Shedeur Sanders chimes in as Colorado star Travis Hunter's relationship with fiancée faces mounting criticism

Colorado football two-way star Travis Hunter won the coveted Heisman Trophy on Dec. 14. 

But the ensuing days have been riddled with controversy as the star college football player's relationship with his fiancée Leanna Lenee was placed under the microscope. Some fans took aim at Lenee over her behavior in videos which circulated online.

Hunter's teammate, Sheduer Sanders, has since decided to address the controversy. The Buffaloes quarterback suggested that critics should stop weighing in on the wide receiver and defensive back's personal life.

"All y'all athletes, entertainers, artist etc. if y'all genuine trying to holla at Trav y'all know how to get in touch with him or someone around," Sanders wrote on X, on Sunday. "At this point y'all just posting for the algorithm trying to look cool."

At least one social media video appeared to show Lenee remaining in her seat moments after Hunter was named the 2024 Heisman recipient. NFL icon and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders then appeared to prompt Lenee to stand up. Lenee did eventually briefly embrace Hunter before quickly sitting back down amid the audience's standing ovation.

Hunter and Lenee's engagement was pubically confirmed earlier this year.

Other video footage appeared to show Lenee remaining seated while Hunter greeted and posed for photos with fans at an event in New York City the day after the Heisman ceremony. Some fans attempted to analyze Lenee's demeanor during her time at the event and even suggested she was irritated.

Hunter addressed the situation during a Twitch live stream, saying his fiancée cried herself to sleep and consumed alcohol due to the backlash.

"You know the hurt when you just cry yourself to sleep," Hunter said, before adding that he didn't want Lenee to "go to sleep sad" after drinking.

"I know what I got. I know my girl. My girl's been with me for five years," Hunter said. "Y'all are just now starting to talk about me and just now starting to be with me. Come on, man."

Last week, Lenee took to TikTok to address the criticism.

"People are saying that I’m like, ‘What am I supposed to do? Just sit here?’ " she said on Dec. 16 in response to a clip. "That’s not what I said, first of all."

On Monday, TMZ reported that Hunter decided to deactivate his Instagram account. Hunter has yet to pubically reveal any details on his decision.

Hunter is projected to be one of the first players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. But, he is still expected to play in the Alamo Bowl game against BYU.

Jim Gaffigan says comedy audiences are tired of political drama and just want to laugh again

Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed in an interview why he's mostly steering clear of politics in his stand-up material these days. Gaffigan told Variety that comedy fans don’t attend stand-up shows to hear lectures. They go to escape the real world and simply laugh at silly jokes. When the interviewer mentioned the recent crossover between comedy and politics, Gaffigan responded, "People are coming to a show to have a break from some of this drama. That’s not to say there aren’t great comedians who talk about social commentary. The spirit of George Carlin is very important."  And he recalled his political jokes after President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 not landing how he'd imagined. COMEDIAN DUSTY SLAY REVEALS HOW FAITH AND SOBRIETY PAVED THE ROAD TO HIS STAND-UP SUCCESS "I remember when Trump was first elected, and my opening act had some political jokes.

Prosecutors on Friday presented their final witness in the federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club on Sept. 15, 2024.

McGreevy read aloud a handwritten note Routh allegedly left in a box at Lazaro Plata’s home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The note began: "Dear World, .. This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you... it’s up to you now to complete the job." The letter also mentioned a $150,000 reward. McGreevy testified that bank transfers showed Routh had the money to pay that sum.
