This sounds like something the clown show mayor Lumumba needs to hear

Prime is correct!!! Todays generation is too sensitive and needs to hear the truth. Accountability is real.

18 years with no father figure (for many of them) and suddenly they are going to respond to guidance and discipline? Up to this point in their lives it's been all about Hoochie, bling, adoration from Friday nights and coasting...Now, time to get serious.

This is not the way boys are raised to become men. Good luck Coach.

There is a terrific benefit in having a man at the helm who is not driven by job security and money concerns. He can be brutally honest with everybody including his spoiled athletes. So many of these young people have been spoon-fed the bullshit version of life by teachers, coaches, and politicians who are afraid for their jobs and money. Someday Deion will accept a huge money contract but I hope he will remember that freedom of speech is a gift to help others not sold to the highest bidder. Thanks Deion.

"You're about to be a walk-off!" Jackson could use a similar work ethic - if only he would run for Mayor... For those who didn't see the 60 Minutes interview last night.

Y’all need to stop worshiping this ignorant sportsball players. They are contributing absolutely nothing to this nation or the planet!

Coach Prime reminds me of my high school coach... tell you the truth -- kick butt in practice and made the grade in class. It works because my high school made both state championships in sports and academics... Coach Prime is going to get a bigger job someday because he is going to change the culture of JSU and Jackson...

Note to Deion Sanders: A coach should not wear gold chain bling while giving a sermon about how scholastic opportunity plus discipline equals a career.

All the athletes focus on is the jewelry bought with football. It's like a stripper, in character, trying to teach modesty to teenage boys.

Some of his players will listen and follow and become successful adults that contribute to society, playing NFL football and otherwise. The others won’t listen and will be miserable deadbeat failures. Everyone has to make that choice in life. You get out of life what you work for.

Why do you guys think this carpetbagger cares about his players ? He only cares about 2 his sons, when their eligibility is up he’s out the door!

It’s literally a band of man children playing games and y’all expect them to ever become adults? Maybe when they are in their 40s and injured and can’t play and have time to reflect on the years that they wasted instead of learning any other marketable skill besides chasing a ball around a field like a dog!

I agree that his (in-your-face) opulent bling really sorta diminishes his words.

12:02 there is a bigger picture. I’ll go with the glass half full. Go Coach Prime.

This coach's message is sound. Period. Oh, and, his bling bothers me not one whit and I am in my 60's.

At one time I was skeptical about his motives and thought he would simply use JSU as a play-toy for a few laughs. But I spoke to some people who personally saw his damn serious medical condition last year. He could have easily lost a leg! Throughout that situation he stayed committed to his work and the young men who followed him to Jackson. He coached from a bed and a wheel chair and he has never stopped working. A lot of other people are being paid a hell of a lot more for a hell of a lot less! Good luck JSU.

The more I learn about Coach, the more impressed I am. I do t know how long he will be at JSU but he is attempting to set a standard that if followed will insure success for the future.

It's a nice story, and I don't question Coach's sincerity or that some good may be achieved in the process. But this is primarily just the football elites (which really just means the elites) opening up another market and using their controlled resources (news and sports media, NFL agents, corporate sponsors, NIL) to accomplish it.

If you do not recognize just how good and solid this speech was, your understanding is extremely faulty, and trying to explain it to you would be nothing but a waste of my time and KF's bandwidth.

12:02 and 1:12PM it is all relative.

To you, you say his gold chain is opulent.

To me, I say that polo shirt you wear on Saturdays "showing" off the public state school college you went to 30 years ago is middle class cringe.

"No phones allowed in our meetings!!" - Except the one that is filming my daily inspirational speeches that I send out thru social media.

11:23 I suppose you have a good point, all these stupid football players like Ronald Reagan and the rest never contributed anything to the planet! Go tell Kiffen to just give up they're worthless.

4:14 Makes no sense.

Is there another Head Coach in the country who wears gold chains and is referred to by a nickname signifying his antics of 30 years ago? Asking for the jewelry salesman at the mall, upper level kiosk.

This ain't got shit to do with bandwidth.

11:23 is one of the dweebs that could never make the team growing up!

This is Mississippi. Football = LIFE! And life here is great…unless you were a dweeb that didn’t make the team and has remained jealous of all who did, which includes the young men that leaders like Coach Prime, AND Coach Kiffin, are LEADING! Just let it go, and become a fan. That’s the least you can do, to show respect for the game, the coaches, and the players. And crank up 105.9 to the maximum volume every morning, and see how your life transforms to positivity!

One last thing… Hotty Toddy, LFG!!!!!!!

4:49 You do realize that this man's image "Neon Deion" is what makes his tremendous accomplishments so exciting to young men who were not even born when he dominated the sports world. The "bling" is simply part of an image which he has used to maximum effect to make himself rich and relevant even after his playing days were over. If he were just some middle aged has-been trying to impress the hot-chicks I would agree with you, but the guy makes his image work for him in the job he is doing. That's pretty damn smart even if it does not appeal to you.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
