Sean Keeler is known for being a “Shock Jock” journalist and it seems to be part of his brand these days. However, The Denver Post writer wanted to make it personal with Deion Sanders this week. He dropped an article that led with a title calling Coach Prime a “False Prophet,” which in reality is nothing new, considering Jason Whitlock has uttered the phrase on several occasions.
Keeler went on to call Sanders the “Bruce Lee of B.S.” and “Harold Hill in designer shades.” This was all within the first line for his smattering hit piece that was highly critical of the business tactics for the Colorado Buffaloes football coach. For those unfamiliar with the Hill reference, he was a character in Disney’s 1962 film ‘The Music Man’, who played the role of a bandleader while embezzling money meant for uniforms and instruments.
The timing for something like this is unusually odd. We’re two months deep into the offseason in Boulder with very little to cover. Not to mention, Sanders has only been on campus for a total of 14 months. But if you dive deeper, Keeler might’ve been saving this up and figured now was a good time to unleash himself as a keyboard warrior.
