Deion Sanders called out ESPN’s Ed Werder following Colorado’s upset of TCU.
Sanders and Werder have a history going back to the Hall of Famer’s days in the NFL, especially in Dallas, and they conducted sit-down interviews together in the past.
Werder said it would not have been “journalistically appropriate” for him to answer the question and state whether he believes in Colorado, and Sanders knows that. “Fortunately, he realized it wasn’t going to happen and eventually he moved on without taking my question because if he was intent on waiting we’d still be there,” Werder said. “I don’t really understand: Why did it matter? In that moment, after all he and his sons and his coaching staff and players had accomplished …”
Werder noted how Sanders, despite being asked repeatedly by the journalist, could not cite the supposed “bull junk” he had wrote.Werder wondered if a March 23 tweet about the buzz at Colorado under its “celebrity” coach perhaps set off Sanders, although he asked how it made him a doubter. “Colorado’s celebrity football coach has made @CUBuffsFootball the most interesting program in the country,” Werder tweeted. “It’s No. 2 in merchandise sales, Folsom Field suites are sold out and season-ticket renewal rate stands at 97%. @DeionSanders has created attention before his first win.”
