Deion making a comeback?

sportscurmudgeon · 08-16-2004, 04:32 PM

I'm surprised no one here has jumped on the report today that Deion Sanders might like to make a comeback as a nickel back for the Ravens.

Normally, any mention of his name in the news generates a lot of venom here. Why is everyone so quiet? Is this the "Forgiving Season"? Did I miss a memo somewhere?

I was busy puking after I read the report.....

cpayne5 · 08-16-2004, 04:55 PM

Do we still have rights to him?

EEich · 08-16-2004, 04:57 PM

I think we waived them last year.

SmootSmack · 08-16-2004, 04:58 PM

This is the first I heard of it, is this because of Dale Carter? Was there actually any indication that there is actual discussion or is he just saying that he'd like to play for them. Who are your sources? C'mon Curmudgeon! Don't give us a half-ass post like that, you know better!....I'm just messin' wit' ya

Crap. I wish we had the power to keep him out of the league.

Well I do too, but of course when Deion bitched about Shottenheimer, then retired, only to want to play again for the Raiders, Dan let him out of the contract, another to add to the list of things Dan has done to piss me off. We wasted so much money on that guy, and you are going to just let him go? Not that I would ever play him, as Dan did in the first place, but thats another story

SD last had rights to him, not sure what his situation is now.

oldswill · 08-16-2004, 05:43 PM

shouldn't have had the rights to the ex cowpie in the first place, thanks danny!

Best Case Scenario - Deion Sanders goes to play for the Ravens this season, who we play on October 10th.

In the first quarter, Gibbs decides to make Deion look like the moron he is and inserts Pita Elisara at H-Back. Elisara runs a slant and since he is such a pimp he makes a cut and Deion Sanders breaks his ankle trying to cover him. Then Deion lies on the ground like a bitch and starts crying.

Hasselbeck (who is starting by now) throws a bullet to Elisara who catches the ball one-handed, and then picks up Deion with his other hand and swings him around like a club, knocking defenders away while he sprints to the endzone.

Touchdown.

I would bet on the latter. Kinda like when he decided he wanted to be a head coach (was it Atlanta he was going to coach??) LOL LOL LOL

i'm NOT A FAN. sorry deion.

Daseal · 08-16-2004, 07:06 PM

Trash him all you like, but in his hay day one of the best CBs of all time. I don't agree with what he did to the skins, but he was one hell of a player in his day.

In closing - Give it up. You make a ton of money announcing and you don't have to work near as hard.

MTK · 08-16-2004, 07:42 PM

Pita = Pimp

LOL

aehs77 · 08-16-2004, 11:44 PM

what makes him think he could make a decent comeback now. the only football he has played in the last three years was in the rock n jock on mtv. and nelly was giving him trouble.
