July 10, 20241 yr How did he grade out at DB? What little I watched of him at WR and nothing really stood out as elite. He's a great athlete, but he didn't show off anything that makes me think he's anything other than a good productive WR.

July 10, 20241 yr He may be top ten if he picked a position and stuck with it. He got torched by a nobody from Stanford. That doesn’t scream elite to me.

July 11, 20241 yr It's so cringe when guys who are old enough to have grandchildren are constantly forcing teenage vernacular into every comment they make.
July 11, 20241 yr Cringe when the HC of a major university can't write basic English...and is also full of shit.

Pele, Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Phelps, Ronaldo, Maradona, Hank Aaron, Kobe, Tiger, Jerry Rice, Nolan Ryan, Walter Payton, Kareem the Dream, Barry Sanders, Joe Montana, Mike Tyson and because "that's my one, that's my one" Rocky mother fucking Marciano.

He was treated horrifically by a giant segment of the public for years and he’s on the short list of athletes who are 100% justified in being bitter about his general treatment by the public/“fans.” Holy shit.

Nowhere did I say at the time of his play or during his career. Similar comments could be made for a variety of people on my list. Pele for example certainly had some detractors in his day as did Ali who I shamefully neglected to include. I would say, TODAY, both are among the most famous and embraced athletes globally of all time. That said, let me know if you think, in today's world (you know the time frame for which my message was intended), Deon Sanders is more embraced than Hank Aaron.

August 5, 20241 yr Well, seems like they're 2/3 of the way there - got the money and the guns. Wouldn't surprise me if the lawyers were lurking in there somewhere. Wait... do bankruptcy lawyers count?

It’s all cringe.

Nobody wants to have an actual discussion, you all just want to pile on. so you can do so without me. I don't want the guy to fail. I don't want CU to burn down. It just seems pretty obvious to me that his tactics (which apparently include a lack of program oversight) have inherent faults to building sustainable success. Otherwise, I have no qualms here. It would be great (to me) for Deion to prove everyone wrong. However, it just seems like we've seen this movie before; and the ending doesn't match the promise of the start.

Receipts, galore.
August 5, 20241 yr I spend July in the mountains just southeast of Boulder. Played golf 4 times in Boulder. Each time I got paired with a few current CU students and alumni. Every time I asked about Deoin, they all loved what he's doing. Their reasoning is that they were absolute shit before, at least they are getting publicity. None believed Deoin was self serving. I didn't want to be a dick and argue. Will be fun to watch this Titanic program crash into Deoin's own ego and sink like a rock.
August 5, 20241 yr My oldest kid toured CU last week and the stupid guide wouldn't shut up about Deion ("Coach Prime"). He's definitely got a cult-like following there.
