Well, the Colorado Buffaloes fans definitely are the luckiest. After all, they are blessed with one of the most colorful head coaches of college football, Deion Sanders. Coach Prime brilliantly switches between his on-field and off-field characters. Once he puts on the head-coaching cap, he does not want any mess-ups and demands full attention from the players. And when he is beyond his duty hours, Deion is one of the most fun people to be around. After all, we have seen how he went on fishing sprees with Travis Hunter. This happy-go-lucky personality is due to his bond with people from different walks of life. One such person is a $200M comedian, and Deion never misses a moment to flex their bond like he did with a six-word message.
The man who turns out to be Deion’s favorite is none other than one of the popular show Family Feud’s hosts, Steve Harvey. He has been holding the role since 2010. As we all know, Harvey first became nationally famous as a standup comedian in the 1980s, and over the years, he has reached great heights as a comedian. Out of the roughly $40 million Steve earns every year, $10 million comes from Family Feud, and $20 million comes from his radio hosting salary. Deion and Harvey have shared several memorable moments together over the years. And no one describes Harvey better than Coach Prime. “My dawg so clean he dirty.”
Deion wrote this caption posting a picture of Harvey on IG on May 17. In the picture, the Family Feud star is spotted looking dapper in a shiny black-colored suit. His accessories game has been on point as usual, as Harvey flaunted a golden colored brooch, oomphing up his style quotient with a tinted pair of glasses. This style statement definitely needed a hype from someone whom Harvey has known over the years. And Deion definitely fits into that list. On July 8, 2022, the Buffs head coach made an appearance on the Steve TV Show with Tracy Edmonds, with whom he was engaged back then. That episode went viral for Deion’s lovey-dovey statement, “Trust her that if something ever happens, she know I got her.” This made the Deion-Edmonds fans happy. However, the couple called the engagement off in December 2023.
Just like Harvey has seen it all, Deion, too, has been a part of his journey. When Harvey announced that he would do his final comedy show in 2012, this did not sit well with Deion. He then sent a video message. “Steve, my man they tell me you’re ending your standup comedy career. What does that mean… how can you stop being funny?” Just like Coach Prime has been a constant inspiration for Harvey, here comes another person with whom Deion bonded beyond the field of sports.
Deion Sanders and the singer who believed in him
Deion, every now and then, gives a shoutout to his confidants who have been part of his journey. One such person is Coach Prime’s singer friend, E. Dewey Smith. In June 2022, the Buffs’ head coach tweeted an old picture with Smith, where the duo shared the stage. The caption perfectly captured their bond as Deion wrote, “@edeweysmith My man of God.” It marked an important period for the Buffs squad. They had their big weekend lineup to woo Colorado’s favorite Julian “JuJu” Lewis, who was yet to give his word.
Re-tweeting the post, Smith wrote, “Let’s Go @DeionSanders!!!!! We’ve got another BIG weekend my friend!!!!” Amidst the hyping up session, only a few know about Deion’s role in Smith’s life. They have shared a bond for over two decades now. Back in 2003, when Smith was a pastor of Beaulahland Bible Church, on one lucky occasion, he met Deion at a conference. And that’s when the duo clicked. Post which their friendship has been running in turbo mode.
Having full confidence in his friend’s abilities, the singer once said, “He’s going to be successful wherever he goes because he’s Deion “Primetime” Sanders, and people are praying for him and believe in him and know his heart.” And Deion Sanders did make his old friend proud by pushing hard and bringing Julian Lewis home. No wonder Deion’s got that spark. After all, his close circle ranges from comedians to singers.
