Original Story:
Jackson State won the first game of the Deion Sanders era 53-0. Coach Prime, however, had bad news to share at the postgame press conference.
According to reporters covering the Jackson State-Edwaters Waters game, Sanders shared that his belongings, including his wallet and cell phone, were stolen during the game. Sanders added that only his belongings were stolen from the locker room.
“How do you think it feels, coming back, teary-eyed – the guys just presented me with the game ball, one of the best moments that I’ve ever had in my career – and you notice you don’t have a phone to call your momma, your girl, your kids, because it’s been stolen,” Sanders told reporters, per Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated.
Dellenger shared more from Sanders’ press conference and exit from the stadium:
“We’re going to find out who did it,” Sanders says as he slams his hand against the table during his postgame news conference.
His wallet was stolen as well as his cell phone.

PrimeTime welcome to Jackson, MS. Better tighten up that security.
Hey Dion welcome to the hood. That’s your people. It is what it is.
It’s Jackson, Ms…are you not surprised?
I use to make regular runs through there out of Louisana through Vicksburg then Jackson. I never once, not one time, stopped in Jackson for gas, food, snacks. There were times I thought it better not to stop for a traffic light.
That’s a shame. I grew up in the delta and know Jackson well. Deion Sanders is getting them national attention by coaching there. 53-0 wins don’t come cheap. I hate to see someone ruin it for the whole university simply because they wanted to steal a figgin’ wallet and cell phone. They have security guards – how about using them?
That’s precisely what his frustration is about. He thinks the staff and security guards were a part of it.
So you do something about it behind the scenes. You don’t tell the world that your employer is employing a bunch of thieves.
Good job making it all about you, Deion.
Hey! He didn’t take credit for everything because no shoes were thrown. Just saying.
Was he playing at FSU during the Free Shoes U deal?
I think this article means that we have officially entered the College Football doldrums. I don’t care about Prime or Jackson State.
Gimme some SEC news! Or some bad news about Clemson.
Tune in tomorrow to see what new items have been stolen from Deion!
It’s getting old.

Next on ESPN, how this crime affects LeBron James and his reaction
Good one.
It’s black on black crime so LeBron will have nothing to say. Still chuckling from your post.
It sounds like Deion is liking being in the public eye again, even if it is bad publicity it is better than none. He also doesn’t seem to mind giving his employer a blackeye as long as he can get said publicity.
Nick Marshal knows about stealing possessions from locker rooms….was he around? Oh, that’s right. Only from teammates.
First game Deion loses he will blame everyone but himself. He’s the black Trump.
