Deion Sanders defends son Shilo after reporter clash

Deion Sanders addressed a recent exchange between his son Shilo and Cleveland Browns reporter Mary Kay Cabot.

The Colorado Buffaloes head coach spoke on the topic during an episode of "The Barbershop."

"We don’t talk about nobody," he said. "We don’t do nothing to nobody. I know Shilo had a little altercation that he spoke up for his brother. You’ve got to understand, man, that’s his brother.

"And God bless Mary Kay’s soul, that’s his brother. I mean, she said something, he said something, like media is different today. I know a lot of people don’t respect the old school. I do, because I grew up in that era that we didn’t have a say so. ... But Shilo spoke up for his brother, and he was ridiculed for that."

Shilo Sanders, who spent time on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers roster last year before being released, reacted after Cabot predicted that Deshaun Watson would enter training camp as the Cleveland Browns’ top quarterback ahead of Shedeur Sanders.

He said, "Go make me a sandwich, Mary."

Shilo said he objected to Cabot offering an opinion instead of reporting facts.

"If you’re gonna be a reporter, then report facts. Whenever you have your opinion, and your opinion is always something hateful to Shedeur, then it seems like there’s something weird. Like there’s an agenda you have going on," he said in a livestream earlier this month.
