‘I Can’t Pee Like I Used To Pee’ … Deion Sanders Issues Health Update

By Cody McClure

Coach Prime is cancer free.

Deion Sanders delivered the terrific news this afternoon — or morning, I suppose, in Colorado — to the press.

It was a press conference scheduled with short notice, prompting some in the media to question whether Sanders was contemplating stepping down.

Whoever runs this account, in particular, is getting destroyed online.

But luckily for the Colorado fan base and many fans of college football, Sanders had good news.

After being diagnosed with a bladder tumor, Sanders is now cancer-free. He had to have the tumor removed.

“You have no idea how good God has been to me,” he said. "…It wasn't easy. Men, everybody get checked out because if it wasn't for me getting tested for something else, they wouldn't have stumbled up on this. And make sure you go to the get the right care because without wonderful people like this, I probably wouldn't be sitting here today because it grew so expeditiously.”

Sanders offered a couple of humorous quips despite the serious nature of the issue he has been dealing with.

"I can’t pee like I used to pee," he said. He also joked about wearing Depends and having a port-a-potty on the sideline.

Good for Coach Prime. It will be nice to see him back on the sidelines this fall. He’s good for the sport.
