...some ways Sanders, a.k.a. Neon Deion (which he hates) and Prime Time (which he embraces), seems from yet another time. He has Satchel Paige's wit and flair for self-promotion, Cab Calloway's sense of outrageous style and Jim Thorpe's mind-boggling athletic ability. In the 49ers' 38-28 victory over their nemesis, the Cowboys, on Jan. 15, Sanders stifled the Dallas receivers, intercepted a crucial pass near the San Francisco goal line, and bugged his coach, George Seifert, so much that he was allowed to return a kickoff for the first time all season. He also demonstrated...
...against both Tiny Tim McCarver and another of his sworn enemies, Spike Lee. But there's also a nice tribute to his father and a song that asks you to "respect your woman."

They range from festive yuletide riffs to a Cab Calloway parody sung by the aptly named Oogie Boogie...
...anyone ever call him John? When Dizzy Gillespie died last week at age 75, after a bout with pancreatic cancer, he was known the world over by his nickname. He was busted out of the Cab Calloway band in 1941 for excessive clowning, so legend has it; Calloway, no sobersides himself, could not have foreseen the full implications of the Gillespie handle. In any case, Dizzy required elbow room; he was preparing to break a mess of musical rules. Jazz, always loose, was about to be set free...
