ESPN took a major risk in getting popular, yet controversial, comedian Shane Gillis to host this year's ESPY Awards. Gillis delivered some jokes that landed and others that didn't. His deadpan, politically incorrect humor is found hilarious by some, and not so much by others.
When Gillis is on the stage, nobody is safe. And unfortunately for Shedeur Sanders, he found himself directly in the line of fire with one of Gillis' jokes.
In April, Colorado made the controversial announcement that it would be retiring the jerseys of Sanders and Travis Hunter. The decision ruffled some feathers, considering the Buffaloes had only ever retired four numbers in the past.
