What: “Power, Money, & Sex.”

Author: Deion Sanders, with Jim Nelson Black.

Publisher: Word Publishing.

Poor Deion. He still doesn’t get it.

For 194 pages he explains why he now walks with the Lord Deion kept his arrogance, however.

He clearly believes it’s important Americans know how he filled his life’s emptiness. So he wrote a book about it--and broke the world record for personal pronouns.

Turning at random to page 89, there were 40 references to “I,” “me,” “my” and “I’m.”

Poor Deion. Nothing filled his emptiness.

He writes: “. . . I bought myself a brand new $275,000 Lamborghini and I hadn’t even driven a mile before I realized, No, that’s not it. That’s not what I’m looking for. It’s got to be something else. I’m so hungry!”

Religion sated his hunger, he writes (on every page). No word on whether or not the Lord now drives the Lamborghini, but he says he almost reached the promised land in a Mercedes.

Here’s how he describes a night when he says he attempted suicide by driving his car off a Cincinnati cliff (he botched it--the angle wasn’t right, he says): “. . . that’s when I took the plunge--literally--over that cliff in Cincinnati in my beautiful black Mercedes.”

Not much about football, baseball or sex here.
