Play calling at the end was bad, no doubt. But if you haven’t noticed, Deon doesn’t call plays for his offense. His refusal to throw his OC under the bus is a smart play.

You know, I started this season excited about Deion Sanders running Colorado. But I don’t know if the combination of black culture dysfunction coupled with and bolstered by media dysfunction will sink my interest.

Deion is beginning to come across to me as a guy who thinks everyone is against him and people want him to lose. Big chip on his shoulder. No good. I think that could be a fatal flaw because you’re defined not by others but by your own attitude about yourself and what you’re doing.

It means that if valid correction or good-faith criticism comes his way, he may reject it out of hand because “they are against me and want me to fail.” That attitude could even hinder valid self-correction/criticism. Bad news. It turns me off and dissipates my enthusiasm for this whole thing with Deion and Colorado. Gives it a bad taste for me.

One big black culture dysfunction is their attitude that someone else has the power to define who they are. Blacks have a tendency to not own who they are. It’s “someone else’s fault”. I thought (and hoped) Deion was from a different cut of cloth. Sadly, I’m not so sure.

Deion was probably my favorite football player of all time to watch in terms of pure talent and skill. Loved to watch that guy. Apparently those negative attitudes were either latent and/or didn’t keep him from being a top performer. But those attitudes could sink him now and sink my interst as well.
