Sanders Answers Haters Highlighting His Bliss

Former NFL player turned analyst, Doc Holliday, was amongst those who criticized Deion Sanders for his latest loss. He tweeted questioning Sanders about his love for JSU, especially as their stuff was stolen from the Rose Bowl locker room.

“Hey @DeionSanders! Are you as upset with @UCLAFootball as you were with @gojsutigersfb?” wrote Holliday referring to Sanders time at the JSU.

Deion Sanders answered Doc Holliday in his style, advising him to move on with his life.

“My brother move in with your life I have and I’m to BLESSED to be stressed with yesterday’s inconsistencies. You’re talking about 2 whole different circumstances. God bless u because he’s sure blessing me.”

“This is the Rose Bowl. They say the Granddaddy of them all, right? I’m sure Granddaddy has some money,” said Sanders.
