Stephen A. Smith Slams Banned Denver Post Reporter for ‘Offensive’ Writing About Deion Sanders: ‘Your Attacks Seem Personal’

EXCERPT:

SMITH: “Keeler is still permitted to attend football-related activities as a credentialed member of the media. Meanwhile, other reporters from The Denver Post are welcome to ask questions of the football program personnel made available to the media, including coaches, players and staff.' According to The Denver Post, a Colorado media relation staffer told the paper that it took exception with criticisms from Keeler leveled at 'Prime Time' Deion Sanders in a column. He’s previously referred to Deion Sanders as 'Deposition Deion,' 'the Bruce Lee of BS,' and 'a false prophet.' Initially, when I saw this story, I have to confess to y’all, I didn’t like it one bit for 'Prime Time' Deion Sanders. Since that time I’ve spoken to him briefly, or via text that is, and I did some homework on some of the things this guy has written, this guy Keeler has written about him, and I still don’t like to look for Deion Sanders. But I get where he’s coming from. If you are Keeler, here’s the bottom line: Your attacks seem personal, off-putting, offensive, et cetera. And in the case of 'Prime Time' Deion Sanders, his mentality is, 'Talk about me all you want to, talk about my football program all you want to, but this guy has gotten personal and he’s gotten very, very personal.'”
