When ‘Coach Prime’ Deion Sanders Walked Away From an Awkward Derek Jeter Conversation Laughing

Sports is perhaps life’s ultimate motivator. Winning a game after everyone has written you off is a feeling that only a few can describe or even claim to have experienced but those that have are a lucky bunch. Professional athletes go through these moments several times in their career and when two titans meet, they usually strike up a familiar conversation. Usually, and not always, as witnessed between the former MLB legend and NFL coach, Prime Time.

When the opportunity was laid down to meet MLB Icon and 5x World Series Champion Derek Jeter, only a few would have shied away from the opportunity. Least of all a member of the sports fraternity that appreciated winning in clutch moments. But fact indeed is stranger than fiction as this meeting did not go to plan for NFL coach, Deion Sanders.
