After Deion Sanders, Colorado's Warren Sapp refuses to take questions from a CBS reporter during press conference

In a thorny news conference last week, Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders refused to answer questions from different reporters due to perceived slights. Ahead of a pivotal first season in the Big 12 for the Buffs and their charismatic coach, the clip drew mixed reactions from fans.

On Wednesday, Colorado graduate assistant Warren Sapp followed in Sanders' footsteps. He ignored a question by Denver Post reporter Sean Keeler while speaking to the media.

The outspoken Sanders who never forgets a slight accused Keeler of writing unflattering stories about the Buffaloes. And it seems like the Denver Post reporter is persona non-grata in Boulder.

What did Deion Sanders say to the reporters in viral clip?

During a news conference held last week, Deion Sanders went viral for how he handled two reporters. The first reporter was Eric Christensen of CBS Colorado whom the Buffaloes coach dismissed with barely another look.

“CBS,” Sanders said to Christensen. “I’m not doing nothing with CBS. Next question. It ain’t got nothing to do with you. It’s above that. It ain’t got nothing to do with you. I got love for you. I appreciate you. I respect you. It ain’t got nothing to do with you. They know what they did.

“You are who you are. CBS is CBS. It ain’t got nothing to do with you. I respect you. That’s why I told you that, I’m looking you in the eye as a man. I respect you. I got love for you, but what they did was foul.”

Next, Sanders went after Sean Keeler of the Denver Post, accusing him of writing anti-Colorado stories.

“Why do you not like us? You don’t like us, man. Why do you do this to yourself?... No, I’m serious,” Sanders asked Keeler.

At first, Coach Prime was speculated to have a grudge against CBS Sports for an article that ranked him as the second-worst coach in the Big 12. Further, that article had called him "more of an entertainer than a coach."

On3 analyst Philip Dukes explained on an On3 podcast where the tirade against CBS by Sanders stemmed from. He suggested that a stalled joint project with the broadcaster, which the Buffs coach had put significant effort into, was behind his stance.
