Deion Sanders Brushes Off Comment Made About Offering Money to Silence Critics, Says It Was a Joke
Sanders said the remark was a joke about critics profiting from his name as Colorado enters a 2-5 start.
- On Tuesday, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders dismissed reports he offered $50,000 to silence critics, clarifying the purported cash offer was a joke intended to highlight how media figures profit from discussing him.
- The speculation stemmed from a recent comment by YouTube content creator Christopher Neely, who claimed in a video that Sanders proposed paying critics $50,000 to avoid mentioning his name for one year.
- Addressing the media Tuesday, Sanders said, "I would love to give you money and not mention my name, and I want to see how far that goes," while noting his Buffaloes have dropped five consecutive games.
- Amid a difficult 2-5 start to the season, Sanders holds an 18-26 overall record at Colorado, as expectations for improvement have not been met following last year's 3-9 finish.
- The Buffaloes prepare for their upcoming game Saturday against Kansas State, hoping to break their five-game losing streak after the social media distraction surrounding the widely circulated $50,000 rumors.
