Following a statement, season-opening win over No. 17 TCU, Colorado coach Deion Sanders made sure to call out everyone who doubted him and his team in the media. And, as Sanders’s post-game comments went viral, longtime sports journalist Jeff Pearlman appeared to not take too kindly to Sanders’s words.
Pearlman, who has both covered and criticized Sanders in the past, shared a pointed message to Coach Prime in defense of his colleagues after he asked reporters, including ESPN’s Ed Werder, if they believed in CU after his debut victory.
“Didn’t realize we, the media, were supposed to be cheering for the teams we cover,” Pearlman wrote Saturday night in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
