Tampa Bay Buccaneers - English
Deion Sanders has faced plenty of battles on the football field, but nothing quite like this. In what probably is one of the most challenging chapters of his personal life, Sanders set aside the headlines and game-day noise to confront a fight far more personal-his battle with cancer. For months, he kept the diagnosis private, choosing not to tell even his own children, while quietly documenting his hospital stay and moments of deep reflection.
Solitude didn’t break him-it built him
Even in isolation, Sanders never let his spirit fade. The NFL Hall of Famer found ways to keep his essence alive, offering himself the same tough-love motivation he’s famous for giving his players. Days alone in a hospital could have broken him-but instead, they became a space for gratitude, prayer, and mental toughness.
Facing a malignant tumor diagnosis and multiple medical procedures, Sanders refused to let the illness define him. He balanced the weight of his health fight with the chaos of the sports world, all while watching his two sons battle for roster spots on their respective teams. It was a storm from every direction-but Coach Prime weathered it with the same determination that made him a legend on the field.
Now cancer-free, Sanders has emerged with a renewed sense of purpose. His return to the Colorado Buffaloes isn’t just about football-it’s a testament to perseverance. His hospital footage shows a man who stayed grounded in faith, even when the odds stacked against him, and whose grit came with a side of wisdom that fans, critics, and players alike can’t ignore.
From the hospital to the sideline
Sanders understands that illness doesn’t care about status, fame, or accolades. He accepted the fight in front of him and met it with the same mindset he instills in his athletes: discipline, heart, and an unshakable belief in winning. That mentality didn’t just carry him through-it helped him beat cancer.
Coach Prime still is the same man who commands a locker room, but now, his voice carries the weight of someone who’s looked life and death in the eye and come out stronger. For Sanders, the journey doesn’t seem to be just about survival-but about inspiring others to find their own fight, no matter the odds.

Je to oficiální. Zafeiris patří PAOK, Slavia za něj dostala 295 milionů korun
O Zafeirisově přestupu informoval už minulý týden na sociální síti X předseda představenstva českého šampiona Jaroslav Tvrdík. Slavia v úterý uvedla, že za řeckého reprezentanta dostane 12 milionů eur (295 milionů korun). Podle řeckého klubu Zafeiris podepsal v novém působišti smlouvu do konce roku 2029.„Čeká nás náročné období v kombinaci domácí soutěže a Ligy mistrů. Do zimy takto kvalitního hráče potřebujeme. Nyní jsme ho nebyli schopni adekvátně nahradit a jsem tedy rád, že tu ještě půl roku zůstane. Navíc je to pro klub přestup, na kterém vydělá o 10 milionů eur víc, než za co hráč přišel,“ uvedl sportovní ředitel Jiří Bílek.Zafeiris přišel do Edenu na začátku roku 2023 z norského Haugesundu. Za Slavii odehrál 105 soutěžních utkání s bilancí 13 gólů a 12 asistencí.

Dowman being considered for England U19 fast-track
The FA's youth team coaches are considering promoting Max Dowman to England's U19 squad after his impressive Premier League debut for Arsenal against Leeds.The 15-year-old has been capped 16 times at U17 level, scoring five international goals, and was a key member of England's U17 squad in the summer, starting each of their three European Championship games.

His development will be carefully managed - by club and country.His team-mate Ethan Nwaneri - the only Arsenal player to make his Premier League debut at a […]
NFL Betting 2025: Two players at each position with the easiest schedule
Expect C.J. Stroud to hunt for the end zone: The Texans face off with nine teams that finished below the league average in touchdown passes surrendered, including four squads that concluded in the bottom 10 in PFF coverage grade.

Potvrzeno. Cadillac oficiálně představil svou historicky první jezdeckou dvojici ve F1
Cadillac se stane jedenáctým týmem šampionátu. V prvních letech bude využívat pohonné jednotky Ferrari, od roku 2029 však plánuje vyvíjet vlastní. Šéf stáje Graeme Lowdon dlouhodobě zdůrazňuje snahu podpořit návrat amerických jezdců na startovní rošt. V současnosti mezi dvacítkou pilotů Američan chybí. Tím posledním byl Logan Sargeant, který loni působil ve Williamsu. Přesto se nakonec tým rozhodl vsadit na zkušenosti.Pětatřicetiletí Bottas a Pérez patří k ostříleným matadorům. Oba se v minulosti stali vicemistry světa a pomohli svým týmům k zisku Poháru konstruktérů. Cadillac od nich očekává nejen výsledky, ale i klíčovou roli při budování stabilního zázemí.„Podpis dvou tak zkušených jezdců jasně ukazuje naše ambice. Oba vědí, co je potřeba k úspěchu, a ještě důležitější je, že nám dokážou pomoci vybudovat nový tým. Jejich vedení, zpětná vazba i závodní instinkt budou pro Cadillac nedocenitelné,“ vysvětlil šéf stáje Graeme Lowdon.Pérez se vrací po roční pauze. Naposledy závodil za Red Bull, kde po boku Maxe […]
Top 10 NFL rookies from preseason Week 3
Safety Keyon Martin's pick-six propels him to No. 1: The Ravens undrafted free agent intercepted Sam Hartman and returned it 22 yards for a score, the highlight of his impressive effort overall.
