“How you like me now?” Deion Sanders (below), shouting the popular Kool Moe Dee lyrics to a hostile crowd after a 70 yard punt return at Clemson back in 1988…
I don't even like football. This caught my eye because DS is a distant relation, and because, well, everything you write gives fresh perspective, and I am not disappointed. Thank you for another great read.
Excellent article. It might also be worth noting there is a photo circulating of Deon Sander’s son walking alongside Tom Brady. Commentary accompanying the photo suggests that the reason his son has been so successful as a Quarterback is because he’s getting coaching tips from Tom Brady. I’m certain most professional or ex-pro players and their children know and associate with each other. Therefore, the photo and suggestion without more evidence seems to only appease and add explanation to all those who doubt that young Sanders and his father could have achieved such a feat on their own. It also seems to guard against the notion than anyone could possibly be greater than these former, retired hopefuls. Whether or not intentional, race is definitely deeply ingrained in the mindsets of most Americans and beyond.
I am proud of Deion and how he refuses to let others make him change to make them comfortable with who he is. I have a ton of respect for him and how he uses football improve the lives of young men, no matter what their race is, while remembering that he is a black man and that because he has the resources to do so, he is pulling others UP with him. And look at all of the folks who were dogging him out about leaving Jackson State, shouting him out because of his first game coaching WIN at the PWI. Too Cute.
Say it louder!!! I was hoping you would point out what the “darling” of college football, Lee Corso said. I can’t wait for Coach Prime to call him out when Gameday goes to Boulder this season. The disrespect Prime gets is real! I’m just glad so many are emboldened these days to say what’s in their hearts. That way, we see them for who they are!

That's an excellent point that you make!
Chuck, while I in large part agree with you, I just don’t like him because he went to Half Assed U, Florida’s Second-rate University…!
😂😂😂
GOOOO Gators!
I am with you when you're right 😆. Go Gators!
Well said, Chuck, may Deion's tribe increase!
Go Buffs!
