Coach Prime controlled him well here.

Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes football team, is fighting back after being embroiled in a firestorm for ordering a ban on reporters asking questions at a press conference. Recently, Sanders and the Buffaloes athletic department revoked a privilege held by Denver Post columnist Sean Keeler, who has been accused of attacking Deion on a personal level.

ESPN's Paul Finebaum roundly criticized Sanders for Prime's move, but Dion made it clear in an interview with former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III that he wasn't going to go down without a fight. (RELATED: Deion Sanders Proves He's Still a Great Guy Despite Recent Turmoil)

Prime fired back at Finebaum's comments, saying the college football icon is simply trying to use Colorado's ongoing drama to maintain his own relevance.

“How is it possible that we're not even related and you're talking about me? Every time I turn around, someone is sending me a quote that you're talking about me,” Sanders told RGIII.

And I can't help but point out how resourceful Dion was throughout all of this, remaining calm and collected in the process — truly Prime-like and brilliant.

Deon Sanders had this to say about Paul Finebaum's constant attacks and criticism that his show is irrelevant:

Coach Prime – “How can you talk about me when we're not even a part of this?”

Grete – He's a fan.
