Defending Deion Sanders Costs Ex-NFL Player Spot on Show as Live Debate Turns Ugly

The Lil Wayne concert controversy has caused fissures in the college football landscape. This was on display when NFL veteran Matt McChesney stood in Deion Sanders’ defense. Let’s dig into what transpired on the Coach JB Show with Big Smitty.

While the Colorado alum believes passionately that the allegation brought against Coach Prime about the mandate was false, the co-host topped up with his view, taking the side of Shedeur. And BOOM!

The debate got nasty. McChesney refused to accept Big Smitty’s glorification of the QB when Lil Wayne is a catch by himself to keep the Buffs flocked together.

Tensions rise between McChesney and Big Smitty surrounding Lil Wayne’s concert

There already have been captivating twists surrounding the Lil Wayne concert narrative. Now that Deion Sanders has been blamed for holding the former Buffs at gunpoint over not attending the concert, here came McChesney with his opinion. Calling the ex-Buffs “spoiled grapes,” the Colorado alum stands firm in his belief to take anonymous sources with a grain of salt.

“I don’t think this is true I think it’s ridiculous like I really doubt that Coach Prime would mandate that the entire team go see Lil Wayne but why if you have Lil Wayne on campus, why wouldn’t you want to go see him?” came McChesney’s assured response. 

It was then Big Smitty dropped his insight. “Especially if your teammate too your quarterback is gonna be performing like before,” he said. Smitty’s attempt to give Shedeur due credit, putting Lil Wayne’s popularity into question, did not sit well with McChesney. The NFL veteran soon replied, “I don’t really give a sh*t about that part but Lil Wayne sounds appealing to me.” And with this, they both got into a heated argument that led to McChesney dropping off the call midway. To some extent, the Colorado alum’s POV seems to be true.   

Deion Sanders and Lil Wayne’s mutual admiration lifts ticket prices

“The Show” event, presented by Outback, featured appearances by BossMan Dlow and others. But none seemed to have mattered at the “The Prime Time Weekend Party” other than the Lollipop star. You must be wondering what propelled Deion Sanders to count on Lil Wayne. Coach Prime bore in his mind how the rapper’s music has been the soundtrack to countless victories and locker-room celebrations. 

The bond seems to go both ways since on an earlier occasion, Lil Wayne led the Buffs onto the field with a surprise performance of his song “Ride for My N****s (Sky is the Limit).” As a token of gratitude, Deion Sanders gifted Wayne with a custom Colorado Buffaloes jersey with his nickname, Tunechi, on the back. Making use of his special bond, Sanders was desperate to bring that energy to Boulder. 

The price floor of the tickets was at $48, but the Lil Wayne craze added up to the price and skyrocketed to as high as $170. If you wonder if Shedeur’s fans played a crucial role in raising the stocks, then you must be mistaken. It was not until the program that fans had any idea that the QB was about to take up to the stage.
