Paul Finebaum says Colorado is not important in college football, and the team is an easy win
Paul Finebaum is a pretty harsh critic, and is not a big fan of Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes. The ESPN reporter was on First Take and man did he take a shot at the school.
Finebaum said Colorado is irrelevant in the big picture of college football. He even took a shot at Shedeur Sanders who said the Buffaloes are everyone’s Super Bowl. Finebaum called the Buffaloes an easy win.
“He’s a stand-alone person. He’s one of the most charismatic people we’ve ever seen,” Finebaum said from the SEC media-days event Monday.
“But Colorado is nothing. They don’t matter. They’re irrelevant in the big picture of college football.”
“Anyone asking whether Deion Sanders and Colorado are close to the playoffs simply doesn’t understand the reality of the road,” Finebaum said. “They’re not going to the playoffs this year, and I’m not sure Deion Sanders is ever going to get them to the playoffs, because I don’t think he has the patience to stay at Colorado long enough.
“There’s so many misconceptions out there. Deion Sanders is the best salesman I’ve ever seen. I personally love the guy and what he stands for. But the program looking out has a ridiculously inflated view of itself.”
“So, I know that the media loves this story,” Finebaum continued. “We fall all over ourselves. But Colorado isn’t important in college football.”
“I heard Shedeur Sanders — who’s a fabulous quarterback — say last week, ‘We are everyone’s Super Bowl.’ Shedeur, you are not,” Finebaum said. “You are an easy win nowadays. You got off to a phenomenal start last year beating a couple of mediocre teams that had big names. And quite frankly, you haven’t done anything since, other than crash and burn.”
Damn, Paul didn’t hold back. Do you agree with his statements?
