Guess who’s writing for the THE AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN …

Introducing ON THE LINE WITH PRIME, a somewhat regular online blog in which Deion Sanders, part-owner of the Austin Wranglers arena football team, weighs in on what’s hot in sports. In his most recent effort, Prime Time longs for the day in which the skin color of a coach no longer is news:

“Think about this: Michael Jordan was so good, we forgot he was an African-American. Magic fell into the same category. It’s like that way for football players like LaDainian Tomlinson and Vince Young. They’re so good people don’t discuss their skin color. All kids want to wear their uniform.”

Truth be told, this isn’t a bad piece, which makes you wonder if Prime Time — the guy who attended class at Florida State in the 1980s about as often as Halley’s Comet appeared in our skies — had some help. Then again, he is somewhat of an accomplished writer.
