Deion Sanders, age 37, coming back to NFL...
 

Here's the run down:

• 37 years old
• Still runs a 4.3 40
• Has not played since the 2000 season
• Will play limited time for Baltimore

About Deion:

• Played 13 seasons for Atlanta, San Francisco, Dallas, and Washington
• 7-time Pro-Bowler
• 48 career interceptions
• Only athlete to ever play in both the World Series and the Super Bowl
• Holds NFL record for most touchdowns on returns (18)
• Gave himself the nickname, "Prime Time"
• Released a hip-hop album in 1994
• Only athlete to ever hit a home run and score a touchdown in a 7-day span
• Claimed he wanted to play for Oakland in 2002
• Claimed he wanted to coach the Falcons in 2003
• Fired from his $1 million/year job at CBS
• Fired as host of ESPN's "The New American Sportsman"

So what do you think? Can Deion cut it? Or is it just another vein attempt for publicity (like when he took batting practice with the Texas Rangers earlier this year)?

he's a washed up, cocky attention whore

hes the man

awesome, can't wait i have always liked him.

Has been...he doesn't have it left in him..he is too old

I actually liked his cocky attitude. For a long time he was able to back it up. Then he became a bit fragile. Not that he was a pussy he would try to play injured and most of the time that hurt the team more then it helped.

I think he will go down to injury early on.

very hot wife shes in that ab infomercial with him

he will just be a distraction in the baltimore franchise...

If anyone can at that age...he can

Hope he gets nailed big time by a tight end or a running back

are you his coach? good stats:thumbsup

At least we don't have to see him wearing those nasty suits.

perfect opportunity to get some more cash.. must need it badly.

Those bright colored oversized suits on that pre-game show were the worst.

But we will have to see him dance.

Do you think that when the do pre-game introductions for the Defensive players, he and Ray Lewis will take so much time dancing that the game time will be moved from 1pm EST to 2pm EST :1orglaugh

Deions 22 TDs are such:
8 int returns
6 punts
3 kick-offs
3 cathes
1 run
1 fumble recovery


He wasnt fired from CBS, his contract ended and he said he would only come back for double the salary. The couldnt come to an agreement, that is not fired.

Deion's technique wasn't perfect but his speed made him the only player to shut a side of the field down by himself. I dont care much about 40 yard dash times in gym shorts. He was the fastest person alive in football gear, and he will still need most of that speed to be good.

If he is fast enough to replace a corner baltimore becomes my AFC pick. If they stick him in middle with their nickle defense (like lewis is saying) he will not matter, and he will quit because we all know he needs attention to be happy.

He's too old :) I doubt he'll do any good on a regular basis ... unless he only play 1 game out of 3 and train a lot

didnt he play for the lions too?

or am i thinking of someone else

someone else.


dear god your not thinking of barry sanders are you ?

I think he should have just gave it a brake and not come back. Even though he is the men:)

Come on, his suits were awesome. I tuned in every week just to see what he was wearing.

thats the one lol

I dont watch football, never had the time

I just remember their being a 'sanders' in the lions when i got drug to a game years ago

He has a mortgage to pay:

LOL.

I've always liked him ON the field. As previously mentioned, he literally coud shut down half the field. Off the field I thought he represented everything that was wrong with pro sports. The attitude, lifestyle, and greed were a bit too much. But when he came to Dallas, I was happier than the devil in hell, and loved seeing him dance and strut all over the place, LOL.

Personally I don't think he's got it anymore. I thought he started sliding his last few years in Dallas. Started slowing down and weakening against younger, stronger, and faster receivers. I'm not questioning his toughness and will though. Everyone always said he was a pussy because he would "knee-tackle" instead of takeing a huge hit, but after he pulled double duty and played over 100 plays per game, I never second guessed him. His desire and will to play is very commendable and I hope he does well. He'll probably be put in Nickel and Dime situations though and not see the time he wants.

Yeah you're thinking of Barry.

Barry and Deion are on totally opposite ends of the spectrum!!! :1orglaugh

Wow, why is that info public ?

Many law enforcement, city, state, county and government officials have the privelege of being excluded from public records. Athletes and celebrities do not.

Who cares if hes an attention whore. He could still play. Just look at my hero Brian Bosworth. He was an attention whore too and and look where he is.... Oops nevermind. Bad example
