To which Sanders came with a quick reply,  “I don’t like that though. I like it because I love my daughter. First of all, I’m proud. She’s 34. She’ll be 34 momentarily. So I’m happy. She’s ready and she’s prepared, and it’s a blessing. But I don’t know if I am ready to be a granddad. Grandpa Prime!” In another interview, Coach Prime has been seized with the same emotion, “Can you imagine somebody calling me a granddad!?”
