Stefon always Digging himself into holes

YOU DON’T think we live in a different world than pro athletes?

What seems exceedingly stupid to many was somewhat predictable from Stefon Diggs — a talented WR now with the Texans, his third NFL team.

He was traded by the Vikings after being fined for missing practices and a deteriorating relationship with the team. With the Bills last year, he remained a conspicuously all-about-me guy. He was fined nearly $14,000 for spraying beer on fans during a touchdown celebration in the stands.

His first act with the Texans was to pay new teammate, safety Jimmie Ward, $100,000 for his No. 1 jersey.

He bought a shirt for $100,000.

➤ Did you know this year’s A’s, of all miserable franchises, are loaded with great pitchers?

Oh yeah, Thursday the A’s beat the world champion Rangers, 1-0, onehitting the Rangers behind four pitchers. The A’s, striking out 14 times, tried to lose it but ran out of time.

➤ Mike “Sitting Bull” Francesa “had to confess” on his gamblingsponsored podcast last week: He made a prop bet, and wouldn’t you know it, he cashed and cashed big!

As can be seen and heard from the @BackAftaThis account on X, run by a fellow who takes great joy in exposing Francesa as a bloated liar, Francesca claimed to have bet Francisco Lindor to homer. And wham, Lindor did just that.

Odd, no one can recall Francesa ever in his long and boastful career ever touting a prop bet on an individual player — at least not before the game.

As @BackAftaThis noted, this brings his lifetime record to “7,441-0 in games that have already concluded.”

➤ Does the University of Colorado not have the authority to tell Deion Sanders no?

Sanders has added, vulgar, career reprobate Warren Sapp to his coaching staff. In addition to being suspended and a frequently flagged and fined slug — Sapp’s specialty was instigating fights during pregame warm-ups — he lost his NFL Network gig to being an on air pig.

His arrest record includes solicitation of a prostitute and domestic battery (both charges were later dropped), and though he spent a fortune on himself, he filed bankruptcy, lost his mansion and was behind on his child support payments.

Now Sapp can join Sanders, who also claims he takes his orders from God, in mentoring young men.

And that’s all good with the University of Colorado.
