'Bro is really a*s': Travis Hunter roasted mercilessly after Deion Sanders Jr's bold tennis takeover
A funny thing happened this weekend that fans can't stop talking about. It wasn't on a football field, but it still involved big names from the Colorado Buffaloes. Deion Sanders Jr. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now , also known as Bucky, shared a bold statement that has caught everyone's attention. He says he beat Travis Hunter not once, but twice and he didn't hold back while saying it. Deion Sanders Jr. Says He 'Whooped' Travis Hunter in Tennis Match Deion Sanders Jr. shared a video on Instagram on Friday, June 14, 2025, after a light tennis tournament during a family vacation. It happened at a private tennis court, where the Sanders family and close friends gathered for enjoyment. In the video, Bucky, wearing a headband and holding a tennis racket, confidently says, 'I just beat Travis in tennis twice. I whooped him twice… So bro is really a*s, bro.' The clip went viral across fan pages and X (formerly Twitter), especially among Colorado Buffaloes fans. Travis Hunter, who has a close bond with Bucky since his time at Jackson State in 2021, didn't respond online, but fans were quick to joke about the friendly rivalry. Hunter had previously called Bucky his 'big brother.' Their friendship has been strong since Hunter shocked the football world by choosing to play under Deion Sanders at Jackson State, and later followed him to Colorado. The tennis match was just for fun, but Bucky didn't miss the chance to brag a little, leaving fans laughing and tagging Hunter for a rematch. Deion Sanders Jr. Has Built a Strong Brand Around Colorado Football Deion Sanders Jr. isn't just Coach Prime's son — he's also behind the popular Well Off Media YouTube channel that has made Colorado Buffaloes one of the most followed college football teams in the country. Also Read: Since Deion Sanders became head coach in 2023, Bucky has filmed the team's practices, locker room speeches, and daily life. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His content shows fans what really goes on behind the scenes. The videos are posted on YouTube and Instagram and have helped grow the team's social media numbers by over 500%. Coach Prime himself said Bucky 'changed the game completely' when it comes to building the team's image and helping with recruiting. Bucky also wrote a song for his younger brothers, Shedeur and Shilo, which played at Travis Hunter's wedding earlier this year, showing how close the group really is. Though the weekend tennis win was light-hearted, it gave fans a peek into the tight bond between Sanders Jr., Hunter, and the whole Colorado family.

Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly's Banter After India's Dominating Show vs England Lights Up Social Media
Cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly engaged in light banter on social media as they were reminded of their dominant batting display in 2002 after India reached a commanding 359/3 on the opening day of the first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Leeds on Friday. With India playing under a new captain and without the assured presence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the batting line-up, the visitors rode on centuries by Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) and Shubman Gill (127 not out) and a fine unbeaten half-century by Rishabh Pant (65 not out) to make a strong start in the series. Some fans reminded Tendulkar and Ganguly of India's superb batting at Headingley in 2002 when they shared a 249-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Tendulkar compiled a brilliant 303-ball 193 while Ganguly scored 128. With Rahul Dravid scoring 148, three Indian batters reached the three-figure mark while opener Sanjay Bangar contributed a fine 68. A solid foundation laid by @klrahul and @ybj_19 enabled India to have a good day. Congratulations to Yashasvi and @ShubmanGill for their brilliant centuries. @RishabhPant17 's contribution was equally important for the team. India's batting today reminded me of the Headingley… — Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) June 20, 2025 In response to a post on X, formerly Twitter, about their superb partnership and the three centuries in Leeds, Tendulkar responded with a fingers-crossed emoji. — Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) June 20, 2025 Ganguly then took things further with his reply to Tendulkar. "Hi, time it could be this good and maybe surface on day 1 in a bit different than this..,said Ganguly in his post. Hi Champ .. this time it could be 4 .. on this good surface .. pant and may be karun .. the surface on day 1 in 2002 .. was a bit different then this .. — Sourav Ganguly (@SGanguly99) June 20, 2025 His response left the fans in splits with some of them opining that this kind of bonding is needed in the current team. On Friday, two young batters of India's new Test era dazzled with brilliant strokes to hit a century each and totally dominate England on day one of the newly constituted Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. New captain Shubman Gill, with a magnificent 127 not out, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, scoring 101, led India's charge, while vice-captain Rishabh Pant added a steady 65 not out as India amassed a formidable 359/3 in 85 overs after losing the toss and fully capitalised on England's weak bowling line-up.
