Deion Sanders has enough on his plate this week as his Colorado football team goes on the road against conference rival Oregon, but now the Buffaloes head coach is dealing with a traffic violation as his son revealed on a social media video. Deion Sanders, Jr. posted the video showing that his dad's white Lamborghini was slapped with a parking ticket recently.

“Lamborghini Prime. I love to see it,” Sanders Jr. said. “They even gave him a ticket. They even gave my dad a ticket. Yeah, boys — crazy.”

It was another eventful episode in an already-hectic week for Sanders, who said he also had an encounter with an unwelcome guest at his office in Boulder.

“We called it a rat, but it wasn’t big enough to be a rat, but it was a mouse. I’m scared, I can’t do this, I can’t live like this. I’m in Boulder, Colorado — I cannot live like this,” Sanders said in a video. “One of us has got to go.”

In the meantime, Sanders and his No. 19 ranked Colorado team have surprised bookies, analysts, and predictors with a 3-0 start, beating TCU, Nebraska, and Colorado State, but the Buffaloes' toughest test comes this weekend.

Colorado goes on the road against No. 10 Oregon in the Pac-12 conference opener, a game the oddsmakers named the Ducks comfortable 21 point favorites for, but the Buffaloes have the skill threats to make it close.
