What a douche. mtmuley
 
What’s the point? 26 is his prime. They’re getting him in his prime. What more do you want?
Also, he had a high ankle sprain last year. That’s it. He hasn’t missed time other than that.
Again...exactly.

Pretty much walked into the pros and dominated right away and he's still young. Those are the attributes that make it OK to back up the truck to fill a need.
 
He still was. Single most talented back ever. Definite wow factor.
I remember watching a game on Thanksgiving and he lost his shoe in the backfield and still ran for 20 yards making several players on the way. Madden was the commentator and he had the teleprompter screen yellow after he was done analyzing that!
 
That's not Deion

You’re right- Deion is his dad and was his coach at the time who was allowing that- I was way off.

Speaking of Deion’s kids- now that Shiloh was cut from Tampa for punching a player mid-game, he can focus more on his lawsuit stemming from his assault of a school employee while in high school.

The middle aged man who wears shirts with his “Prime” nickname printed on them is definitely not a doucebag.

Jewelry on a football player is hardly a new thing. Keep digging. Lots of kids from good parenting get in trouble. Learn how to spell douchebag before your next post. Don't you have some non-resident hunting stuff to bitch about? mtmuley

I’m not sticking up for Deion, but “Prime” is his brand, his brand makes him money. what’s more douchey: A middle aged man wearing “Prime” gear that solely benefits him and his family. Or a middle aged man paying hundreds, if not thousands to wear “Kuiu”, “Sitka” or “First Lite” plastered all over there self with zero benefit to their family?

I think the case of a tie like this, you have to give the edge to whichever one is wearing a bigger cowboy hat.

What a douche. mtmuley

Both can be true. He can be an upstanding citizen and a douche. I chose douche for a reason. He’s arrogant, possibly narcissist, but I’m not qualified to diagnose. Have you watched interviews lately? A douche is defined all over the place by words like arrogant, obnoxious, attention seeking… Sound like Neon Deon? Do you remember his play? I’m 48, so I watched him at Florida State, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Dallas. He was electric; the speed, ball skills, and bravado. All the chains. The dancing and taunting. Have you watched him as a Coach? Dealing with his sons? His personality and actions helped destroy his son’s draft. His son also takes after his Father.
That's not Deion. He has a watch on. Who cares? Try again. mtmuley

That’s the son he raised. Literally google

This is amazing. Have you really followed Deion? In college as a player? In the NFL? As a coach? As a Father? His arrogance is legendary.

Check out this SNL Skit! It says it all. Again, he was an AMAZING player. Some argue best defensive player ever. I don’t, but he’s up there. SNL Deion

Thanks. mtmuley
 
Hope he is OK. Maybe part of the decision? mtmuley
