Deion Sanders' recent clash with the local Colorado media did not go unjudged by Paul Finebaum -- who once again called out Coach Prime on August 14 and predicted a difficult season in his second year in charge.

"The problem I have with Deion Sanders is his attitude," Finebaum said (h/t On SI). "Last year he embraced it he was the king of college football for five weeks. He's already off to a terrible start. He started a food fight last weekend with the local media which is a big mistake. He's very defensive and I think he's in for a very difficult second year in Boulder."

This cannot be stressed enough, though: no one should care what Finebaum says about Sanders and the Buffs after a recent bombshell admission.

Paul Finebaum admitted he made up Deion Sanders-USC rumor

Finebaum admitted he was grifting and made up the Coach Prime-to-USC rumor because he was...excited because he was at SEC Media Days.

“I don’t want to back away from anything I’ve ever said, but it was the first week of the SEC Media Days, and you guys have been there both,” Finebaum told the GoJo and Golic Show (h/t Heartland College Sports). “You start throwing things up against the wall, and Lincoln Riley, I probably got a little carried away. I think he’s a good coach. I don’t think he’s a great coach, and I think his record in big games speaks for itself. I just threw Deion out there, and that was prior to the reporting.”

Basically, when it comes to Finebaum and Colorado, you can ignore all of his opinions. He's clearly just trying to see Sanders end up at a bigger school so that he can talk about it more. He doesn't like CU, and that's okay. He's allowed to have his opinions.

And so does everyone else. His Buffs judgements are as useful as a snow plow in the summer.
