Deion Sanders is firing back at ESPN college football analyst Paul Finebaum.

Earlier this year, Fienbaum went viral when he trashed the Colorado Buffs and called them “irrevelant.”

“I know that the media loves this story. We fall all over ourselves. But Colorado isn’t important in college football. Deion Sanders is,” he said. “He’s a standalone person. He’s one of the most charismatic people we’ve ever seen. But Colorado is nothing. They don’t matter. They’re irrelevant in the big picture of college football.”

During a recent appearance on ESPN’s ‘Get Up,’ Finebaum once again took shots at Sanders for banning a Denver Post reporter from asking questions.

“Coach Prime is showing he is not ready for prime time Greeny” “I find this whole thing to be disgraceful. Deion may want to talk about love and joy, and that’s been the cornerstone of what he seems to be spewing out. But treating reporters like this seems like we’re in some autocratic country. This is not America, and the fact that it’s in his contract is really even more absurd.”

On Tuesday, Sanders appeared on RG3’s “Outta Pocket” podcast and reacted to Finebaum’s comments.

“How can we be irrelevant and you talking about me? Like everytime I turn around someone sending me a quote that you talking about me.

“I know what he’s doing and I’m proud of him, that he’s smart enough to understand that this generation and the thought process and the way we communicate in sports is different and he’s a dying breed. So what does he have to do to keep up with this change? Oh I gotta go after the big bad wolf to talk about him.”
