Deion Sanders (HC Colorado, Father of SubPrime)

I had a lot of respect for his performance as an athlete, notwithstanding the distractions, but Coach Prime is a self-promoting idiot.
That’s the whole point though. Prime and Coach Prime are characters that Deion plays to promote his brand (Prime). They aren’t Deion the man.

Once I set aside my personal distaste for self promotion, the only thing Coach Prime does that I find disappointing is use race in a way that helps him but, imo, doesn’t promote any kind of progress on the topic.

I do think he should be in the “influencers HOF” if they ever make one because he invented the genre decades before there was social media.

At this point, I don't think Deion the man exists. You become this famous and rich because of the character you play......you just adopt the character as your actual persona.

Skip Bayless, Stephen A Smith, Herbie..........they just play characters on TV. Until they can't differentiate between themselves and the version that is making them stupid rich.

Maybe. Maybe not.

None of us get to see the men so it’s impossible to say.
