Deion Sanders says the ‘smell of weed’ at Colorado games has surprised him

Deion Sanders has been introduced to some new traditions since he was hired as the head football coach at Colorado, and one of them produces an odor that he says is hard to miss.

During a recent segment on CBS News Colorado, Sanders was asked by reporter Romi Bean if there is anything that has surprised him about Folsom Field during his two seasons with the Buffaloes. The Hall of Fame defensive back said he didn’t expect there to be such a strong stench of marijuana during games.

More specifically, Sanders said he can always smell weed in the second quarter.

“The smell of weed in the second quarter surprised the heck out of me. Every game I’m like, dang,” Sanders said. “It seems like it’s like a light-up quarter, you know what I’m saying? So is this the quarter that y’all chose? I’m serious, it’s a TV timeout and it never fails and I’m like, ‘Wow, what’s going on?’ I’ve never been high a day in my life, so that’s kind of new to me.”
