Deion Sanders' over-the-top former Texas mansion is now abandoned — and on the market for $5.5M
This property is ready for a comeback play.
The Texas estate custom-built by NFL Hall of Famer Deion 'Prime Time' Sanders is back on the market — this time listed for $5.5 million, and in need of a serious revival.
Constructed in 1999 at the height of Sanders' playing career, the nearly 30,000-square-foot mansion was designed to match his larger-than-life persona.

Set on what was once a 112-acre spread in the town of Prosper, roughly an hour north of Dallas, the home reflected Sanders' flair with towering ceilings, gleaming marble floors, and amenities that include a home theater, an indoor training field, a bowling alley and a basketball court.
The residence also features nine bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and sweeping floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the 6 remaining acres of the original estate.

Though Sanders sold the property in 2014 — before the bulk of the land was parceled off and redeveloped into a subdivision called 'The Montclair' — his mansion remained untouched.
It has sat vacant for over a decade.
The home last changed hands in 2021 when a Frisco-based LLC purchased it at auction, reportedly intending to restore it for the owner's wife. Those plans never came to fruition.

It hasn't been lived in since Deion owned it, Heather Stevens of The Agency Frisco, who is handling the new listing, told Mansion Global.
The property was once listed for $12.8 million in 2016, but after multiple price cuts — including a drop to $7.5 million in 2019 — it ultimately sold at a significant discount.

Now appraised at around $7 million, the current asking price offers what Stevens described as '$1.5 million in built-in equity.'
The re-listing comes as Sanders, now head football coach at the University of Colorado, is back in the spotlight amid coverage of his son Shedeur Sanders's unexpected tumble to the fifth round in this year's NFL Draft.

Review: Powerful play ‘Memorabilia' explores the hope and limits of memory through the eyes of a clown
Jean Claudio, a formidable Chicago-based talent who lives on Instagram as @el_clown, can dance, juggle, tumble, perform handstands and unleash a variety of -style clowning, a function of having a remarkably pliant and supple body and having trained in circus and physical theater in Buenos Aries and at the Actors Gymnasium in Evanston. Claudio is not an actor who moves. He's a legitimate circus professional with an uncommon facility for generating empathy. And in 'Memorabilia,' a very enjoyable solo show now at the Filament Theatre in Portage Park, Claudio sets about extending his skills and engaging persona into a bigger narrative, one that explores the limits of memory and the possibility of its reawakening. The show is produced by Teatro Vista, and if I add that the Alzheimer's Association is one of the show's sponsors, you probably have a sense of the world that Claudio is inhabiting here. But it's far from conventional or based on just one of life's travails. Claudio is, after all, a clown. And the 80-minute show, which is perfectly fine for family audiences, is a mostly joyful experience as an inventor named Salvador interacts physically and comedically with a whole bunch of stuff from his prior life (a plate, a piece of fabric, a coffee pot, a song, a body, a love), the significance of which he often struggles to remember (or is it to face?). But on designer Lauren Nichols' set, Salvador has a Rube Goldberg contraption to aid him in his quest to recall what matters most. It's a sculpture made up of old televisions and monitors, drawers filled with objects, maybe a toaster oven to gobble up life's cues. In its best moments, which are fantastic, Claudio dives deep into the unsettling nature of memory loss and denial but also into our incredible ability to recall and survive things from long ago. It's an affirmative piece that really challenges the notion that 'I can't remember' has to be a permanent state. If your family (as was mine) was or is touched by Alzheimer's, you'll know that one of the main challenges faced by those with the condition is to sort out what is significant (a loved one, say), and what can and should be discarded to the sands of time. After all, the ability to forget is the only way we can manage to stay content; if we recalled every past slight and example of unfair treatment, we'd spend our days in a stew of resentment. It's to his great credit that Claudio's show brings all of this up. Like a lot of clowns trained in South and Central America, Claudio has developed an expertise in what is known as crowd work, the name given to audience interaction. This, too, here, is about prompting memory, mostly through a very extensive accompanying sound design from Satya Chávez that really becomes a second character in the show. I think 'Memorabilia' still needs some work: its potentially potent emotional trajectory, its arc of feeling, sometimes get pushed aside as Claudio gets too involved with all of his stuff on stage and the thread gets lost. Ironically, given the subject, the show has some ways yet to go when it comes to signaling what is and is not the most important and, although the conclusion is inspiring, it would be yet more powerful if it were allowed more room to breathe. It's mostly a question of finding the right focus and pairing down what does not get used, and I thought those issues most acute in the less cohesive second part of the evening. If Claudio could focus as much on the audience's journey of feeling as he does on trying to make us laugh, he'd really have something here. That said, 'Memorabilia' is still a very rewarding and unusual show and a piece of new work with formidable potential. As I watched, I kept thinking about how great it would be for a child with grandparents struggling with memory to see this piece with someone who could explain what it was trying to say, but then the same would apply for an adult with a forgetful parent or, indeed, to persons themselves working mightily to remember, in all the complexity of that word. Memory is a wonderful theme for el_clown to explore because he is so vulnerable and empathetic. All he has to do now is ask himself what in his show matters the most. Review: 'Memorabilia' (3 stars) When: Through June 29 Where: Teatro Vista at Filament Theatre, 4041 N. Milwaukee Ave. Running time: 1 hour, 20 minutes Tickets: $20-$55 at

Winners and losers of Aaron Rodgers' deal with Steelers? So many questions
Winners and losers of Aaron Rodgers' deal with Steelers? So many questions Show Caption Hide Caption Mike Greenberg says Aaron Rodgers still has ability to succeed in the NFL ESPN commentator Mike Greenberg chats with Mackenzie Salmon about what's left in the tank for Aaron Rodgers as he searches for a new team. Sports Seriously After what will be 86 days – though it felt much longer – Aaron Rodgers' first experience as an NFL free agent will apparently end, black and gold smoke finally emanating from Pittsburgh as reports surfaced Thursday that he will sign with the Steelers Friday and become their quarterback of the (very immediate) future. Even at 41, Rodgers could bring a level of stability behind center the Steelers haven't enjoyed since well before Ben Roethlisberger's retirement in 2022 – which occurred five years after Pittsburgh's most recent postseason victory. Yet, depending on the circumstances unfold, Rodgers might be anything but a calming presence. Either way, the 2025 season should be a compelling one in the Steel City, which could experience a whole host of winners and losers – we think, hence the question marks? – with its latest quarterback coming to town: WINNERS Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin? They'd had something of a long-distance bro-mance years before they officially team up … and before Tomlin, always one to turn a phrase, exclaimed 'there's no substitute for intimacy' following Rodgers' visit to the Steelers' facility in March. It remains to be seen how their transition from mutual admirers to direct collaborators goes, but what has either got to lose? Neither has appeared in a Super Bowl since the 2010 season, when Rodgers' Green Bay Packers barely got the better of Tomlin's Steelers – and they could certainly be mutually supporting the other's protracted quest to secure a second ring (if we don't count the one Tomlin won as an assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002). But Rodgers was about as good a veteran option as Tomlin could have hoped for following the Russell Wilson Experience in 2024, while the Steelers were probably Rodgers' best hope all along – given the Vikings never swiped right – to allow him to conclude his career in a manner he deems fitting after getting unceremoniously dumped by the New York Jets. Minnesota Vikings? It had to be tempting. Right? Minnesota's brass continues to – understandably – say glowing things about 2024 first-round QB J.J. McCarthy, whose rookie season ended before it began due to a preseason meniscus injury. But there's no denying that McCarthy is an unknown professional commodity, and that a team coming off a 14-3 season – thanks in large part to departed Pro Bowl QB Sam Darnold – and with a loaded roster at just about every other position is taking a risk. But rather than replicating Brett Favre's Packers-Jets-Vikings career-ending path – and how amped up would the already spicy Green Bay rivalry have been by injecting Rodgers back into it? – HC Kevin O'Connell and GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah are doing right by McCarthy, putting him on the field with the loaded supporting cast any young passer should have before being asked to shoulder too heavy a burden. Right? Because McCarthy couldn't possibly be the second coming of Christian Ponder. Right? Will Howard? After mismanaging the quarterback position for at least a half-dozen years – including the spiraling portion of Big Ben's career – Pittsburgh at least had one (side?) eye on the future in April, drafting the Ohio State quarterback in the sixth round. And given Howard is likely shooting for the QB3 job here behind Rodgers and Mason Rudolph, he could soak up some wisdom given Rodgers' willingness to mentor Jordan Love in Green Bay and Zach Wilson with the Jets. Calvin Austin III and Pat Freiermuth? Could the Steelers' slot receiver and tight end, respectively, wind up getting the predominant target share from Rodgers, who tended to thrower shorter passes and typically between the hashes last season – often getting rid of the ball in a hurry rather than inviting more abuse onto his aging frame? Don't be surprised if it's the case – and it might be a coup for Austin as he enters a contract year. LOSERS DK Metcalf? Will a wideout who typically does most of his damage as an outside deep threat defeating man-to-man coverage grow frustrated playing with Rodgers, especially given their combustible on-field personas and his growing propensity to stay inside the numbers? (And especially given Rodgers' own combustible on-field persona and propensity to telegraph shade at teammates who don't run routes to his specifications?) Don't be surprised, despite Rodgers' private workouts with Metcalf. Arthur Smith The playbook of Pittsburgh's offensive coordinator has generally worked best when he has an athletic quarterback who operates a run-heavy attack that's also reliant on play action and a healthy mix of deep shots to physical receivers. But instead of re-signing Justin Fields, the Steelers wound up with Rodgers, who tends to have his own way of doing things, so ... RFK Jr. After considering Rodgers as a running mate for his failed 2024 presidential bid, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – now the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services – will have to continue waiting to sign the quarterback who was infamously "immunized" against COVID-19 but wasn't vaccinated. Yeah, they seem like a good fit as Kennedy amplifies his anti-vax agenda. But Rodgers will have to wait to become the food dye czar. Mason Rudolph After returning from his one-year exile in Nashville, he was getting so close to QB1 with the Steelers, for whom he's 8-4-1 as a spot starter over the course of his six seasons with the franchise. Heck, RFK Jr.'s boss, Donald Trump, recently opined at a Western Pennsylvania rally that Rudolph, who attended the festivities, would be the guy for the Steelers. And who knows as he's still just one torn Achilles away. Pittsburgh fans They've long been told by Tomlin that "The standard is the standard" – but have known for five decades that that means Lombardi Trophies. Yet the organization's Stairway to Seven has now been under construction for 16 years – since Tomlin, Roethlisberger and Co. prevailed over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl 43. But can Rodgers really add any meaningful steps at this stage? The last time Steelers fans saw him in person – this past October in Acrisure Stadium – he was picked off twice in a 37-15 loss, which almost certainly won't make him an easy sell as a savior. Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin? Can you imagine their press conferences if this thing goes sideways? Tomlin has famously never had a losing season in his 18 years at the helm in Western Pennsylvania, yet he has a six-game losing streak in the playoffs going back to the 2016 campaign. As for Rodgers? He's lost 22 of his past 36 regular-season starts, which doesn't include three defeats in his past four postseason appearances. Given how much will be expected of this shotgun marriage, there's certainly quite a risk that this duo's codependency devolves into an unfortunate union that might even send both up the Three Rivers.

Russell Wilson focused on being a leader for the Giants even with all eyes on rookie Jaxson Dart
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Russell Wilson knows he's not the future. Not at this point in his career. The New York Giants hope that'll be Jaxson Dart. For now, though, Wilson is the No. 1 quarterback on the depth chart — and he fully expects to remain there when the season starts. Still, all eyes during offseason practices are on Dart, the big-armed first-round draft pick from Mississippi. 'It doesn't change anything at all,' Wilson said of his approach after the Giants' sixth practice of organized team activities Thursday. 'I think the biggest thing is for me is just being my best every day, leading. I always think about just leading everybody, just leading every room, every moment, every time I get to step between the white lines and the opportunity of that.' New York signed the 36-year-old Wilson, who's entering his 14th season, in March to a one-year deal worth up to $21 million with $10.5 million guaranteed. The move gave the Giants a stopgap option at quarterback, teaming with Jameis Winston and holdover Tommy DeVito. But a month later, New York traded back into the first round of the draft and took Dart — giving the Giants a potential signal caller for the future. 'Jaxson's been great, man,' Wilson said while speaking to reporters for the first time since the draft. 'He's a great worker, great teammate. We're having fun, all of us. We have a really good quarterback room. Guys are so focused and working diligently every day. He's going to be an extremely, extremely good talent and everything else throughout his career.' For now, though, Dart is the student and Wilson very much the teacher. And the leader of the offense. 'I always share and I always think about communication,' Wilson said. 'I'm a big believer in communicating out loud, just, 'Here's what I'm thinking, here's what I'm saying.' You don't hold any information. I think that for us, it's always about us being the best that we can all be. 'And I think for me, when you have tremendous confidence in yourself, you have no problem sharing it with others. I think that's just how I've always believed.' Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection, helped Pittsburgh make the playoffs last season and threw for 2,482 yards with 16 touchdown passes and five interceptions and a 96.5 passer rating. But the Steelers lost five in a row at the end of the season, including in the wild-card playoffs against Baltimore. The Steelers allowed Wilson to become a free agent and he joined the Giants with a chance to help turn around a franchise that went through a 3-14 season with a revolving door at quarterback. 'It's been nice,' wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson said. 'A guy that's been in this league a long time. He tells you exactly what he wants out there, running routes, and the spots he needs you to be in. So, it's been really, really nice.' Wilson might not be the dynamic playmaker he was while helping the Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory in 2014, but there's enough there to make the Giants optimistic about what he can do for them. 'I see a lot of things in Russ and things that I watched from afar for a long time — his time in Seattle, Denver, Pittsburgh, just the leadership, the command,' offensive coordinator Mike Kafka said. 'You see that on the field. I think the players are responding to it.' Wilson has also been trying to build chemistry with his new teammates, including throwing with several of them in the Atlanta area. Earlier this week, he gathered several of his offensive linemen, running backs and the other quarterbacks for a group dinner. 'We just had a good time, just tons of laughs and a good time together,' Wilson said. 'I think the fellowship of it all is the best part right now. Obviously, our work ethic and what we're doing in the field. But when it comes to just the tight-knit culture that we're continuing to build and continue to grow, and we want to have a championship football team, and in terms of our mentality and our approach and how we go about it. 'And it's not just the games, but it's everything that leads up to that. And that's the fun part about the game of football.' ___ AP NFL:
