According to Bleacher Report (via Joe Pompliano), Coach Prime’s sunglasses line with Blenders Eyewear made $1.2 million in sales in one day after Sanders was called out by the Rams HC for wearing shades to his interviews.

Fans reacted to the staggering number online.
“Lmao,” a user laughed. “Sad thing is, those CSU kids are gonna get their asses handed to them and they probably all think their coach is a loser for what he said.”

“They should send Norvell a commission check,” another said. “Just to be extra petty. But to also raise everyone up along the way.”
“Deion Sanders is playing the media game better than anyone in sports..” a fan tweeted. “I can’t call him Coach Prime he’s still Neon Deion to me.”

The in-state rivals kickoff at 10 PM ET on ESPN. When asked about Norvell’s comments, Sanders told the “College GameDay” crew to “keep the cameras rolling” after the game.
