First-year Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders continues to capture the attention of the sports world. Injured Jets superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers knows what comes with being a polarizing sports figure.

Rodgers made his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" and discussed the aftermath of Colorado's blowout loss to the Oregon Ducks. Rodgers described coach Dan Lanning's locker room comments that appeared to be directed at buzz Sanders has brought to Colorado as an overreaction.

"It's classic overreaction on so many levels," Rodgers said.

Last week, ESPN cameras captured Lanning delivering a fiery speech before kickoff, saying the Buffaloes were merely "fighting for clicks."

"Rooted in substance … not flash … rooted in substance. Today, we talk with our pads." Lanning told the team in the locker room. "The Cinderella story is over man. They're fighting for clicks, we're fighting for wins. There's a difference."

Rodgers argued that some people want to see Sanders have a downfall because of the unprecedented amount of attention the Pro Football Hall of Famer has brought to Boulder.

"Deion has created a lot of buzz, and when you’re creating that much buzz, people want to see you fall," Rodgers told McAfee. "I applaud Deion because he sticks to his guns. He talks the talk, he walks the walk. He owns it when they get beat, and he's brought a lot of excitement to the Conference of Champions."

Rodgers also praised Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders — who is also Deion's son. The four-time NFL MVP also mentioned that he is rooting for a Pac-12 team to end up in the College Football Playoff.

After Saturday's 42-6 loss, Sanders said he believes teams are most focused on taking him down and forget he is no longer a football player.

"I don’t think there’s a target on our back, I think there’s just — teams are trying to beat me. They’re not trying to beat our team," Sanders said after Saturday's loss. "They keep forgetting I’m not playing anymore."

Colorado faces another tough test this Saturday when they host the No. 8 USC Trojans.

Police checked on Britney Spears' well-being Wednesday after the pop star shared a video of herself dancing with knives.

Spears twirled around her home holding two large knives while wearing a crop top and bikini bottoms. 

The video, which she shared on Instagram, prompted concern, and the Ventura County Sheriff's Department conducted a welfare check on the "Circus" singer, Fox News Digital confirmed.

Once the sheriff's department established from two independent sources Spears was not in any danger physically or emotionally, officials felt comfortable enough to clear the call without incident.

A representative for Spears did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

A member of the LAPD Smart Team, which deals with mental health calls, first flagged the concern to the Ventura County Sheriff's Department.

Spears shared the dancing video, writing, "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today !!! Don't worry they are NOT real knives !!!!" 

However, the knives made the typical clanking sound when she hit them together.

She later clarified the video, telling fans, "Lighten up about the knives I'm copying Shakira !!!"

This isn't the first time Spears has been checked on by police. In January, the "Toxic" singer called out fans for invading her privacy with a post shared to X, formerly Twitter.

"As everyone knows the police were called to my home based on some prank phone calls," Spears wrote. "I love and adore my fans but this time things went a little too far and my privacy was invaded."

Police never entered the home and "left immediately" after they realized there was "no issue" upon arrival, according to Spears.

"This felt like I was being gaslit and bullied once the incident made it to the news and being portrayed once again in a poor and unfair light by the media," she wrote.

Spears is dealing with her divorce from Sam Asghari. The model filed for divorce Aug. 16, citing "irreconcilable differences," according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

The couple's date of separation is listed as July 28, and Asghari asked for spousal support and attorney's fees in his filing.

Spears married Asghari at her Southern California home in June 2022 in front of guests who included Selena Gomez and Madonna. The wedding was seen as a milestone in her newly reclaimed life after she was freed from a court conservatorship that controlled her well over a decade.

The former couple first met on the set of the music video for her song "Slumber Party" in 2016. They began dating, and the pop star later cited a desire to marry Asghari as one of the reasons she fought to end the conservatorship, which had kept her from marrying the 29-year-old model.
