Finally. Deion Sanders has weighed in on Goldy Gopher, the University of Minnesota mascot who, in his spar time, loves to mock praying players and stiff-arm kids to the ground. On Monday, I wrote that Goldy seemed a little to amped during a halftime show that included a bunch of mascots taking on a youth football team.

And now, thanks SBNation's Spencer Hall, I have Sanders' thoughts on the "Minnesota gopher ... who's dressed as a bear."



As Goldy stiff-armed his way to the end zone, Deion states with all the conviction of someone well-versed in mascot demographics: "There's a brother in there. There's a brother in there, I'm telling you. There's a brother inside of Barney ... I'm telling you, take off his hat, I guarantee you there's a brother in there."

To recap: there's a brother in there.
