“Prime time is so prime time, they put the brotha on television on prime time” lol

Stephen A been to too many ATL strip clubs. Every time he mentions the city he gets excited.

[hikmatmohammadi]

You see how much fun we can have without Molly?

[jakim]

Stephen A won this one. Prime Time did so much for every team it was insane, and he dominated in everything he did. Changed every game he was in just by being on the field.

[TheCamojorel]

Another reason Primetime is the greatest...
When another teammate would make an interception, they wouldn't run it back themselves, they would go find primetime, lateral back to him and let him run it back...
Bruh... Ridiculous...

I just heard somebody use cocaine as a positive in GOAT debate. This is the peak of sports

Deion Sander is unmatched as an athlete & human being he’s definitely going down as the greatest in my books

[jasonbailes]

Deion is one of two players in NFL history to score a touchdown six different ways (interception return, punt return, kickoff return, receiving, rushing and fumble recovery). The other is fellow Hall of Famer Bill Dudley.

Again, the argument being that he could hurt you in any area of the game.

Offenses just ignored his side for the most part.

Deion gets my vote.

Stephen A said: "Prime Time is so prime time, the brother is on television, they don't put him on anything else but Prime Time." What can you say after that?

[joejohnson]

One of two players ever to score TDs 6 different ways
1) INT return
2) fumble return
3)kickoff return
4) punt return
5) receiving
6) rushing

[kerke]

Deion was sensational. Man has over 25 yards an interception. He runs 1/4th of the field after his interception. That is insane and he was an interception and pick six machine. And he would shut down your receivers but also outplay them on offense and make your corners look like hot garbage. His ability to run after a catch is second to none. The players on his team would actually give the ball to Deion after an interception because they all knew Deion would run away with it the same way he does after he caught those interceptions, passes, punts or kicks. Any ball that came through the air he caught it no matter which team it came from.

Deion is one of the best athletes evwr period... Guy can do anything

[jameswhite]

Deion played defense and offense kickoff and punt return nobody did more for a football team

[outlawaz]

When Molly is gone the show is more Relaxed and is wayyyy more watchable

[christhecommentator]

Stephen A definitely has a point, Deion was literally unstoppable in basically everything he did on the field!!

[SkyylyfeOrNoLife]

It Will Never Be Another Deion Sanders. I Agree.

[TrevorJacksonTV]

Lawrence Taylor would go to jail if he played in today’s NFL

[esiasboo]

I must say...deion played a nfl and pro basball game in the sameday...who has or will do that before, then, and moving forward

[SHERIFFr]

Dude when you knew Prime Time was playing, you structured your Sunday or Monday, accordingly. Same as MJ, Barry Sanders, Tyson...few transcendent greats...he was one.
