Six months from the season and Deion Sanders’ mouth is already writing checks his team can’t cash

The NFL’s sole desire to get Taylor Swift in the Super Bowl? Money
So let me get this straight: The NFL is in bed with the left, Taylor Swift, President Joe Biden and Travis Kelce all in order to what?
