Colorado Buffaloes: ESPN Analyst Calls Deion Sanders A Bully And A Hypocrite

Colorado continues to be one of the biggest stories in college football, and most of that concerns their head coach, Deion Sanders.

Sanders is the star of college football, and even though his first season at Colorado resulted in four wins after winning their first three games, he still talks like he’s the best thing in the sport. Last week, the former cornerback banned a Denver columnist from asking questions at his press conferences.

Sanders is not a fan of  Denver Post columnist Sean Keeler and how he has been covering him and the team. Keeler can no longer ask questions for Sanders or anyone else in the Buffaloes program.

Not letting Keeler ask questions because you don’t like how he covers the team seems very childish, and one former columnist and current ESPN college football analyst has some harsh words for the second-year Buffaloes head coach.

Colorado’s Deion Sanders Called Out By Paul Finebaum

ESPN’s Paul Finebaum was on Get Up Monday morning and did not have kind words for Sanders; the current talk show stated, “This is a trait of Deion Sanders. He wants to have it his way, and I find him to be a bully and a hypocrite… Treating reporters like this seems like we’re in some autocratic country. This is not America, and the fact that it’s in his contract is really even more absurd.”

Sanders has a clause in his contract that he is only required to speak to mutually agreed media, and Keeler does not fall under that clause, according to On3.com

Finebaum has the right to criticize how Sanders has banned reporters from answering questions and how he doesn’t have to take questions from certain people.

Sanders acts like he has won four national championships and has gone undefeated ten times as a coach, with how he acts towards people in the media and even his own players.

Colorado is heading for another tough season this year, and if Sanders doesn’t change his attitude, it will be a long year in Boulder.
