Cam Newton said his interaction with Buffaloes quarterback Shedule Sanders was “debatable” before the University of Colorado's 48-21 win over Central Florida last Saturday.
Sanders appeared uninterested in talking to the 11-year NFL veteran, as seen in a video that went viral, and walked away, leaving Newton with a confused look on his face.
“I have had conversations with Mr. Schedul,” Newton said Thursday. Podcast “4th & 1”while reflecting on the disturbing encounter at FBC Mortgage Stadium. “It was a moot point, and it was a little awkward not only with Shedur but also with him. [Buffaloes star] travis [Hunter]”
In the video, Sanders could be heard saying, “I'm in a weird situation,” Newton told others who were on the field at the time.
In the latest episode of his podcast, Newton explained that he didn't blame the media for reporting something big because he was surprised, too.

“It was just a little thing. [like]”Wait, what,” Newton said, tilting his head back in surprise. He also revealed at the end of the podcast that Hunter was just joking.
“Are you fighting with me? I'm not fighting with you. I don't feel a certain type of way. I've always been a fan, so don't get me wrong on that.”
Without going into details, Newton implied that his previous comments about Sanders (when he said the Buffaloes star didn't have a great college career) were the cause of the rift.
“I think we need to and will continue to abide by our conversations, and I think we need to abide by them and we will continue to abide by them. “I think the difference is very direct to the consumer,” Newton said. said the player who last played for the Carolina Panthers in 2021.
“And I shared this with Shedul as well. I said, 'Brother, you and your dad have a lot of support.' [Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders] And even Colorado. People are not born to think only about good things, so they don't realize this. ”
“…And I don’t think it’s a misunderstanding, as much as he needs to understand that this is the big leagues now. But I also understand that I have more power than I’m giving myself. So let's not make ourselves responsible either.
“But let me tell you this: I owe the fans of this program, and my fans in general, an obligation to do my due diligence to hold the entire sports community accountable… I'm telling the truth as I know it, and I'm saying it's not true.'' That doesn't mean it's always right, and it doesn't mean it's wrong. I'm just telling the truth from what I know.
“So if I said something like, 'Shedur, I don't know if he has a full game,' the mother seemed cold.
“He's a top prospect. He's a top-10 draft pick. There's no question about that. In our conversation, I said, 'Brother, I know a lot more than people give me credit for. I think we were able to talk about the fact that there is.”
Newton went on to explain that he doesn't care about people who disagree with him, and said Sanders needs to understand that he's on a higher level in the NIL era.
“At the end of the day, I had a lot of fun,” Newton said of her time in Central Florida.
The Buffaloes will face the Kansas State Wildcats on October 12th.
