Deion Sanders’ Sons Repeatedly Cheat, Play Dirty In Colorado Win
Deion Sanders’ Colorado squad beat North Dakota State in their regular season opener on Thursday night, but the win didn’t come without controversy.
Despite coming into this outing as nearly 10-point favorites, the Buffaloes struggled to create separation against the Bison and ultimately needed a last-minute tackle on a successful Hail Mary throw to secure a 31-26 victory.

Obviously Colorado gets a lot of attention. Between the viral sign from one of their games that blew up online, Deion’s handsy video with Molly Qerim of First Take, and what his ex-girlfriend said about his new girlfriend, the Buffaloes are always in the news.
But on Thursday night, Deion’s squad found themselves trending for something of an unfortunate reason.
To start, they benefitted greatly from the referees seemingly fixing the game for them:
If the North Dakota State University vs Colorado game was officiated appropriately & fairly. This would have been called targeting. 15 yard penalty w 9 seconds left.

Then to make matters worse, Deion’s sons were at the center of a lot of dirty plays and borderline cheating.
First there was this cheap shot by Shilo Sanders:

Then you had Shedeur Sanders faking an injury here:

The fact that Colorado had to do all this to beat North Dakota State is telling.
This will likely be another long year full of unfulfilled promises for the Buffaloes.
Will Deion be able to return Colorado to some level of respectability by season’s end? Time will tell, but based on Week 1, it’s not looking good.
