Deion Sanders jokes about Googling health issues: 'You gon' die dawg'

Deion Sanders revealed he was cured of bladder cancer Monday and the Colorado coach can make a little light of the situation at this point. He even joked about a Google search when he looked up his symptoms and what could happen.

Basically, Sanders won’t exactly Google a health issue again, especially one of this magnitude. Coach Prime was very thankful to his doctors and supporters and pleaded for others to get checkups. Heck, he even made a will because he thought this could be it.

Safe to say, the Google search could’ve accelerated those fears. Although, Sanders did joke about it a bit, just to remove any tension during his press conference.

“Well, the initial thing you do is what we all do. We Google, and that’s the wrong thing to do, because they tell you, ‘you gon’ die dawg,’” Sanders said, talking next to Dr. Janet Kukreja. “I mean, like they pretty much say that when you Google it and you don’t want to see that mess, whoever doing Google, you may want to change it up, because that ain’t the thing to look at when you’re going through what I went through. Like, ‘you got about 30 days, man,’ like, that’s the way it seems like it’s talking to you, and you don’t want that. 

“And, you know you gotta, that’s why you gotta rely on your faith. You gotta rely on your faith and these wonderful people that’s telling you the truth. Like dog, shoot it straight. You know, when they start turning their head to the side, it’s getting ready to come. You know, it’s real. But she never falsified anything. She told me what was 100 and never said, ‘Well, you should do this. You should do that.’ She just explained everything to me so that I can make the decision that I felt like I needed to make for me and my family.”

Sanders acknowledged that “God is good” over and over and was truly thankful for all those around him. After this harrowing ordeal, he’s certainly ready to fully get back to football.

Sanders is getting ready for his third season at Colorado after leading the Buffs’ impressive turnaround in 2024. The program went 8-5 one year after a 4-8 record, making it to the Alamo Bowl. However, star players Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter are off to the NFL, meaning CU will have a new-look roster in 2025.

Coach Prime pointed out the impact of losing its quarterback and Heisman Trophy-winning two-way threat. That said, he thinks the rest of the group has a chance to be even better this season.

“They were great players. We have a better team,” Sanders said during an appearance on ESPN at Big 12 Media Days. “There’s a difference between great players and a great team. We have a better team, but we can never replace those type of players.”
