Deion Sanders Reality Show Will Preview During Superbowl

Get ready to be entertained (or not) by another show that looks into the family life of another person who has fallen out of the media limelight. Former NFL cornerback and Major League Baseball Outfielder Deion Sanders will be starring in a reality show with his family in Deion and Pilar: Prime Time Love on Oxygen.

The episode that will air during half time at the Big Game will be shown without commercials. According to Reality TV Magazine, “Deion refuses to help with housework because he is too busy working on his football picks for a live radio show. Deion’s wife Pilar issues a challenge that if she can do his radio job just as good as he can, then Deion has to help with the housework. Also, daughter Deiondra has a hot date, and a very over-protective Deion wants to help her get ready.”

Wow, sounds like a family sitcom without the script. Hopefully the show will be better than his singing.
