"Weve got guys in biker shorts. That makes me sick because Im a football guy I played this game at a high level and I have so much respect for this game. How can we allow guys out there in biker shorts, no knee pads, no nothing, literally pants up under their thighs, and thats cool?"I think there should be a fine implemented for that stuff, and lets have more respect for this tremendous game."Sanders had a few things to say during Big 12 Media Days, including getting testy with a reporter over his health scare.COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS: WHICH TEAM HAS THE CLEAREST PATH TO THE CFP?"Im here today," he said,per ESPN.
