Deion Sanders tried to play nice, but couldn't let this one slide. 

A reporter tried to tiptoe around a question and get a controversial answer during Tuesday's press conference. However, he got denied. Before the scribe could even get his question off, Coach Prime realized he attempted the same stunt with Shedeur Sanders on Saturday night and got shut down by the Buffaloes quarterback.

Sanders asked, "Are you the guy that Shedeur... Is that you? Is that you?" The reported casually responded by saying, "I'm probably that guy."The Colorado Buffaloes coach then gave him a piece of his mind.

"It's so funny that I didn't know that, but from your line of questioning... Like how you came with it... It's like something clicked in my head that said, "That's the guy." I didn't even see the press conference. I just saw (Shedeur) laughing and say, c'mon dawg."

The reporter said it was "a good stiff arm" by Sanders' youngest son, which caused Coach Prime to inadvertently make a reference to a famous Disney movie tune.

"Let that go, man. Let it go. You're barking up a tree that you ain't going to get up. So, just let it go."

Well, the cold shouldn't bother him anyway, right? It was Sanders way of putting everything into perspective about Shedeur's style of "Braveheart" play. While the hits have taken a toll on the Buffs QB, he's still fighting until the end with a "never say die" attitude.

Sanders and Colorado host No. 23 Arizona for Senior Day at Folsom Field on Saturday afternoon. The Buffs need two wins in the final three games for bowl eligibility. They'll end the season on the road at Washington State and Utah for a post-Thanksgiving 'Rumble in the Rockies' matchup.
