Deion Sanders should stick to what he knows. Coaching and doing commercials.
During the NFL draft last week, Sanders' two sons, Shedeur, a quarterback, and Shilo, a safety, weren't picked until Shedeur was drafted by Cleveland on Saturday. On Sunday, Shilo signed as an undrafted free agent with Tampa Bay, and announced he had signed with one of the top agents in the NFL, Drew Rosenhaus. Until Sunday, Deion acted as a de facto agent for his sons, a la LaVar Ball.
Unlike La Loud Mouth, though, Deion Sanders, who shills for Chime, AFLAC, and, briefly, DirecTV, was actually a superstar in two sports. However, Shedeur has caught some heat for pre-draft statements & posturing, prompting WFAN morning co-host Boomer Esiason to refer to Shedeur as "entitled".
Prior to that, it was reported that Shedeur was pranked on Friday night by some clown claiming to be New Orleans GM Mickey Loomis. In reality, the phone scammer was Jax Ulbrich, son of Atlanta defensive coordinator and former Indianapolis head coach Jeff Ulbrich. The younger Ulbrich owned up on Sunday to having access to his dad's phone.
The irony here, of course, is that Deion started his NFL career in Atlanta, during which time he appeared in a Hammer music video ("2 Legit to Quit"), and cut his own CD, which, if memory serves, was produced by Hammer (Stanley Burrell).
Inevitably, the brothers will meet as opponents. It's just a question of when.
===============================================
Further clouding the draft is a report circulating that White House press shill Karoline Leavitt is trying to credit president Trump with getting Shedeur Sanders drafted. Both Leavitt and Trump are so clueless to think Orange Nachismo's whining on Truthless Social had anything to with the decisions of NFL owners & coaches. It didn't.
Back to Boomer. He claimed on the air on Monday, having been in Green Bay for the draft, that a number of owners took Shedeur off their draft boards because the incoming rookie rubbed them the wrong way. I shan't be surprised to think that this was actually Deion's doing.
I often referred to Ball as the Fred Sanford of stage parents. Deion, then, is George Jefferson.
After getting screwed on a triple play that wasn't on Friday, and seeing their bullpen spring a leak again on Sunday (Ryan Stanek either won't be closing games anytime soon, or is hiding an injury), the Mets vented on Washington on Monday to the tune of a 19-5 beatdown. Ex-Marlin Jose Urena, making his Mets debut, got a 3 inning save despite giving up all 5 Nationals runs in the 8th inning. Ex-Met Amed Rosario pitched the 9th for Washington, and poured gasoline on the fire with a collection of eephus & lollipop pitches.....
The Mets are back home to play Arizona beginning tonight.
