The Denver Post's Sean Keeler admits he had attack from Deion Sanders coming

The Denver Post's Sean Keeler took the high road after being blasted by Deion Sanders at a Colorado football presser on August 9, Coach Prime's birthday; defending CBS Colorado's Eric Christensen after Sanders said he wouldn't be taking questions from anyone from CBS.

As Keeler notes, he himself had it coming, but Christensen did not.

"I’ve taken my swings at the pinata," Keeler wrote. "Friday was Prime’s turn, and he didn’t miss. I had it coming, as the old song from 'Chicago' goes. That’s fine. But Christensen? Channel 4? A media partner? The station that outbid its peers to host Prime’s local coach’s show?

"This was another side of Deion we’d heard about but hadn’t really seen yet: Biting one of the hands that actually pays him."

The possible reasons Sanders denied giving any CBS reporter an answer to their question include reporting on Shilo Sanders' ongoing lawsuit with a security guard he assaulted in high school and a Big 12 coaches ranking released in July.

If the former theory is true, then Coach Prime is making Shilo seem guilty. Sanders should not be so defensive if the reporting isn't accurate. His visceral response is telling in many ways. Of course, if it's the second one, he's being beyond petty. Again, let folks say what they want and prove them wrong on the field.

Sanders made a gaffe not responding to Christensen, a proud CU alum to boot. But as Keeler even notes, The Denver Post had it coming.

What Sean Keeler has said about Deion Sanders and Colorado football in the past

Keeler has called Coach Prime a "false prophet," something meant to sting extra considering Sanders' strong religious ties. And the "Bruce Lee of BS." He's put the blame solely on Sanders for players leaving through the transfer portal. He's called Coach Prime's Colorado Buffs hard to watch but claimed Jay Norvell's CSU squad wasn't.

The list goes on.

Keeler certainly got what was coming in many ways. It's not overly satisfying now, but if the Buffs start winning? Different story.
