Agreed. I'm usually a fan of what Dieon has to say but, that wasn't necessary. Would of been better if he said don't fit or even doesn't deserve the cover but, to attack his team isn't right. I love the out spoken prime time but, that was very disrespectful especially with his choice of words.

Dude they were 5-11 = garbage. Hate a man for lying not telling the truth

Yeah if you want to call them garbage go ahead. The 5-11 record wasn't a true indication of how much the team improved, but thats a discussion for another time.

The fact of the matter is that Deon Sanders had no business saying what he said. He should conduct himself in a professional manner. You don't go calling teams garbage when you work as an analyst. That is extremely unprofessional.

All analysts are not the same nor follow the same code. I guess Deion is trying to set himself up like the football version of Barkley. Someone who says what's on his mind, some love it some don't. Implying that analysts should only speak in positive terms regarding teams is erroneous. I've seen much worse said by analysts regarding all sorts of things. We can all agree Deion is somewhat of a "different" character but I fail to see how anything he did was "unprofessional"

Woah there. I never said an analyst can only speak positive about a team or player. There is a fine line between being critical and calling a team garbage.

They aren't drunk fans, or sitting around with their buddies talking junk. They are paid to be professional, and calling a team garbage is nothing close to professional.

I'm very, very happy about the expanded rosters. Looks like I'll have to buy the game this year.

Fair enough, lol but come on man you know Deion was keeping it real. He wasn't there as an NFL Network analyst or saying it on national tv he was just being honest (according to what he thinks) about the video game cover. MAdden is honoring a dude who was on team with a 5-11 record. When else has the cover guy for MAdden been from a losing team. Everything Deion said was accurate. Now I understand as a Cleveland fan (I'm assuming) why you would be disappointed (being a Houston native I feel your pain), but good old Prime Time wasn't out of bounds on this play
