If there was any doubt — and the honchos will tell you there never was — Barstool Sports is ready for Prime Time. Officially.
Deion Sanders has joined Barstool Sports in the aftermath of his exit from The NFL Network.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back and return specialist joined Barstool Wednesday.
Sanders, who exited NFL Network reportedly after declining to take a pay cut, will join the independent operation that relishes periodically (or more often) poking a finger in the eye of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Sanders will have a podcast, make regular appearances on the Pardon My Take podcast, and also be part of a Sunday pregame show.
Of course, it was introduced with a tweet that included some risque, NSFW language:
Deion Sanders is ready to talk that shit at Barstool Sports.
