Deion Sanders, known as “Prime Time” for his legendary football career, accepted an offer from the University of Colorado Saturday night to become the school’s next head football coach.

Sanders accepted the offer after the team that he currently coaches, Jackson State University, won the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship title game Saturday afternoon against Southern, 43-24.

“There were a number of highly qualified and impressive candidates interested in becoming the next head football coach at Colorado, but none of them had the pedigree, the knowledge and the ability to connect with student-athletes like Deion Sanders,” said Rick George, Athletic Director at the University of Colorado. “Not only will Coach Prime energize our fanbase, I’m confident that he will lead our program back to national prominence while leading a team of high quality and high character.”

Colorado hired Sanders after the team fired former Head Coach Karl Dorrell during the middle of the season after the team was barely competitive on the field.

Sanders move to Boulder presents the team the opportunity to become instantly competitive after years of fielding teams that struggled to win. This is because Sanders is a top recruiter and he will likely lure some of the nation’s top football talent to play at Colorado. At Jackson State University, Sanders was able to bring in the nation’s #1 football recruit, Travis Hunter, luring him away from every top football program.

At Jackson State University, Sanders amassed a 27-5 record and won back-to-back conference championships.

Sanders was a two-time unanimous first-team All-American as a defensive back at Florida State and won the 1988 Jim Thorpe Award, given to the nation’s top defensive back. Sanders was a top athlete in the National Football League and in Major League Baseball and is the only athlete to ever play in both the Super Bowl and World Series.

The concern for George will be making sure that the school can muster up the proper resources to assist Sanders with managing the administration side of the game as that was a problem when he ran Prime Prep Academy in Dallas. George must also be prepared to raise Sanders’ salary substantially as other more powerful schools will likely try to snatch him away if Sanders is instantly able to bring the nation’s top football talent to Boulder.

Joe Rogan, host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” on Spotify, slammed Brian Johnson, who goes by “Liver King,” in a podcast this week for lying about his use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) while trying to claim that he was able to get a ripped physique naturally.

Johnson admitted earlier this week that he lied about taking steroids, saying that he was “embarrassed and ashamed… I lied and I misled a lot of people.”

“I wasn’t surprised at all. It completely make sense,” Rogan said on one of his podcast episodes this week. “There’s no way you can look like that in your 40s, that jacked, he’s preposterously jacked. Now that we know that he’s full of s***. We’re talking about the Liver King, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, a lot of people, like, what are they saying? There’s a guy, if you don’t know who the Liver King is, the guy who calls himself the ‘Liver King,’ and he’s this guy who walks around everywhere with no shirt on. I’ve seen him in Vegas with no shirt on, big bushy beard, super jacked. And he was telling people that the way he gets that way is by sunning his balls. He literally lays down with his a***hole staring at the sun and eats raw liver and just lifts like a maniac. And that’s how he’s so jacked. But it’s preposterous.”

Rogan then played the Liver King’s apology video and repeatedly mocked and laughed at his attempts to explain why he lied about taking steroids.

“You know what the problem is?” Rogan said after watching the apology video. “Sometimes people don’t hang out with people that are smarter than them. And you think you’re the smartest person or maybe because he’s running this company, people have to listen to him. So he’s got this distorted perception of his ability to communicate, and his ability to convince people, like, that was so theatrical and so corny.”

“This is dumb, man. This is a f***ing, you ran a con game and you got busted,” Rogan continued. “And it’s unfortunate that you feel terrible. I’m sorry, you feel bad because that’s just what happens when you get caught lying. But you didn’t have to lie.”
