Deion Sanders continues to escalate his ongoing feud with the media, making waves once again after Colorado’s first game of the season.
Just two weeks ago, Sanders stirred controversy when he confronted several local media members during a press conference, expressing his displeasure with what he perceived as unfair treatment. The situation escalated further when Sanders decided to ban a reporter from the Denver Post from asking questions, citing “a series of personal attacks” directed at him as the reason for the restriction.
Fast forward to Thursday, and Sanders had more to say after his team, the Colorado Buffaloes, secured a gritty win against FCS powerhouse North Dakota State in their season opener. Despite the hard-fought victory, Sanders couldn’t resist using his postgame press conference as a platform to take another jab at the media.
“Some of you are upset that we got the W, some of you are really mad that we didn’t get the L,” Sanders quipped, addressing the reporters in the room. “God bless y’all, you’ll have to wait again until next week.”

Sanders’ comments reflect his belief that some in the media are rooting against him and his team, an idea he’s hinted at before. This latest shot is just another chapter in the ongoing tension between Sanders and the press, a storyline that has followed him throughout his coaching career at Colorado.
The win over North Dakota State may have been the first of the season, but it’s clear that Sanders is already in midseason form when it comes to defending his team and firing back at his critics.
As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how this dynamic continues to play out, especially if the Buffaloes continue to find success on the field. For now, Sanders seems content to keep his detractors at bay, one victory—and one press conference—at a time.
