Deion Sanders has never been one to bite his tongue. Whether it was locking down receivers in his “Prime Time” days or coaching up Colorado Buffs’ next generation of stars, he’s always had that unapologetic, unfiltered energy. But every now and then, someone tries him — someone forgets that Prime doesn’t just give life advice to his boys, he was and is a gangsta. That translates to, whenever Deion Sanders wants to switch to savage mode, he can do that too, in an instant. That’s exactly what happened recently, and the way Sanders handled it and stitched a former Dallas QB. That had the West Coast legend himself, who knows all about showmanship, drop a 3-word lyric.

Snoop Dogg, hip-hop royalty and lifelong football fanatic, couldn’t resist sharing the moment on Instagram. What happened was Deion Sanders was made a comment by Tony Romo during a Dallas Cowboys game. The NFL Hall of Fame and inductee dual-athlete, who is the only athlete to play in a Super Bowl and MLB World Series, “checked him” in Neon Deion style, only thing missing was his iconic sunglasses. Snoop Dogg, whose Instagram is filled with memes, shared the old clip of Prime hilariously chirping at the former Dallas QB (2003 to 2016), Romo and captioned the post “Prime being prime.”

Yep, Just three words. That’s all he needed to say because the clip itself was pure gold. Deion Sanders didn’t hesitate to unload the clip. “See Tony, I tried my best to take the high road, but I don’t know, I don’t know the address to the high road. So I got to come at you, man,” Prime started, setting the tone for what was about to be one of the coldest reality checks ever delivered on live television. He didn’t just stop at Romo’s career shortcomings — he dismantled them, layer by layer.

“Ten years as a starter, you’re two and four in the playoffs. You ain’t won nothing. I tried to bury the hatchet. Both of us work for CBS. I went and shook your hand and said, ‘Tony, you’re doing a great job this year.’ I thought that would be it. But nevertheless, you keep on shooting at me. Tony, what’s going on, man?” Coach Prime kept it coming, but wait, he isn’t done yet.

The final knockout punch — because Prime doesn’t just throw jabs; he lands haymakers. “I got a gold jacket that I didn’t buy. Dak (Prescott) says hi and bye. Tony, leave me alone, man.” We don’t blame Snoopy to laugh out loud on this one because he said this hilariously.

Sorry for the interruption, Sanders had one more in the chamber, “I got a lot of ammunition, man. How many interceptions? 19 in 2012.” By the way, CP had 53 interceptions throughout his 14 years in the league, with nine career pick-sixes notched the fifth most in NFL history. “Come on, man. You threw to everybody but me. Tony, come on, man. You know you never won the big one. You know you never won the big one. So stop, man. Leave me alone. I tried to take the high road, but I don’t know the address.” And just like that, mic drop. Game over. For all the confidence and charisma that Romo brought to his playing days and now his broadcasting career, this was a battle he never should’ve picked.

Sanders is a different breed, a player whose résumé speaks for itself — two Super Bowl rings and, a Hall of Fame induction. Romo, for all his regular-season success, never won the big one, and that’s something Prime wasn’t about to let slide.

Beware, Heisman winner, who plan’s on taking Sanders’s “gold jacket”

Travis Hunter wants more than Prime Time — he wants his own time. The 2024 Heisman Trophy winner and projected top-three pick has his eyes set on something bigger than just draft night. His goal? To outshine his legendary coach, Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders.

On The Travis Hunter Show, the 21-year-old didn’t hesitate when asked about his ultimate career goal.

“I need that gold jacket, whatever it’s going to take,” Hunter said, referencing the Hall of Fame honor that cemented Sanders’ legacy. “I got to outdo Coach Prime. So, I’ve got a Heisman Trophy — he don’t… I need to get that gold jacket and a Super Bowl, and I get to outdo him.”

That’s a tall order. Few players talk that big, and even fewer have the talent to back it up. But if anyone can do it, Hunter might be the guy. He’s already making history before even taking an NFL snap. Slated to work out as a defensive back at the 2025 NFL Combine, Hunter could become the first player at the position to ever go No. 1 overall.
