Deion Sanders kicked off his second season at Colorado with a combative news conference Friday when he also celebrated his 57th birthday and became a grandfather.
Donning his signature shades and a Buffaloes baseball cap, Sanders started things off by thanking the person who left a card and several packages of fried pastries at the microphone.
“Trying to get my six-pack, I can’t eat these honeybuns,” he cracked in what would be the lightest moment of his 30-minute news conference, which he would conclude by professing his love for “85% of you.”
Sanders didn’t detail the source of his frustrations, but there have been a couple of reports from outlets outside Colorado this offseason that painted his program in a less than positive light.
His testy exchanges highlighted the session at Colorado’s annual fall sports media day, which is typically a day of positivity and hope.
