Deion Sanders trolled during SNL.

It's been a tough weekend for Deion Sanders.

Friday night, the Colorado Buffaloes lost in stunning fashion, blowing a huge lead to Stanford. Saturday night, Sanders was made fun of during the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live" on NBC.

Kenan Thompson portrayed the always confident Coach Prime. 

“We just keep winning, man,” Thompson said in his role of Sanders. “Every game, every minute. We winning at life.”

“Yeah, you’re also 4-3, so you have lost a few,” Colin Jost replied.

“Colin, look at me, man,” the fictional Coach Prime said. “What about me makes you think that I care about what you think about me? You don’t understand that my team has it all, man. Coaching? Genius. Offense? Explosive. Defense? Trying. It’s a complete package, man.”

The two continued.

“Yeah, well millions of people are watching your games,” Jost told him. “You’ve obviously turned the program around. But it’s not perfect. I mean, just last night you lost to Stanford in double overtime.”

“Wasn’t that crazy?” Thompson playing Sanders said. “Man, we went up 29 to nothing at the half, so I went home and fell asleep. I woke up this morning as shocked as anyone … Nobody’s perfect. Name one team that’s undefeated.”

Of course, several college football teams - Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Washington, etc. - are undefeated.

Perhaps we'll get to hear what Coach Prime thinks of his Saturday Night Live segment soon.
