    Deion Sanders: Some reporters are ‘really mad’ Colorado didn’t lose to North Dakota State

    Deion Sanders has been scrappy with the media in recent weeks, and the trend continued after his Colorado team won its season opener against North Dakota State on Thursday night.

    One of the feuds Sanders has had was with CBS, and there was a time where he refused to field a question from CBS’ Colorado affiliate.

    The CBS feud has since been smoothed over, and during the postgame press conference after the Buffaloes defeated the Bison 31-26, Sanders sought a question from CBS Colorado reporter Romi Bean, who he hosts a weekly show with.

    Bean asked Sanders about beating a team like North Dakota State that doesn’t make unforced errors, which Sanders answered before directing his attention to alleged haters in the media.

    “Well, you gotta understand that we knew that we had tremendous amount of athletes that we knew was going to be tough covering them on the backend,” Sanders told reporters.

    “And the way with Sheduer and his accuracy , we know that was going to be tough on them. We just had to hold them and get stops so we could get the ball. I think they almost tripled us in time of possession in the first half, so we didn’t really get the ball much, but we knew that was going to turn once we made the adjustments defensively so we could get some stops.”

    The pivot toward calling out the answer came when Sanders said that it’s about wins and losses, not margin of victory.

    “And that’s what we did, but we knew they weren’t gonna lay down,” he continued.

    “We wanted to win decisively, and if we hadn’t given up that last touchdown, it would’ve looked better, but we’re not for looks, man. It’s a W or an L. That’s what you remember. You guys can pick it apart — and you ladies, I apologize — all you want, but you’re here for the W or the L. Some of you are upset that we got a W. Some of you are really mad that we didn’t get the L. So, god bless you all, you’ll have to wait again ’till next week…

    “Y’all be safe on the way home, please?”

    Other feuds Sanders has had with the media of late include banning a Denver Post columnist from asking questions at press conferences, and a heated back-and-forth with ESPN broadcaster Paul Finebaum.
