“Shedeur Sanders had his jersey number retired at Colorado this year, and people are saying it’s because of nepotism, because of his father, and it’s not” Gillis said. “It’s because he went 13-12 over his career, and he almost won the Alamo Bowl. Definitely not nepotism, right?”

Comedian Shane Gillis jokes about Shedeur Sanders at the ESPYs. Gillis targets Sanders' jersey retirement at Colorado. He questions if it is due to nepotism. Colorado retired Sanders' jersey after his second season.

The ESPYs are the biggest sports award show that isn't focused on just one sport. They're basically the Oscars, but all about sports. Similar to the Oscars, a host is tasked with presenting an opening monologue that introduces everyone to the show and then guides the program through the rest of the night.
