"I love me ... " What does he say?

[Tunescribe]

T.O. has said this, now Deion Sanders is saying it. It goes something like, "I love me some me." Anyone know what exactly they're saying and what it means?

They love themselves and only look out for numero uno. Doesn't sound like TO or Deion, does it?

Yeah, but is that what they're saying? "I love me some me." It doesn't make any sense.

Does anything they say?

Yes, they say exactly that. It's basically the equivelent of saying "I rule!". Yes, it is a regular part of my vocabulary.

Is this a news flash? If you gave me that quote without attributing it to anyone, my first suspect would be TO. My second suspect would be Deion. Bingo, I have bingo!

Edit: Additional comment added:
Given this, I'm not surprised this saying has made it into the professional sports world vernacular. Guess we saw it coming when players started talking about themselves in third person. It's a very different world for some of these people compared to the average "person on the street."

I guess it's ebonics for something... I don't understand it either.

But hey, I bring nothing to the table.
