The college football 2024 kickoff is at its peak. But who cares? At least not Colorado Buffaloes HC Deion Sanders. Coach Prime got busy pulling NFL legend Shannon Sharpe’s legs. The cause? Obviously, it had to be about the recent mess that Sharpe got himself into, the NSFW live that went viral on September 18, Wednesday.

While Deion Sanders had been busy for so long, he finally got time to address the issue and made the most out of it. From the conversation, the strong bond between the duo emerged as Sharpe gave a shoutout to Deion’s QB son after their heroic win against the UCF Knights.

Well, Coach Prime had been waiting for his turn for quite a long time it seems. No, it had got to do nothing with winning or losing games, instead, something far beyond the game. In a live podcast with Sharpe, the Buffs HC unleashed his sarcastic side and went straightway to roast the NFL legend, “I ain’t getting my turn. Everybody else got their turn.” But what’s the big fuss all about?

On Wednesday, an intimate live video came up from Sharpe’s profile. Going by the clip’s tawdry nature, even though the Denver Broncos legend has a fan following of 3.2 million, the video garnered 6.4 million views. That’s why Deion went like showing his fake concern going all sarcastic when with his signature wide grin. The Buffs HC shared, “I was sincerely worried, cared, concerned…I just wanted to know you were alright.”

Right after the incident, the NFL star took to X stating, “Beware my @shannonsharpe84 Instagram was hacked this morning, my team and I are working vigorously to figure this out.” Though the post later got deleted later on, he came up with, “My phone wasn’t hacked, it wasn’t a prank, it was me being a healthy, active male.” But Deion hardly cares since Sharpe has been the Buffs’ greatest supporter.

Shannon Sharpe’s sings in Shedeur’s praise

After faltering massively with the O-line during their week 4 matchup against Baylor, Deion had to ace up the Buffs’ offense game.“We gotta protect Shedeur. We do know that like we do every week, but we gotta stop the D run,” assured Coach Prime during the podcast with Romi Bean. And as promised, he oomphed up the O-line and came with unusual protection for Shedeur during their game against the UCF Knights. 

And no doubt, the Buffs QB came off with flying colors gifting the Buffs fans with 290 yards and 2 touchdowns. Here arrived Sharpe who did not hesitate to throw in his two cents. “Look, they did a great job of protecting Shedeur…they dominated this game,” stated Sharpe on the Nightcap podcast.

The Broncos legend did not stop at this and continued, “This was the most complete game they’ve played maybe since Prime has been there.” And what did Shannon Sharpe get in return? Deion Sanders’ pretentious compassion. But he too knows their connection could withstand any disaster. 

Besides the tea spillers, in case you want some insights on topics like NIL and NFL, you can find them in the latest episode of the Think Tank podcast.
