Deion Sanders has been a game-changer for the Colorado Buffaloes ever since he took the helm. After the team struggled to a 1-11 record in 2022, Sanders turned things around, leading them to a 4-8 record in 2023 and a strong 9-4 record last season. His larger-than-life persona and coaching prowess have turned heads and brought hope to Boulder. Now, as he enters his fifth year as a college coach-and his first without his son, Shedeur Sanders, on the roster-the focus is shifting. The praise he once received for turning the team around is now overshadowed by accusations that he’s strong-arming the media and keeping a tight lid on information about Shedeur.
Deion Sanders From Turnaround to Controversy
Whispers about Sanders’s media tactics have grown into a roar. Critics say he has journalists walking on eggshells, afraid to investigate his or his son’s story. During an appearance on the Maggie and Perloff show, draft expert Lance Zierlein dropped a bombshell, saying, “The media is scared of Deion-at least the national folks on TV. They’re terrified of the backlash from him and his fans online.”
Zierlein pointed to Shedeur’s messy pre-draft process, suggesting that Deion’s influence may have muddied the waters. From a questionable game IQ to misjudging his own value, Shedeur’s mistakes were obvious-yet Deion has somehow avoided criticism. This has led people to question whether he is bulletproof or simply adept at controlling the press.
Shedeur’s Draft Drop: Curse or Covert Win?
Perhaps this explains Shedeur Sanders’s draft tumble. Once projected as a first-round pick, possibly even a top-10 selection, he fell all the way to the fifth round, stretching into the draft’s final day. To me, it’s a silver lining. First, it kept the media buzzing-less about who went early and more about Shedeur’s slide, which boosted his name recognition.
Second, he dodged the heat of a QB1 spotlight. If he had been drafted in the first round, the pressure would have been intense. Now, with Cleveland, he’s not expected to start in Week 1. However, with their quarterback carousel, he’ll get his shot. If he seizes the opportunity, he could secure the position and change the narrative.
Sanders’ media maneuvering might have played a role here, intentionally or not. By dodging tough questions, he’s kept Shedeur’s flaws out of the spotlight, setting him up for a slower burn in the NFL. As Deion faces a season without his star quarterback, the Buffaloes’ fortunes-and his own reputation-hang in the balance. Can he keep the magic alive, or will the cracks in his media shield start to show?

Mets locker room is reportedly broken beyond repair
Internal tensions at the New York Mets have come to light just as the team is going through its most unstable moment of the season.

Several reports point to a fragmented locker room and a team that, beyond losing games, has begun to lose confidence.In recent weeks, the situation has gone from uncomfortable to worrying. The team, which had a solid winning record just a few days ago, has accumulated losses and a tense atmosphere that is already being felt from the bench.

WNBA accused of wanting to destroy Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever of sabotaging its star: What’s going on?
DeWanna Bonner's reluctance to rejoin the Indiana Fever has sparked fears the WNBA isn't supporting Caitlin Clark as much as they should do, with some going as far as to accuse the WNBA of attempting to sabotage her rise as the sport's breakout star.The controversy began when it was reported that Bonner, who has been absent from play since June 10 due to personal reasons, has no interest in rejoining Indiana and instead, is reportedly seeking a move to either the Phoenix Mercury or Atlanta Dream.

“Canelo is next”: Jake Paul provokes Mexican boxing with pinatas and threats
Jake Paul has built his career on the edge between provocation and ambition. After sneaking into the boxing world with a history of media rivals and exhibition fights, the influencer and former YouTuber is now positioning himself as a disruptive figure who demands to be taken seriously. Ahead of his fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on Saturday, June 28, Paul decided to turn up the heat with one of his well-known media stunts: appearing on social media hitting pinatas with the faces of Chavez Jr. and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.The scene was as theatrical as it was symbolic. Wearing a charro hat, sarape and maracas, Jake Paul parodied Mexican culture as he punched pinatas as if he were already in the ring. The video quickly went viral, but its intention was clear: to show that Chavez Jr. is just another […]
