Coach Prime can’t take the heat.
The University of Colorado has informed the Denver Post that coach Deion Sanders will no longer answer questions from columnist Sean Keeler. Colorado attributed the decision to “a series of sustained, personal attacks” in Keeler’s coverage of the program.
Pressed for evidence to support the conclusion, a staff member in the Colorado sports information office said the Keeler has used phrases such as “false prophet,” “Deposition Deion,” “Planet Prime,” “Bruce Lee of B.S.,” “the Deion Kool-Aid” and “circus” in reference to Sanders and the program.
The fact that Colorado felt compelled to issue a statement to the Post is a surprise. Deion already froze Keeler out during a recent press conference, along with others from media outlets he has deemed to not be sufficiently compliant.
It really is a bunch of crap. Deion doesn’t want to be scrutinized, by anyone. He thinks the media covering the team should support the program, too. Without expressing any criticism or asking any tough questions. Even when criticism or tough questions are required.

Sounds like Sean Keeler is a little punk who would get his a$$ kicked within side of 2 seconds in an NFL locker room. Good for Deion. The press can dish but can’t take.
Its all just a bunch of who cares...its college football that really doesn’t a\mount to a hill of beans...
Unless Sanders is actually taking a whip to players that mis-tackle, or drop a ball, then local press might want to support their team, you know, rah-rah...and all that stuff.
I mean really, what deep down gritty story is there in a sports ball team? All on RFKjr’s cocaine? That might be a story...all juiced up—another possible entertaining story—otherwise X’s and O’s are a little boring...
Handle the sports “reporters” like Bill Parcells used to.
There are a ton of independent real journalists. To win this war, the MSM has to be destroyed because they are trying to destroy us.
Sports reporters are all lefty ahoes. Screw the access media.
DEION
TOO MANY NASTY “JOURNALISTS” today.
*Sounds like Sean Keeler is a little punk who would get his a$$ kicked within side of 2 seconds in an NFL locker room. Good for Deion. The press can dish but can’t take.*
*This points to Deion trying to swing back at the reporter and publicly humiliate him. Seems petty.*
See my post #9.
Most of the main “journalism” has degenerated into bands of lefty political apparatchiks.
So we have the conservative Sanders lambasted by the liberal newspaper. I wouldn’t take it, either.
Sanders conservative? Perhaps. I dunno.
I have no dog in this hunt, but *IF* Keeler actually did use those phrases listed (which I don’t know for myself), then I’d be with Sanders. There’s a HUGE difference between unnecessary personal attacks like those, and the “any criticism” or “tough questions” that the Denver Post writer Mike Florio has his knickers in a wad over. But I freely admit I have no tolerance for “journalist” bias to begin with.
It’s schoolgirlesque to hide from the scrutiny. Take the bull by the horns and be a man. Face the naysayers.
Except the guy doesn’t scrutinize him, just calls him names. And really there isn’t a football program in the country that hasn’t revoked somebody’s press credentials because the coach, or AD, or some player’s mom just didn’t like him. It’s just part of the business, and now this gets to write a “scathing” column about how Deion thinks he’s a dumbass. See. Win win.
Jerry hasn’t picked well since the 90s :)
But you’re right lol
Bummer. Just did a followup. It’s on ProFootballTalk. It was taken down. Mods couldn’t handle it.
