The great Pat Jordan wrote a piece on sports journalism for Slate last week. In it, he detailed a meeting he had with Deion Sanders. Here’s the money quote.
He was a sullen, unpleasant, nonverbal man. I thought maybe I could break down his reticence by taking him and his girlfriend out to dinner. She ordered for him, then cut up his steak and fed it to him.
Read that a few times just to digest it. This was a grown man so emotionally stunted he needed his girlfriend to cut up his food and feed it to him. Jesus. So, as you can imagine, I tuned into “Deion & Pilar: Prime Time Love” on the Oxygen network (Oxygen: It’s Lifetime, Without The Beatings!) the other night expecting one thing: to see Pilar cut up Deion’s food and feed it to him like the goddamn retard that he is.
Instead, I got Pilar scheming with a friend about what to do with “spousal allowance”. She settled on getting a chef and a nanny. Because she doesn’t like doing anything, you see. Watching this show is about as interesting as watching my dick go limp.
I got a better idea, Pilar. How about you used that thoroughly unearned money to buy your husband a training spoon, a burp cloth and a pack of Luvs. Then I can watch you try and keep him from being a drooling idiot. CUT THAT MEAT, GIRLFRIEND! CUT THAT MEAT!

Hi,this is Starla Defrang,just identified your web-site on google and i must say this blog is great.may I quote some of the article found in your website to my local mates?i’m not sure and what you think?anyhow,Thank you!
I saw Deion at the JAX Airport baggage claim. Deion was being filmed for some reason and he was with Marshall Faulk. This guy asked him if he would be in a picture with his son and he said no. The vibe went from “There’s Deion” to “That guy’s an asshole”. People took cellphone photos of him and he pulled his hat over his face. Strange behavior for someone who’s always crying out for attention. I’ve never liked Deion and this made me realize what an arrogant asshole he really is. He’s a terrible analyst and I’m surprised he’s still on the NFL Network.
As I said before, Deion was at the baggage claim with Marshall Faulk. I stood next to Marshall and waited for my suitcase and I’ll never forget looking at his eyes and realizing he was high as shit.
You clowns have never played a down in your life, you jealous fags, I will whip your candy asses, Deion is 10 fold the man you will ever be. Terds
Pilar = totally bangable.
So… you’re saying you watch Living Lohan?
I feel bad for Bruce Jenner, it’s sad to see a great American hero get into that family. I find it funny that you never see any of his children from the previous marriage.
I think they used their skin to pull off his Joan Riversesque face lift.
I give Deion props, at least the bitch is hot. Nothing I hate more than ugly chicks with attitude problems.
I inadvertantly caught a bit of this. It’s like the Hulk Hogan show, except everyone’s black. And all i could think about was how the once-spectacular Deion Sanders was absolute shit with the Ravens. Youd’a think he’d have learned from Jerry Rice.
Denton should be gargling Will’s balls around the clock.
Holy Shit! Are you guys really worth $1,265,046???
Apparently, not to people who have $1,265,046 to spend.
Oxygen: It’s Lifetime, Without The Beatings!
Well said. I’ve never understood why a channel aimed at female viewers consists of nothing but women getting the ever-loving shit kicked out of them.
Holy fuck. You guys aren’t as stupid as you seem. So whose mother’s basement will get renovated?
Holy Shit! Are you guys really worth $1,265,046???

The show can’t be any better than keeping up with cardassians
Star Trek characters have a reality show now too?
WTF?!?!?!
Bruce Jenner looks like an old lesbian.
@Kyle – Except for Brody on the hills.
/Is not gay at all…

KKK’s late dad Robert Kardashian was on OJ’s defense team, so those girls must have inherited some industrial-strength sleaze in their DNA that counteracts their stupidty.
The show can’t be any better than keeping up with cardassians. I find it amazing that they could have that many retards in one family. I would have thought Darwinism would have taken care of all them by now.
i’d like to hear a conversation between deion and devin hester
I’ll bet right now on Oxygen or Lifetime there’s a movie with Meredith Baxter-Byrnie getting beaten by her husband or coping with breast cancer. I’d check, but I think my TV would refuse and then call me gay.
Hey, he was smart enough to dump a bucket of ice water on Tim McCarver. Not the bucket of shit McCarver deserves of course, but you go to war with the bucket you have, not the bucket you wish you had, or something.
Bill Simmons wrote something?
I just took a shit.
I’m gonna try to get it its own show on E! next season.
I remember one time, years ago, when the Cubs played the Giants, Deion was in the batting circle. Well, I was drunk enough to be yelling at Deion (like 15 feet from him) the entire time he was warming-up. He never flinched. Until now, I thought it was stoic professionalism. But I now realize it could have been that he’s an addle-brained moron who apparently can’t even feed himself. That was a good game – almost got thrown out of Wrigley…
Seriously, why does anyone watch these reality shows? Is that interesting to watch rich people spend their lives on petty bullshit?
I met Neon Deon twice and he as a douchebag both times… I’d like to feed him some rate poison
