Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders is no stranger to controversy, but even by his standards, a recent podcast appearance has ignited fresh debate both for his outspoken faith and for a personal claim that left many fans stunned.
Sanders appeared on a podcast where he reiterated his unwavering devotion to Christianity and his refusal to compromise on his beliefs.
Deion Sanders surprises students in classroom triggering a powerful moment of reflection
“My relationship [with God] is tremendous,” Sanders told We Got Time Today. “It’s not going to cease. It’s not going to stop. I’m not going to be ashamed of the gospel. That’s what my Bible tells me, and I’m going to proclaim my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ wherever I want to. Ain’t nobody going to tell me not to.”
But it was his next statement that drew the most attention. When asked about personal habits, Sanders revealed a surprising part of his lifestyle.
“No, I don’t do that,” he said. “I don’t pleasure myself. I’ve never in my life pleasured myself. Never in my life. God, God is my witness. In Jesus’ name. I’m telling you. God’s honest truth.
“My next statement going to sound arrogant. I never had to.”
Maintaining strong personal discipline
The comment sent social media into a frenzy, with reactions ranging from disbelief to admiration. Some praised Sanders for maintaining such strong personal discipline, especially in an era where few public figures discuss such topics openly. Others were more skeptical, questioning the plausibility or relevance of the claim.
Regardless of public reaction, the former NFL and MLB star turned college football coach has never shied away from letting his faith guide his words or actions. Throughout his time leading the Colorado program Sanders has consistently emphasized spirituality, discipline, and leadership grounded in purpose.
His coaching style has attracted national attention and reshaped expectations in Boulder, but his willingness to dive into deeply personalterritory continues to set him apart from peers in both sports and culture.

Paul Skenes notches 9 strikeouts, leading Pirates to 3-0 win over Dodgers
Friday night's matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates featured an enticing clash between National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes and the reigning World Series champions.Would the Pirates' pitching sensation be humbled by one of the most formidable lineups in Major League Baseball? Or would one of the NL's top pitchers handcuff a Dodgers offense that hasn't yet performed to expectations?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis time around, Skenes prevailed with 6 1/3 scoreless innings in Pittsburgh's 3-0 victory. The right-hander notched nine strikeouts with no walks and five hits allowed.“I think that he’s one of the best in the game,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game. “Tonight, we really couldn’t muster much.”However, Roberts also felt that Dodgers hitters helped Skenes out by continuing a trend of chasing pitches out of their hitting zone."I think that it's hard to […]
Chelsea si poradila s Evertonem a dál drží naději na Ligu mistrů
Anglický reprezentant v brance Evertonu Pickford udržel ve své kariéře proti Chelsea sedmkrát čisté konto, tentokrát ale kapituloval po střele, kterou za hranicí šestnáctky vyslal Jackson. Pro senegalského útočníka to byl desátý ligový gól v sezoně a první od poloviny prosince. Pět minut před koncem se trefil podruhé, ale z ofsajdu. Nejlepší střelec londýnského klubu Palmer, který před rokem dal stejnému soupeři čtyři branky, se tentokrát ke střele vůbec nedostal.Trenér domácích Maresca sledoval zápas kvůli žlutým kartám jen z tribuny a s generálkou na čtvrteční semifinále Konferenční ligy ve Stockholmu mohl být spokojen. Jeho svěřenci si dál udržují šanci, že se po dvouleté přestávce vrátí do Ligy mistrů, kterou bude hrát pět zástupců kolébky fotbalu.Anglická fotbalová liga - 34. kolo:Chelsea - Everton 1:0 (27. Jackson)
