    Stephen A been to too many ATL strip clubs. Every time he mentions the city he gets excited.
  • @fairplayjay
    This felt like a barbershop convo. Loving this energy lol
  • @jakim3416
    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.
  • @LexDime
    Deion Sander is unmatched as an athlete & human being he’s definitely going down as the greatest in my books
  • I just heard somebody use cocaine as a positive in GOAT debate. This is the peak of sports
  • @faraz1218
    “Prime time is so prime time, they put the brotha on television on prime time” lol
  • @kerke4639
    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.

    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.
  • @drockrodriguez
    if i see LT snortin crack on the sidelines before a game im tellin coach to bench me FOH
  • Stephen A definitely has a point, Deion was literally unstoppable in basically everything he did on the field!!
  • Probably for the first time in my 40 years I completely agree with Steven A 💯💯💯💯 primetime did it all
  • @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...
  • @clydeft1083
    Primetime is the Michael Jordan, Roy Jones jr., Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson of football. I remember how impactful he was. That godly perfection.
  • @bonniekeough244
    Bo Jackson is my favorite, most dynamic athlete I ever watched.
  • 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?
  • @timgardner3681
    Deion would walk into the Falcon's locker room in the middle of the season after playing baseball, and IMMEDIATELY change that team from crappy to terrific. I remember Jimmy Johnson saying this very thing. Never seen a player do that in such a team-centric sport as football. Brady could, if given enough time, but Deion was an instant PRESENCE. He brought a magic to every team he played for. Closest thing to a superhero you'll ever see in the NFL.
  • @jesuschrist3165
    When you’re high stepping from the 50 and no ones coming close to catching you...yeah he just might be the best of all time. Oh and he was the key reason for multiple teams winning a Super Bowl as a corner back!
