Deion Sanders Called Out Kevin Byard For Not Knowing Football Because Byard Is Just "A Fan". Plot Twist: Kevin Byard Is An All-Pro Safety For The Titans
That right there is a good old fashioned Twitter murder, folks. Put the toe tag labeled Prime Time on the victim and zip up the bodybag. Deion calling out not only a current player for being a fan but a first team All-Pro who plays in the secondary just like Deion did way back when. I mean rhyming a fan and the man was nice I suppose. Deion was always a great shit talker. But I think I have to score the rest of the beef 100-0 for Byard. In fact, I haven’t seen someone get dismantled quicker on Twitter than when our handsome lad Uncle Chaps took down that rando last year.
Poor Deion even tried to subtweet from the afterlife.
Consider me more shocked than anyone though. Am I supposed to believe that former NFL player and current NFL #expert Deion Sanders may not know all that much about current NFL players? We have been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray! When I tune into NFL Network for the pregame and postgame analysis, I expect only the best insights from the studio guys. Granted you have to just listen really closely and block out the cackling by the hosts and nonsense like this.

If you don’t think those guys know more about the player’s in today’s game than the actual current players that are studying film and making All-Pro teams, then, well, then you are probably Deion Sanders I guess. I mean I know that nobody outside of Titans fans has cared about the Titans since Steve McNair left town (RIP). And I know there are a lot of players in the NFL. 53 per team to be exact. Times that by 32 and (blogger’s math) you have A LOT of players. It’s hard to keep track of them all. But knowing the best of the best in the sport you cover for a living seems like a good place to for actual NFL analysts. Plus it’s not like the Titans were in the playoffs for 2 rounds when the herd thinned out and maybe came across Byard’s name.
The biggest lesson in all this for Deion is that you have to check someone’s name on Google or at least their Twitter profile before you roast them.
I know the blue checkmark doesn’t mean much in 2018. But the 2 seconds it takes to read a bio and look at the avi would have saved Deion some headaches. Granted, wearing a Pro Bowl jersey probably tripped up Deion. He probably thought it was some dude wearing a high school jersey. Nope, just a first team All-Pro safety asking for a little bit of respect. Maybe if Deion was drafting the Pro Bowl rosters this year he would have known who Byard is. Probably not, but maybe.
