The fact that Stephen A is essentially telling Deion to grow up and ignore the criticism is crazy considering he attacks everyone who criticizes him

SAS got some nerve to say someone should have thicker skin

[HappyGrouch]

*Shocks me nobody actually researched what happened… The dork would ask “How was practice today, coach Prime would answer… Then, that dork goes home and calls Coach prime all kinds of names, says he's stealing money from the school. Then the next day smiles in coach Primes face, and asks how the DB room looks, coach answers, but he goes home and writes about how awful of a person coach is and how he's ruining bolder. So, coach calmly asks him “Why” and his response was “I have bills to pay, you didn't do anything”… then he goes home and writes a HORRIBLE bs article about Coach. Coach never yelled at him, never called him out of his name. He asked “why” and “what happened for you to hate us so much”. For some strange reason, nobody actually took the time to see what happened. The interaction was recorded. But people have spun this wild narrative smh. Sad that the same people that praised the South Carolina coach for obliterating a reporter and refusing to answer his questions are now bashing Coach Prime for this smh just proves so many points that are actually sad that they are being proven smh I thought our country was getting better*

Ok, he has a right to write whatever he wants and it’s also Prime’s right to not deal with him.

When Molly makes more sense than SAS then you know something wrong

[marthalewis]

SAS, Nick Saban did address local reporters like that—you just didn’t hear about it. I personally know of two who were banned, and they had to send someone else. So, let’s not pretend it didn’t happen.

SAS has been mad at Prime for a while lately. He made a whole segment on his podcast about Shedeur celebration. Prime didn’t do nothing wrong, he told the guy that he’s not taking questions until he talk to him after the interview because the guy didn’t want to answer Prime questions live. Go watch the interview and you’ll see how they’re over exaggerating. Unc stood his ground behind his dawg and I love it.

[kwsimmons]

Oh look SAS being a friend to Deion. 😂😂 If SAS your friend, you don’t need enemies.

[odrizzle]

It’s funny Stephen A Smith didn’t have 1/10 the patience with Jason Whitlock he criticizing Deion Sanders for.

[kennethhudson]

Steven A. With Friends Like You Coach Prime Don't Need No Enemies!!😡

[JuiceIsChillin]

ESPN knew what they were doing with putting Paul on here 😂😂😂😂

[MercyMe]

Finebaum answered his own question. He said he didn't know why the columnist said what he did then in the next breath said that Deion Sanders is a gigantic figure, a larger-than-life personality who has made a fortune throughout his career. That's his reason, but Finebaum knows that because that's why he criticizes CP too. I can't with him.

Colorado just has to win. Plain and Simple.

[whadupfoo]

Multiple reporters in Colorado have said they knew this was going to happen. Keeler earned this due to his personal attacks. The Denver post released this info not the program. It’s trolls looking for clicks. Not reporting but personal attacks.

[Lukejr]

Stephen A agreeing with Finebaum his massa, hating on Primetime

[Kandidat]

I wish NFL Teams would do that too...there are some local guys out there, who should be held responsible for the stuff they put out there, especially on Social Media.

[amsf]

He's a grown successful man. He can do whatever he wants. I love it. No fake smiles and appealing to people who don't want you to succeed.

[jhkjr]

The sports press has too much power and Coach Prime checked it. The presss doesnt like it and no press member wants Coach Prime to win. If other coaches tell the press they don't want to talk to any press member who is negative, the press wont like it. Keeler was negative and went back and wrote a good article about the Colorado program. He has been negative about Colorado for a long time, before Sanders got there.

[orochimaru]

Molly had a great push back on Stephen A.

[KeoniProductions]

They didn't personally attack Nick Saban.
