Shilo Sanders was not a fan of the $4,669 fine assessed to him for punching Buffalo Bills tight end Zach Davidson in the first half of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ preseason finale this past August.

The former Colorado Buffaloes football “leader,” designated such by his father and head coach Deion Sanders, as opposed to a “dog,” shared a video complaining about it on his YouTube channel.

“I got some bad news today,” Sanders said.

“So, in the NFL, like, you play, and then the week or two weeks after, that's when they pay you. So any fines, anything that you owe the NFL, if you do something and they fine you, they take it from that, and then they pay you, so you don't even have a chance to get it yet.

“So they took my little money, but they just told me on an appeal that I'm not gonna get it back, so, I mean, it is what it is, but, you know, just to let y'all know, they actually did fine me, and that is kind of absurd, but it is what it is. The thing about it is, like, how do you fine somebody that much when the game isn't even that much? I think you get, like, $2,000 per game for preseason games. How you gonna charge me $4,000? It just don't make sense, but, you know, they seen the appeal and then they denied it, so it is what it is. It kind of sucks, you know what I'm saying? But, oh, well. I'm gonna run it up regardless.”

Coach Prime believes Shilo will recoup that money in his future entertainment career, be it in acting or streaming.

“I was gonna go down that (acting) avenue once upon a time. I think that’s the avenue that … or streaming … that Shilo’s gonna go down, because he has that gift, man,” Coach Prime said on Thursday’s Colorado Football Coaches Show.

Deion’s middle son could join his oldest son, Deion Jr., aka Bucky, in Boulder, working for Well Off Media. Otherwise, he can continue an acting career that’s already started with an episode of “BMF” on the Starz premium cable channel, where he plays his father.
