Summary
Deion Sanders, the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, responded to his son Shilo’s comment towards NFL reporter Mary Kay Cabot. Shilo had said “Go make me a sandwich” in response to Cabot’s prediction that Deshaun Watson would be the No. 1 quarterback on the Cleveland Browns’ depth chart over Shedeur Sanders. Deion Sanders defended his son, saying he was speaking up for his brother.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Shilo’s comment was a classic “sandwich” move, a way to deflect criticism by adding a personal jab. Deion’s response was predictable, defending his son’s honor.
Shilo’s issue with Cabot wasn’t just about the prediction, but about her opinion being presented as fact. It’s a common complaint from athletes and coaches.
Deion’s old-school approach to handling the situation is also familiar. He’s sticking up for his family member, just like he would on the field.
This whole situation will only add fuel to the “media vs. athletes” fire, with both sides pointing fingers at each other.
Original observation: This is what happens when you add a personal touch to a professional game.
