Deion Sanders never gets enough of engaging himself in interesting father-son banter whenever he gets the chance and this time, it’s about his fishing lake. Well Off Media recently captured an exciting conversation on YouTube between him and his son Shedeur Sanders arguing over his lake back at home in Colorado. He called out his youngest son’s bizarre action saying, “You drained my whole lake.”
In response, Shedeur Sanders remained unflinching and bluntly stated, “We didn’t have a verbal agreement” that he shouldn’t drain his lake. Coach Prime casually touted him saying, “That’s common sense. You don’t need no verbal agreement for that.” Considering Deion Sanders’ love for fishing, this action by Shedeur Sanders is truly a big thing as it cost him a lot of fish and he had to go ahead to restore and replenish it.

During the offseason, the two shared amicable time doing what they love best at Prime Lake where the 20-year-old reaped his attention by catching a 10-pound fish after which he taunted Deion Sanders saying, “I’m the fishing God.” Needless to say, all Coach Prime could say at that time was to exclaim, “Oh my God!” But it’s clear from his off-field ventures that Deion Sanders isn’t just about sticking to the football field. He knows how to enjoy quality time with his loved ones, marking him as both a practical father and a capable head coach.
