Deion Sanders, Sports Agent = Poor Man's Master P

Jason Whitlock is known as much for his unhealthy love of high school teammate Jeff George as he is for speaking his mind, even if it might not be in his best interest.

By those standards, his most recent FoxSports.com column is relatively benign, although Deion Sanders -- the target of Whitlock's ire -- might feel differently.

Forty-Niners first-round pick Michael Crabtree finally signed his contract this week after spending all preseason and the first month of the season pimping Subway subs. Turns out part of the hold-up wasn't with Crabtree's agent, Eugene Parker, but with his "advisor," Primetime. At least according to Whitlock, who affectionately refers to him as Deion "Master D" Sanders.

This thing smells like a Sanders concoction. Ever since Master D negotiated himself off the high-profile CBS studio show and onto the low-profile NFL Network studio show, he's been buddying up (mentoring/advising) to young NFL players as a way of remaining relevant. ...

The clown suit Master D just put on Crabtree might never be topped. Not only did Master D play a role in convincing Crabtree he could get paid based on the word of Mel Kiper rather than the checkbook of an NFL owner, Master D capped it off by sending another 1990s has-been and financial idiot (MC Hammer) to Crabtree's contract surrender.

Whitlock was just getting started: "Crabtree is a joke. He looks like the most naive and dumb athlete since Forrest Gump quit playing college football. ... Roger Goodell needs to close Master D Mentoring. The D stands for destruction or dumb, not Deion."

Hopefully, Primetime will take this as constructive criticism. Because Whitlock also writes that "Deion Sanders was one of my favorite athletes of all time." And Jeff George just died a little inside.

In more disturbing news, Whitlock has been working out just got Photoshop.
