Watch Jason Whitlock of Blaze TV’s Fearless explain why Deion Sanders’ freeze out of Denver Post columnist Sean Keeler is just another example of Sanders’ incompetence when it comes to leading a major college football program.
Check out the segment above as Whitlock details how the media rallying around Keeler and admonishing Sanders, a media that at one time was trying to prop up Sanders as some sort of coaching prodigy, could be a death blow for Sanders’ future in Colorado, saying the media will start to grab their pitchforks for Prime if he keeps the Buffaloes in mediocrity this season.
Jason Whitlock: “Deion has finally picked a fight that’s going to cost him. He’s actually picked the wrong fight. He’s picked a fight with the media. This thing of him banning the reporter, Sean Keeler, is blowing up in Deion’s face, and it’s blown up in the University of Colorado’s face. Colorado is all in on this releasing a statement saying Sean Keeler of The Denver Post can’t ask Deion any questions for the year. This is a terrible mistake by Deion and the university. They’ve picked a war with the media. Deion is thinking ‘THE MEDIA NEEDS ME! I DRAW ALL THESE TV RATINGS! THEY ALL SUPPORTED ME LAST YEAR WHEN WE STARTED OUT 3-0! SPORTS ILLUSTRATED GAVE ME SPORTSPERSON OF THE YEAR EVEN THOUGH THE TEAM FINISHED IN LAST PLACE! I’M UNTOUCHABLE! IT’S ONLY IDIOTS LIKE JASON WHITLOCK THAT CRITICIZE ME! EVERYONE ELSE LOVES ME!’...
Deion, when you start denying access and the university starts putting out statements justifying you denying someone access to even ask you a question, that’s even a bridge too far for the corporate media. Who generally speaking, if Deion pulled his pants down and pooped in their face they’d be like ‘ OH, MY GOD, THAT’S THE BEST TASTING POOP EVER!’ ... Even a Stephen A. Smith has grown a pair and is taking shots at Deion Sanders.”
Stephen A. Smith: “I do not agree with how he’s handled this situation. I do not agree with how the Colorado program has handled this situation. And quite frankly, I’m a bit disappointed because you have to have thicker skin than that. If you don’t want to talk to the reporter, don’t talk to the reporter. But to have a program putting out a release announcing we are not going to take questions as a program from this guy, it’s utterly ridiculous.”
Paul Finebaum: “Prime is showing he is not ready for primetime. I find this whole thing to be disgraceful. Deion may want to talk about ‘love’ and ‘joy’, and that seems to be the cornerstone of what he seems to be spewing out, but treating reporters like this seems like we’re in some autocratic country. This is not America. The fact that it’s in his contract is even more absurd. Don’t forget, he did this at Jackson State. 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. I am mortified by his actions.”
David Dennis: “This is inexcusable and another example of dictatorial policy from Deion Sanders when it comes to journalists. At Jackson State, he banned a reporter for reporting on a domestic violence issue with one of the players. Now you have a situation where the school is backing him and banning somebody for writing columns about Deion Sanders as a coach. Colorado has a journalism department; it’s been there for 100 years. How do you look at those students and explain to them that you’re teaching ‘journalism’ when you have that same institution banning reporters for doing their job?”
Whitlock: “This is universal rebuke of Deion Sanders. I gotta say that I love to see it. These guys should have been here last year when he opened his TCU press conference after winning the game with ‘DO YOU BELIEVE NOW?!?’ ... The writing was on the wall. Deion is Frankenstein and the media created this Frankenstein. I think he’s picked a fight that he’s going to lose. The issue was Keeler’s references to Sanders as ‘deposition Deion’, ‘The Bruce Lee of BS’, a ‘false prophet’, ‘Planet Prime’, the ‘Deion Kool-Aid', and ‘circus’... It’s those words that got him banned. This is what gets you banned these days?? My career would have never gotten of the ground if it wasn’t for the derisive nicknames that I would come up with.
Deion has backed himself into a corner. He now HAS to win eight games. A 6-6 season, he’s going to get lit up. A 7-5 season I think he’s going to get criticized.
Deion lives in a protective bubble where he’s used his talents to write all the rules around him. The thing that’s harmful and dangerous is he’s setting a standard and setting a precedent that the overwhelming majority of his players, other than Travis Hunter, will never be in that position where they can rewrite all the rules around themselves because they have so much talent. Deion is a horrible role model, and this is why super talented people don’t make great leaders or great coaches because the rules and details have never really mattered to the super talented.”
