FOX Sports host calls Shedeur Sanders "spoiled rich" over taunting

Colorado Buffaloes

I guess not everybody fully appreciates Shedeur Sanders' late-game heroics, along with his now famous watch flash celebration. It's a bold statement and pure entertainment, but Doug Gottlieb is done watching. 

The FOX Sports Radio host aired out his thoughts on the Colorado Buffaloes QB eariler this week. It came off as the latest Shor guided at Sanders for the way he carries himself. 

"I'm done with the Shedeur Sanders watch thing," Gottlieb said. "Walking over to the crowd... It's the ultimate taunting. It's spoiled rich guy stuff, and if it was anybody else, that's what we would say about it."

Gottlieb thinks the media is "scared" to call out Sanders for his antics in fear of being called a hater. He was more trying to spotlight the media lack of opinionated news coverage. 

Maybe Gottlieb's take was a little bit misguided, considering the NFL has more excessive celebrations. Sanders has played outstanding and is one of the best college football has to offer. "Grown" is a trendsetter, and more quarterbacks should try to emulate his style in the new NIL era. You can call his the Mayor of Swagger. 

Colorado hosts Stanford in the latest edition of Pac-12 After Dark. A 10 p.m. ET kickoff on Friday with coverage on ESPN.
