Colorado State coach Deion Sanders had a surprise for his team during Friday morning’s meeting after a verbal war with Colorado State coach Jay Norvell this week.
He gave each player a pair of Blenders sunglasses. Blenders Sunglasses is a company that develops a line of sunglasses with Sanders.
“They don’t realize, it’s personal and not only do we get to kick their butts, but it’s a business and it’s fun,” Sanders said. “They don’t realize, they’re just helping me with my business.”
Sanders also handed a portion of the glass to the host of ESPN’s “First Take” during an appearance on Friday’s show.

During Thursday’s practice, Sanders addressed the team’s criticism in a video shot by Welloff Media, a YouTube channel run by his son Deion Sanders Jr.
