Rob Parker Calls on the Media to Freeze Out Deion Sanders and Colorado

Watch Rob Parker of Fox Sports Radio’s The Odd Couple call out Deion Sanders and Colorado football for banning Denver Post columnist Sean Keeler from asking Sanders questions at press conferences this season in retaliation to Sanders not liking opinions Keeler wrote about the program in his Denver Post columns.

Check out the segment above as Parker denounces Sanders and calls on the rest of the media covering Colorado to defend Keeler by outright refusing to cover Colorado football, saying if Keeler is not allowed to do his job then the media should freeze out Sanders altogether in protest and give the program zero exposure.

Rob Parker: “This story is near and dear to me because I’m a dyed in the wool reporter... This story from Colorado, Deion, the university, and a columnist there just bothers the hell out of me. As mad as I am at Deion and the university, I’m more upset at the reporters who work there in Colorado and work for the Buffaloes.

Robert Guerra [reading the report]: “Colorado football has informed The Denver Post that Deion Sanders and anyone else within their football program will no longer take questions from columnist Sean Keeler. In a statement sent to The Post, Colorado said that they have received a series of sustained personal attacks in Keeler’s coverage of the program. When asked for specific examples on how they were 'personally attacked' by Keeler, they referenced a handful of stories that used phrases such as ‘false prophet’, ‘deposition Deion’, ‘Planet Prime’, ‘The Bruce Lee of BS’, ‘The Deion Kool-Aid', and describing the program as a ‘circus.’

Parker: “Here’s why I’m mad... Deion and Colorado – shame on them. Big babies. Do you remember when Colorado won their very first game last year? What did Deion do? He called out Ed Werder. Here’s problem... Forget Colorado, forget the football team... If you’re members of the media, not only from The Denver Post , but from all the newspapers, TV, and radio stations that cover the football team – they should refuse to cover Colorado football if they’re going to exclude a columnist from doing his job. They have every right not to answer a question from that guy. You can say to me ‘no comment’ and I have to respect that. There’s a difference between letting a guy do his job and you not participating, but when you tell a guy that he can’t do his job or he can’t be around, if you’re a member of the media not working for The Denver Post and you’re working for another outlet, if you allow Deion and Colorado to do this to a columnist?? The stuff that he said is nothing. That’s what columnists do.

There was once a general manager in Detroit named Jerry Walker. His big thing was he couldn’t get pitching for the Tigers. I gave him the nickname ‘Dr. Do-Little.’ Randy Smith was another Tigers general manager. I gave him the nickname ‘Rancid Randy’. Anything he touched just turned to goo. As a columnist, that is the poetic license you get -- your opinion to be witty. People have a right to not talk to me or answer my question – that's fine, but to single out a guy and tell him that he can’t participate or ask any questions is unheard of, and the rest of the media cannot allow this to happen.”
