The 'Praise Jesus' discount (Deion pays what Jesus tells him to)
Former Cowboy sued over auto repair bill

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Associated Press


DALLAS -- Former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Deion Sanders is battling an automotive shop over what he says Jesus told him to pay for a repair bill.


The owner of the repair shop says Sanders wanted to pay only $1,500 of the $4,265.57 bill, saying that Jesus had informed him that was all he needed to pay.


"It's the 'Praise Jesus' discount,'' attorney Ed Edson told The Dallas Morning News in Monday's editions.


Edson said he has been trying to collect the bill from Sanders since 2001 on behalf of Phil Compton, the owner of the car repair business.


Through court filings, the player says the accusations are untrue. Sanders' attorney, Edmund Gomez, did not return a telephone call early Monday from The Associated Press.


The lawsuit was scheduled to go to trial later Monday before state District Judge Joe Cox in Dallas County civil court.

2. Yes, and former Falcon, 49er, Redskin, Yankee, Brave, Seminole
The sports media goes after the Cowboys like the news media went after Clinton. ESPN, no less. Those fuckers are known Dallas haters and 9er lovers (Chris Berman, for instance).

6. Rant not directed at you, and yes, ESPN perpetuates the hate
of the Cowboys. And to top it off, Rush Limbaugh now joins the gang. ESPN can go to hell.

5. Someone ought to look up Luke 6:30
You could pretty much clean out a church with that verse.

7. Deion would shit if the judge used the following scripture...
Matthew 18:30
And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
