I have new respect for Deion Sanders. Back when I was a rabid football fan, I didn’t like all of his showboating. Very talented, though. If I remember right, he also played baseball.
He has been quite the brash showboater over the years. Part of it was having extreme talent and maybe a youthful attitude about how to behave. He did play both sports professionally.
When I saw this particular video it just kind of grabbed me inside. It seems like a bit of a dichotomy to have these two on stage together. On the outside, they would appear to be very different people. Deion's affection and chivalry for Miss Peggy said so much about his character to me. It looked like he brought his grandma out with him. Such affection and care. The feeling seemed mutual.
He showboated but he backed it up.
Before him cornerback was an unheralded position. If you did your job you wouldn’t get mentioned on air, only mentioned when your receiver catches a ball. So he created that persona to bring attention to the position.
The think I like about sanders is, the media always goes after him telling him what he can’t do then he does it. Look at how quickly he turned Colorado around. Even Feinbaum on college game day had to eat his words. He delivered in SanFran. Delivered defensively and special teams for the cowboys. Brought excitement to Atlanta football. Got Colorado excited about college football again.

His hop strut was the most famous dance in football until the Donald won that too.

He’s a showman. Let him cook.
