Columbus. Bibee was recently named as the club’s Opening Day starter . This article...
