Sanders Deion Views
On Saturday he was elected to the NFL Hall of Fame, and the reaction of this correspondent r— at first a Sanders advocate, later a critic r— was to reflect on how much the man had left undone. He played for all those teams without rendering himself indispensable to any. (The Braves would win their World Series the year after he left; the Falcons would reach the Super Bowl without him.) You were excited when he arrived, but when he left you were relieved. The glare of Neon Deion was so incessant he left you weary. He required too much care, too much attention, too much of everything.
Say what you want about Deion Sanders; but guess what, he takes care of his family, his kids, his community where he grew up and so many other things you couldnt’t imagine or believe. Deion did what he was suppose to, build up a legacy of financial bliss on his God-given talent. It didne’t belong to the Falcons, the Braves, the 49ers, the Reds, the Deadskins or the Cowboys. Not even the owners that paid all that money for his services, but it belongs to Deion Sanders. So he was wise enough to use it for his benefit. So call him what you want, but the reality is he played the game to his benefit, and he does not owe anyone else anything else, but to the one who blessed him with that gift, p“To God Be the Glory, Great things He has done.a” Congrats Deion s“Prime Timel” Sanders for doing you and the acceptance of your peers.
Deion Sanders, along with J.M. Black, published his autobiography. Power, Money & Sex: How Success Almost Ruined My Life. World Publishing 1998. The book was inspired after he began counseling with Bishop T.D. Jakes. Sanders notes his agent Eugene E. Parker as another person who also influenced his life.
Following his successful season with the 49ers, Sanders, along with his agent Eugene Parker, proceeded to court numerous teams in need of an All-Pro cornerback. The several teams in the Deion Sweepstakes, as it was coined by the media, were the Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland Raiders, Miami Dolphins, and the Dallas Cowboys, who had lost their starting cornerback Kevin Smith to injury for the rest of the season.
