On Tuesday, Deion Sanders once again managed to shoehorn his name into the news cycle for reasons that have nothing to do with football.
Hebecause they are "jealous" that the players in question now make more money than media members. On Wednesday, Paul Finebaum responded on ESPN.with Stephen A. Smith, Molly Qerim and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo. He slammed Sanders and called him "spineless" while taking issue with his attack of journalism.
"Deion, right there, was purely gaslighting. Really unbecoming of his stature and status. He knows that's not true. The people that cover college football have been arguing vociferously for years to get more autonomy for players. So they can make more money, so they can't be treated the same way they've always have. For him to say that is just really specious. It's baseless, and quite frankly it looks to me like he's living in an alternative universe.
"And to use the word 'slander'? That is so far beyond the pale because the majority of the media lift these players up. They don't tear them down... I frankly don't have any earthly idea where he came up with it. I think it's desperation and it's entirely spineless of him to attack the media who has not even attacked his players."Sanders's Buffaloes are 2–1 on the season and rank 11th in the Big 12 entering play this weekend.
