First Take: Should Deion Sanders be in Ring of Honor?

[T-RO]

And that's just half of it.

Left Atlanta for its most hated rival. Left San Francisco for its most hated rival. Left Dallas for its most hated rival. Left Washington for its cross-town rival.

Best corner I ever saw, but a disgusting human being. Doesn't belong in the Ring.

He had a few meaningful seasons with the team. Talent was top-drawer but he helped drag the Cowboys team with the attitude he brought to the locker room. Bragged about his 'I don't tackle' business decisions. Is a mess of scandal and ego in his personal life. No thanks.

He shouldn't be... but they put Haley in so I'm not sure what the objection would be.

There would be a lot of objection with Deion. At least Haley helped put us over the top and was apart of all 3 championships in the 90s, while Deion was only part of one of our championships and helped keep us from three-peating as part of the 49ers in 94.

If Prime gets in then Lance Alworth and Ditka should be in. Key cogs in SB6 win. They were only here for 5 minutes too.

I was referring to Neon in my comment, not Haley. I feel there is a legit argument both for and against Haley. Not so with Neon.

And I was not directly commenting on your post, just needed to reference your post, so I could use my "orchestra" analogy. LOL.

Should Deion Sanders be in Ring of Honor?

HELL
NO.

Gotcha. I'm a fan of orchestras...

We were in decline during Deion's entire stint with the Cowboys. Even when he arrived in 95 we were on the way down. The fact he went on to play for Washington is a good enough reason to keep him out of the ROH.

 

[LandryFan]

Most versatile player to ever play the game.
Easily a yes.

He returned KO and punts and played a tiny bit of WR, but the vast majority of his play was as a CB. If you're not familiar with Sammy Baugh, look him up. He was versatile. He was a stinkin' Commander, but he was versatile.
Just to add, he had one game in which he threw for four TD's as QB and had four INT's as a DB. He also in the top 20 all time for yds per punt.

 

[KJJ]

No. He wasn't a Cowboy long enough.

He was a Cowboy for five seasons, the same as Charles Haley. There's too many reasons why Deion shouldn't be in the ROH.

 

[Idgit]

Oh, hell no.

 

[J_Allen]

Nope. Not in a million years. He doesn't represent what it means to be a Cowboy. He represents a selfish player with poor work ethic who strictly signed for money. Oh, and he was the biggest pansy I've ever seen.

 

[dfense]

No

 

[DCBoysfan]

A number of players that were instrumental to us winning SB's aren't and never will be in the ROH.

This player should be, when he joined Dallas he changed the balance of power from the 49ers, who had just beat us WITH Deion the year before.

I understand that it's debatable, but Haley changed the balance of power, IMO. I'll bet the 49ers would agree with me.

And then he had the nerve to complain that he was a "Hired Gun" after he was released by us.

Yes, of course you were you ignorant fool.

 

[Garrettop]

Two words: One not allowed here and No.

Haley shouldn't be in either but whatever.

 

[Longboysfan]

Noooooo........

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

The only ring of honor he should be in is Team Deion's ring of honor, I am sure he has one in his house.

When I think of Cowboys greats, he doesn't make my list. Was he great....yeah maybe, was he a Cowboy? Nope.

 

[haleyrules]

No!Deion was a great corner but not a great Cowboy. He was a mercenary. Absolutely no place on the Cowboy ring of honour for Sanders. I liked what he did form the club but players like Harvey Martin are far far more deserving. Heck, Danny White gave a lot more to the Cowboys than Sanders

 

[Luther]

No. Never.

Can't stand him on TV either:
"Me me me me me me."
