SCHOTTENHEIMER'S REVENGE? I wonder if San Diego blocking Deion's return to football was a little revenge by head coach Marty Schottenheimer, who got nothing but bad blood from "Prime Time" when when Schottenheimer was the Redskins' head coach. In August of 2001, sportswriter Dave Sabo wrote:

Yes, Deion gets the money for nothing, but Schottenheimer has taken away the one thing Deion craves more than cash: the spotlight. Because the ‘Skins own his rights for the next seven years, if he wants to play football again, it’ll have to be for Marty and the ‘Skins.

Schottenheimer has taken away the one thing Deion craves more than cash: the spotlight. Because the Chargers now own his rights, if he wants to play football again, it’ll have to be for Marty and the Chargers.

Sorry about that, Prime Time.
