Deion Sanders: Jay Norvell crossed the line this week

It was all fun and games between Colorado State and Colorado this week… until Rams coach Jay Norvell brought Deion Sanders’ mother into the trash talking.

At his coach’s show this week, Norvell threw shade at Sanders and Colorado, particularly over how Coach Prime dons sunglasses and a cowboy hat for his television interviews.

“I sat down with ESPN today, and I don’t care if they hear it in Boulder,” said Norvell this past Wednesday. “I told them, ‘I took my hat off, and I took my glasses off.’ And I said, ‘When I talk to grown-ups, I take my hat and my glasses off.’ That’s what my mother taught me.’”

Well, now that mothers were brought into the equation, Deion Sanders sure did have some thoughts on the Colorado State coach’s comments.

“We started off the week. We’re exchanging, being pleasant, like coaches do. Even though sometimes they don’t mean it, they do it anyway,” explained Sanders, noting that Norvell did not keep up the public friendliness.

“And he just took a left, he took a left. And the thing about us, you know, you can’t talk about momma now. You insinuate something about momma, that momma ain’t raised me right. Momma may be in the pregame speech today. That’s how personal it got.”

Sanders then suggested that his own mother was fired up by the comments and ready to defend herself and her son.

“Because when I got home, momma said ‘baby, are you serious?’ I said ‘how you feel about that, momma?’ Yeah, momma had one foot back. You know, when you get ready to throw ’em, you put one foot back. Momma’s ready.'”

Sanders and his mom are both ready to see the Buffaloes shut up Colorado State on the football field today, especially after what Jay Norvell had to say about CU.
