Deion Sanders: Smart Commentator?

[FSUPatsFan]

I was just watching the NFLN pregame show. While Matt Millen, Joe Theisman, and Steve Marriucci, and Marshall Faulk were trying to explain Peyton's struggles by using injuries as an excuse, Deion interrupts and says "WHY DO WE HAVE TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR THIS GUY EVERY TIME HE PLAYS LIKE GARBAGE?!" While the other commentator sticking to their guns, Deion went on to say that Peyton Manning is the least sacked quarterback in the league and still has an All-pro receiver in Reggie Wayne and Pierre Garcon who everyone thought was great last year.

He then went on to ask the others what Tom had that the others didn't. The exchange went like this:

Theisman: Deion Branch
Deion: He's 60
Marriucci: Woodhead
Deion: He's 12
Milen: Gronkowski and Hernandez
Deion: Rookies

Good to see someone saying what Patriots fans have been saying all along. Must be that FSU education.

 

[Disco Volante]

I quite enjoyed that.

 

[Jangles]

I quite enjoyed that.

Indeed

rather good chuckle

Deion is USUALLY an idiot, but he had a brief moment of clear thinking tonight!

Unlike Marshall Faulk, who (SURPRISE, SURPRISE) really likes the Bears at home and expects their defense to give Tom Brady and the Patriots a whole lot of problems!

That may be true, but Marshall should just admit his hate for the Pats. It's beyond embarrassing.

That last part is funny as hell. Woodhead, he's 12. Priceless.

Deion loves Brady and calls out Manning when nobody else will.

Yep, I don't always appreciate Deion, but he definitely runs against the current in his admiration of TFB. Good on him!

What gets me is everyone mentions that the Bears are the #3 defense, giving up only 16 points per game, and it will be a test for New England. Want to guess who number #2 is? Pittsburgh with 15.9, what did NE put up on them, 39?

I know there is no direct correlation, but it isn't like NE is scoring bunches of points on bad teams.

SSDD

Marshall Faulk would pick the Carolina Panthers, if they were playing the Pats in Foxboro and all had pneumonia.

 

[RodThePat]

I don't care what anyone thinks, Deion is entertaining as hell. Even when he picked the Jets "in a rout" in Foxborough I couldn't hate on the guy because he just speaks his mind and is very funny on top of that.

posted in another thread, this is what he tweeted during MNF

Wow I'm not in front of a tv but I hear BRADY is doing his thang. How could I pick against Brady at home. Okay I'm the dummy so far. Truth

 

[juny]

I don't mind Deion, he says it like it is.

Nice of hiim to own up to his mistake on twitter too.

 

[BradyBranch39]

I don't care what anyone thinks, Deion is entertaining as hell.

yep. It doesn't matter what he says, I always end up laughing at something.

Must be that FSU education.

Glad to see you are proud of your alma mater, but from what I have heard the next time Deion Sanders sees the inside of an FSU classroom, it will be his first.

I love your sig pic Nikolai. How did you make it? if I may ask.

Thanks! I grabbed pics of helmets from different teams, did some photoshoppery to them, put them in a transparent PNG format, and uploaded it here. I did it during the preseason, and it looks like I'm going to have to make some more for the playoffs.

Yeah, that made no sense to me, but looks awesome!

It's the "NBA"ization of the NFL.

Notice during the broadcast, that the Colt's QB is "Peyton" not "Manning".

In the 80's, the NBA went on the star thing and stars were favored.

Since Peyton is now the mediot star and GOAT, every convaluted logic and excuse needs to be exercised to torture the subject.

Just once, I'd like someone to ask why the GOAT can't be expected to perform if a defender is within a time zone and a skill guy is out with injury.

Besides, were not these same idiots telling us immediately post Moss that the Pats had zero weapons?
