Shedeur Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes football program bring a lot of criticism on themselves.
They talk a big game and, if the 2023 season is any indication, often struggle to back it up.
But on Thursday, Sanders and the Buffs caught a stray from an unlikely source: the PGA Tour.

The banter comes after the Buffaloes posted a practice video on social media of Sanders throwing a touchdown pass with the caption “Darts Only.”
But the video appeared as if it had been edited to show Sanders throwing a different touchdown pass than the one he let go.
Ultimately, Colorado went full Zapruder and released several angles of the video. The new footage didn’t deter anyone from making fun of the original, however.
The new video from the PGA Tour shows stars such as Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods hitting shanks, only for the video to cut midway through the show the ball going either in or near the hole.
“I’m here for any content that cooks @CUBuffsFootball,” one person tweeted.
While another took a much more positive spin on things.
“Darts only meme is the biggest win for Colorado football in a decade,” they wrote.
The meme ultimately comes at a good time for the Buffs. It overshadows a report that suggests “fights, guns, and money” have taken over the Colorado locker room.
“It’s like a real-life Grand Theft Auto video game,” an anonymous former player told Athlon Sports. “There are many distractions with fights, guns, and money floating around. The environment is unlike any I’ve come from before.”
Compared to those allegations, people making fun of a potentially edited social media video is a walk in the park.
Colorado begins the 2024 season in exactly three weeks against North Dakota State. And a strong showing on the field would go a long way toward silencing the haters.
