Anyone who watched Deion Sanders' reality show knows he has an ego. The Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl champ named two of his kids after himself: Deion, Jr. and Deiondra. Tuesday, he flashed that primadonna side again.
According to multiple news outlets, Sanders got upset when a reporter called him "Deion" at a college football media day. The NFL Hall of Famer went off when a journalist addressed him by only his first name. Sanders said, "You don't call Nick Saban 'Nick.' Don't call me Deion. If you call Nick (Saban), Nick, you'll get cussed out on the spot, so don't do that to me." Prime Time also demanded, "Treat me like Nick."
When he was yet again called simply "Deion", he got up and walked out of the press conference. So, if you happen to run into Neon Deion, be sure to address him as "Coach Prime". He seemingly verified the encounter by replying to a Tweet from another interviewer.
