I think your nuanced approach is already hitting on what you feel you should do regarding how to handle Deion and Colorado. Intent matters, and you can't control other peoples actions regarding what they do with your opinion. You may dispute the intent of your words and nothing written indicates anything contrary to an objective opinion regarding football performance.

Your take has been consistent with others I've listened to regarding concerns with Colorado being undersized on the line, not establishing the line of scrimmage, and working to extend plays to gain or show out on "broken plays". All of those items lead to increased probabilities of injury and will make the length of any season difficult on a team, especially one that IS rebuilding. Unfortunately, there are a lot of guys with goatees and sport-style sunglasses that think the issue lies in showboating or having a personality and being able to actually express emotion with which that they don't agree. Those individuals will listen to their own echo chambers on why Colorado will struggle without understanding the nuanced portion of it. Any use of your opinions on the matter are truncated, bastardized, and not a true representative of your thoughts or writing.

However, if, like you have also consistently said, Colorado proves you wrong, then you're still happy and the incorrigible buttholes who take pleasure in others' misery because they cannot themselves grow emotionally or process emotion appropriately, will be miserable. Keep publishing and talking about what you want to talk about, how you want to talk about it, because you have already armored yourself against the potential impending takes against Deion, swagger, and fun in football.

I enjoy your takes so keep doing what you're doing and F the Haters, even if the hater is yourself for things outside of your control.
