VIDEO: Deion Sanders Was A Hall Of Fame Salesman, As Well

Old commercials are always funny, especially old commercials involving Deion Sanders. On Saturday evening, Sanders will enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, a deserved honor for the man who may be the best cornerback of all-time. But Sanders was a versatile player and person, as evidenced by his amazing ability to pitch just about anything with a hard sell.

For example, did you know Sanders had his own hot dog cooker? It’s true! Excuse the poor quality of this Youtube video, which looks like it was recorded at the beginning of the Internet.

In better quality sales pitches, though I'm not sure what Sanders is selling here other than himself, here's a commercial featuring all your favorite Dallas Cowboys' personalities. The dramatic looks into the camera by Jerry Jones and Barry Switzer make this commercial outstanding, as well as the poorly edited cutaways of Sanders picking off a pass.

On a day that we celebrate Sanders’ accomplishments on the field, lets not forget to applaud his work off it. If you’ll excuse me, I need to track down that hot dog cooker immediately.
