Following the recent startling defeat from Stanford, Stephen A. Smith took to his show to slam Colorado’s complacent attitude. He especially directs his concern for Shedeur Sanders, “who can ball” and “got a lot of promise.” But while he has the potential, the 56-year-old sports TV personality feels that Shedeur needs to get down from the clouds and get back to the film room.
Stephen A. Smith played back on how Shedeur Sanders was driving a Rolls Royce when his father, Coach Prime, and Tom Brady called him to the film room, half joking and half serious. The retired NFL GOAT asked Shedeur to get his a** in the film room in a half-serious tone.
Smith slammed the young quarterback’s drive to celebrate too soon after every win because there’s always a tomorrow to prepare for. The ESPN commentator said, “When you’re celebrating one week but you getting your a** kicked the next, that’s a problem.”
He went on to say that the problem happens when you neglect what’s ahead and celebrate early. And he hopes that the awkward scenario won’t happen again because “it ain’t fun when you get your a** kicked.”
Smith continued by saying that everything is not Shedeur’s fault, but since he’s one of the greatest college football players, many people look up to him, including fellow teammates. But as Shedeur celebrates the fruits of his efforts, the others will want to join in the celebration. And when that happens, there is distraction in the field, and no one will be able to deliver their A-game on the field.
Shedeur Sanders has a thing for celebration
Deion Sanders’ Colorado is making an impression this season, and his son Shedeur Sanders is playing a big role in leading the team to victory. However, the 21-year-old likes to drown himself in the spirit of celebration before the final curtain closes. This isn’t the first time Stephen A. Smith has slammed Shedeur for his crude and flashy premature celebrations.
