Prime Time or Bad Re-Run?
Deion Sanders is being paid $2 million to return to the NFL. It's probably a positive development for TV viewers who believed Sanders' suits drowned out his pedestrian commentary on CBS' NFL pregame show.
But is it a good move for the Baltimore Ravens? Can a 37-year-old who's been out of the league for three years make much of an impact as a nickelback? Forgive me for being a little skeptical about the return of "Prime Time." He wasn't exactly setting the world on fire -- or tackling anyone -- with the Redskins when he first retired.

I have tried to think of a positive aspect to Deion's return to competition. Here is the only silver lining I can think of: He has some support for induction in Canton. Perhaps between resetting the five year waiting period and showing his likely diminished skills, his candidacy will be sufficiently tarnished to keep him out of the HOF.
