ESPN’s Paul Finebaum levels savage diss at ‘irrelevant’ Colorado football program

ESPN’s Paul Finebaum has built his career on not mincing words — something that was on full display on July 15 when he delivered a savage diss to the Colorado football program.

“Colorado isn’t important in college football,” Finebaum said from SEC Media Days. “(Colorado head coach) Deion Sanders is. He’s a standalone person … he’s one of the most charismatic people we’ve ever seen. But Colorado is nothing. They don’t matter. They’re irrelevant in the big picture.”

Finebaum, speaking from SEC Media Days, pointed out that the only players the average fan could name on the roster are quarterback Shedeur Sanders and wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter, although he didn’t refer to either by their names.

Colorado went 4-8 in 2023 in Deion Sanders’ first season as head coach after starting the season 3-0. The Buffaloes open the season on Aug. 29 at home against North Dakota State.
