View Full Version : Deion Sanders talking to ESPN
Andrew Marchand, of the New York Post, reports former NFL CB Deion Sanders met with ESPN executives Tuesday, March 14, to discuss a role on the network's NFL coverage, according to his agent, Barry Frank. Sanders would be an ideal fit on ESPN's NFL pregame shows. ESPN's Sunday pregame show has two chairs in limbo because Michael Irvin and Steve Young are in contract negotiations.

I hope they keep Young. He's great. Deion and Irvin are the same damn person anyway, so I don't exactly care.

Deion is tolerable irvin is an obnoxious loud mouth that dresses like a pimp and spits all over himself when he tries to talk
Deion and Michael on the same set? Whose head will explode first?

I like the situation now where he's still playing, thereby making himself totally irrelevant and invisible.

Does anybody else think it's pathethic that multi-millionaires are in contract negotiations with ESPN? I though players would jump at the opportunity just to stay involved with the game. If I was ESPN I would show Young and especially Irvin the door, and bring in players who really want it.

Sanders is slightly less intolerable than Irvin who is slightly less intolerable than Michaal A Douchebag. It's funny how these ex jocks are the ones you always hear "holding out and in negotiations" like they are still players.
Sanders will be an "easy signing" because he's an attention whore and wouldn't know what to do with himself. I can't picture him in Jamaica with a corona on the beach.

Business is business. Why would anybody work for less than the going rate? It would make no sense for those guys to take a deal that's under the market value. Now if they are trying to break the bank, I can see the problem. But in this report, it didn't say they were trying to break the bank.

They should have kept Sterlin Sharpe. Yes, he was a loud mouth. But he made valid points while being a loud mouth. As long as you make valid points, it's cool to be loud. He's doing a good job on Playbook on the NFL Network.

Why is it cool to yell? People yell when they are arguing, you don't have to argue at the camera. It's totally idiotic and I'm surprised you don't understand that. I'm guilty of yelling but not at a camera. Sterling Sharpe was better than Irvin. Shannon is still rough and sometimes hard to even understand, but will get better over time.
Taking the lesser of two evils I would rather have Sanders.
So tell me why do Irvin and M.A. Smith yell? Are they afraid the camera is going to yell back or they don't have people adjusting the volume in the booth? Can you imagine it if they didn't automatically turn down the master when these guys get on camera? Yelling doesn't make your points any more valid, in fact, it makes them less valid. Force feeding their own opinions by yelling doesn't make them intelligent.

I hope Irvin leaves Neon Leon should sign with the Cheefs, they could use a #1 CB.

Some people are just louder and more flamboyant than others. I don't mind it if they are making good points. I kind of like it. That's why I always like Sterling Sharpe. He was funny, and he made great points. Being loud is just the type of person he is.

It's not a matter of "flamboyance" at all. They make stupid points and yell to make them. We have a crack whore yelling and your all over it.
