Prime Time gives a Hall of Fame speech to remember


(Fast forward to the 5:00 mark)

"See the problem is with some dreams, the dreams are only about you. If your dream ain't bigger than you, there is a problem with your dream."

Leave it to Prime Time to steal the show at this year's Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

The truth is, Deion Sanders' speech was the one we were all waiting for, the one we expected to bring the house down. What is surprising is why Sanders' speech was so great. Yesterday, we saw a side of Prime Time we've never seen. We heard the story of the promise he made to his mom that she would never work another day in her life. We learned of the night in his FSU dorm room that Prime Time came to life.

"I pre-rehearsed the sayings because I knew I had the substance. I knew I had the goods, I knew I had the work ethic, but I needed to secure myself enough that my mama would never have to work another day of her life."

Was the speech truly from the heart, or just another pre-rehearsed act from Sanders? I'll leave that for you to decide. But one thing is for sure, Prime Time can deliver one hell of a speech.
