Deion Sanders calls out President Obama for dig at Colorado football roster
Deion Sanders and Colorado picked up a big win over Arizona on Saturday evening to move to 5-2 on the season.
It was an impressive win for the Buffs, who are still alive in the race for a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game as the calendar moves toward late October.
But after the game, Sanders briefly addressed some comments made by former United States President Barack Obama.
Obama, while speaking at a campaign event for Vice President Kamala Harris in Arizona earlier this week, noted that Colorado has “a couple of good players” before discussing Arizona’s record against the Buffs in recent seasons.
“Colorado’s got a couple of good players,” Obama said to the crowd in Arizona. “I also know you guys have beaten them twice in a row. Don’t bet against the Wildcats tomorrow.”
Sanders took exception — in mostly-friendly fashion, of course.
“President Obama is everything to me,” Sanders said. “I love him, I admire him, I respect him tremendously. But … I heard what he said, you know. President, I heard what you said, man. C’mon!
“That’s why I don’t really get into politics, I’m into people. Because politicians, they play the political game. And he was [in Arizona] and had to play the political game. So he said ‘they have 2 good players.’ We’ve got more than 2 good players!”

Colorado will host Cincinnati in Week 9.
Colorado wins. Hard to argue with results. Right, Hussein?
What did Dion expect, Obama like the average dem will always say whatever he thinks the crowd wants to hear, they really don’t mean what they say
I think you mean Former President Obama (obomo)
“President Obama is everything to me,” Sanders said.
Reggie Love vibes. Hope Big Mike doesn’t find out.
Arizona = swing state
Colorado = in the bag
Peon = thin skinned, no common sense loud mouth
Who cares about show boat sanders. He’ll choke like he always does.
