Deion Sanders has addressed his brief social media squabble from last week that led to quite a stir in the college football world. However, his main reason behind engaging to begin with is a bit weak, to say the least.

The stir on social media began when Shedeur Sanders criticized a former Buffalo player who he claimed to not remember. That player, Xavier Smith, was featured in a piece on “The Athletic” chronicling the massive transfer portal exodus from Colorado during Coach Prime’s first season with the program.

In a recent interview for “Thee Pregame Show,” Sanders was asked about the incident and admitted his response ultimately stemmed from being “bored.” He also claimed one of his comments on social media was taken out of context in the fallout.

“Most of the time, I let it go. Yesterday I was bored. Like c’mon, y’all want to do this? Let’s do this! I cant go in my mind and go at them with my mind because my mind is a killer,” said Sanders. “It’s going to make you hurt.

“I try my best to refrain, but when you posted stats I said ‘Lawd Jesus,’ like he really went at him. He really shot him. That’s what I meant, and I think that was taken wrong. I think that was taken sideways.”

As for the individual who referenced Shedeur, Deion said he responded for real when his son was involved though acknowledging he needs to do a better job with things like that. He offered up one final explanation — or excuse — that he didn’t say anything hurtful or attack anyone.

“But the other one who came at Shedeur, now I came back. That was me, like my baby is going top 5, what about you? That was real,” Sanders explained. “I’ve got to do better and not ride with that, but I was bored. And I didn’t say nothing hurtful, I don’t attack people.”

Ultimately, these types of interactions aren’t going to define Colorado’s 2024 season, but it’s still questionable for a head coach at a power program to be “bored” coming off a 4-8 season and with a recruiting class ranked 63rd per the 247 Sports Composite.
