Remember when Cormani McClain pulled the major stunt of dissing Deion Sanders right after entering the transfer portal? That too by using the words of his arch-rival Oregon head coach’s same words “They’re just playing for the clicks” and he thought he would get away with that? Well, not so easily. Deion Sanders was just awaiting the perfect moment to shoot his scathing yet witty riposte to both McClain and Dan Lanning, one that he got on the NelkBoys podcast.

All Deion Sanders had to say as the biting response to the infamous “Clicks” question was this: “It’s funny how you say that but the camera’s on when you say it.” Sanders also had another question for the hosts, the answer to which each of the NCAA fans knew. “ Did you hear any other speech he made the whole season?” Sanders asked, referring to Dan Lanning. “Not one,” the host stated the obvious. “So who’s playing for clicks?” Sanders followed up, brutally shattering all the “clicks” Cormani McClain and Lanning through his disarming zinger.

However, Sanders wasn’t just about done there. The Colorado head coach went on to explain why social media visibility was so crucial for him and his team. “Like this is what I really do like since high school. You can date it back to YouTube or whatever. This is what I do with my team. So this is who we are. And it’s not playing for something or playing for clicks,” Prime said.

But Prime had to finish it off in his classic signature style. Saving the best of laconic takedown for the last, Deion Sanders quipped bluntly, “Why Would I need exposure? Last time I checked, I’d been him since the 80s.” The word was enough to dismantle each allegation thrown his way by Lanning, McClain, and even his mother.

Cormani McClain and his mother’s claims trashed

Mike Farrell, an NFL aficionado, dropped his honest verdict on Jason Whitlock’s ‘Fearless’. While the whole of NCAA was shooting digs at Deion Sanders for all the allegations Cormani McClain and his mother had put on him, Farrell cleared out the air around McClain and the ‘other’ side of the story.

“Everybody knew he was a problem. He was asking for money from Miami and pitting them against Florida and he had his hand out and all this other stuff. He was about himself,” Farrell reported about McClain’s nature at CU, something which was well known by the whole of the NCAA.

“Everybody who’s in recruiting knew this stuff. Deion took him and said, ‘I’m going to put him under my wing as a former defensive back. I’m going to be a mentor to him. He’s a Florida kid.’ Didn’t happen,” Farrell said, unveiling the things that unfolded in CU between Deion Sanders and McClain. Well, Farrell’s timing of debunking McClain’s part of the story being the only one came at perfect timing since it gave the perfect base to Sanders to construct his scathing replies.
