Why would a father want to hang something like that around their own son's neck?
If my son called me up and said "Dad, I just got drafted in the fourth found," my first words to him would be congratulations. I'm not sure that word will be the first one on Deion's mind.

Totally agree. In another sign of the times, I was reading in the NY Post that Abdul Carter, who has played zero snaps in the NFL, asked Lawrence Taylor -- arguably the greatest player in NFL history -- to allow his retired 56 jersey number to be reissued to Carter. Good on LT for saying no. I hope Abdul Carter kicks ass in the league, but come on man.
