When he played, University of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders was known as a showman. More than just a great player, Sanders had to have all eyes on him at all times.
Since becoming a coach, nothing has changed. Sanders insists on drawing attention to himself and then going on the defensive when he’s under the spotlight and under scrutiny. The latest came during a press conference when Sanders shut down multiple members of the media including a reporter from the Denver Post and a CBS reporter. Reporter Eric Christensen tried to ask his question but when he let Sanders know he was affiliated with a local CBS outlet, Sanders went on the defensive.
“CBS, I’m not doing nothing with CBS,” the Colorado head coach said. “Next question. Ain’t got nothing to do with you, it’s above that. Ain’t got nothing to do with you. I’ve got love for you, I appreciate and respect you. Ain’t got nothing to do with you. They know what they did.”
Coach prime is not taking ANY QUESTIONS from CBS outlets anymore…

It isn’t clear exactly why Sanders got so bent out of shape about CBS but it might be due to an article they wrote where the questioned the validity of a video Colorado put out. The video shows Sanders’ son Shedeur, also the Buffaloes quarterback throwing a touchdown pass from two different angles. The questions came as people questioned whether or not the video was of a single play or two edited together.
