Deion Sanders' playful banter with Momma Connie in Colorado
Deion Sanders always finds a way to make his mother, Connie, laugh. He posted a lighthearted moment with his mother on Instagram:
“Enjoying Life With @mommaconnie21 In Colorado. She Keeps It 💯 at all times! #CoachPrime.”
In the video, Sanders playfully tried convincing his mother to move in with him in Dallas. But Momma Connie wasn’t having it. She shut him down immediately.
“You ready to go to Texas? You ready to go to Dallas?” he asked.
Her response? A firm no.
Not giving up, Sanders pointed out the beautiful mountains, wondering why she kept everything closed up.
“Can you at least get the view of the beautiful mountains and all that, why you have all everything closed up?” he asked.
But Connie, unimpressed, replied:
“Here you come with that opening up everything. I was glad when you were gone.”
Whether it’s cracking jokes or shutting down his ideas, Momma Connie keeps it real, and Deion Sanders wouldn’t have it any other way.
