'Not a care in the world': Deion Sanders sparks buzz after refusing to explain summer health mystery in Frisco
On July 9, 2025, at Big 12 Media Day in Frisco, Texas, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders stepped in front of a room full of reporters. Dressed sharp and smiling, he seemed ready to talk football.
But when the topic of his health came up after weeks of absence from the public eye, he stayed silent. His choice not to answer left many wondering. Why the silence? What really happened this summer? The questions grew louder, but Coach Prime kept the focus on his team. Here's what we know so far.
Why Deion Sanders declined health questions and focuses on team
At roughly 4:38 PM, Deion Sanders took the podium at The Star, the NFL Dallas Cowboys' building near Frisco, Texas during Big 12 football media days.
Reporters pressed him about his health after he missed spring and summer camps, and his planned June keynote in Florida was also canceled.
He was firm
: 'I'm not here to talk about my health, I'm here to talk about my team,'
he said. Then he shared this:
'I'm looking good. I'm living lovely. God has truly blessed me. Not a care in the world. Not a want or desire in the world'.
Though he gave no details, Deion Sanders said he's feeling well and is back to work.

Shocking! Prolonged sitting can shrink the brain, and even regular exercise won't compensate for it
Research indicates that prolonged sedentary behavior, even with regular exercise, elevates the risk of brain shrinkage and cognitive decline, particularly in older adults. The study, tracking participants over seven years, revealed a link between increased sitting time and neurodegenerative changes, irrespective of physical activity levels. S itting is the new smoking. Prolonged sitting isn't just bad for your heart; it could also shrink your brain. This effect cannot be compensated for, even if you work out regularly. Yes, that's right. A recent study found that sedentary behavior is linked with neurodegeneration and cognitive decline despite engaging in physical activity. A study led by researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the University of Pittsburgh found that increased sedentary behavior (time spent sitting or lying down) significantly increases the risk of brain shrinkage, related to risk for developing Alzheimer's disease, especially among older adults. The findings are published in Alzheimer's & Dementia : The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association. Link between brain shrinkage and prolonged sitting It is known that prolonged sitting increases the risk of chronic diseases, musculoskeletal problems, and even premature death. But this new study has found that it could also lead to cognitive decline. The researchers found that despite regular physical activity, older adults who spend more time sedentary show greater signs of cognitive decline and brain atrophy over time. The study also suggests that sedentary behaviour may be an independent risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, a condition that already affects millions of people across the globe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Wildlife Cameras Capture What No One Should See Ohi Blog Undo The study T he researchers looked at 404 adults aged 50 and older for over a seven-year period to undestand the effects of sedentary behavior on cognitive health. The participants were asked to wear activity-monitoring devices for one week to track how much time they spent sitting or lying down. Their sedentary time was then related to their cognitive performance and brain scans captured over a seven-year follow-up period. The researchers found that people who spent more time sedentary were more likely to experience cognitive decline and neurodegenerative changes, regardless of how much they exercised. This was prominent in participants who carried the APOE-e4 allele, a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease . This stresses that reducing sedentary time may be especially important for older adults who are at increased genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease. 'Reducing your risk for Alzheimer's disease is not just about working out once a day. Minimizing the time spent sitting, even if you do exercise daily, reduces the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease,' lead author Marissa Gogniat, PhD, assistant professor of Neurology at Pitt and former postdoctoral fellow at the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer's Center, said in a statement. Sitting for prolonged hours at work: Beware of these side affects! "It is critical to study lifestyle choices and the impact they have on brain health as we age. Our study showed that reducing sitting time could be a promising strategy for preventing neurodegeneration and subsequent cognitive decline. This research highlights the importance of reducing sitting time, particularly among aging adults at increased genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease. It is critical to our brain health to take breaks from sitting throughout the day and move around to increase our active time,' co-author Angela Jefferson, PhD, professor of Neurology and founding director of the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer's Center at VUMC, added.

NFL trade buzz: Dolphins could ship $90M star Tyreek Hill to Chargers in shocking deal
Tyreek Hill trade buzz grows as Chargers emerge as surprise destination (Image via: Getty Images) The Miami Dolphins are becoming one of the NFL's most talked-about teams this offseason, and for good reason. With salary cap pressures mounting and roster decisions looming, one shocking name continues to pop up in trade talks—star wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Why trading Tyreek Hill isn't as crazy as it sounds Tyreek Hill remains one of the NFL's most electric playmakers, recently ranked the No. 3 wide receiver by league executives and scouts. But despite his elite status, the Dolphins may consider moving on from him, not because of performance, but because of finances. According to Pro Football Network's Jacob Infante, Miami could save over $20 million more by trading Hill rather than releasing him outright. That kind of cap relief is tough to ignore, especially for a team looking to solidify other parts of its roster. There's no denying Hill's value on the field. Even AFC scouts acknowledge that while defenses have adjusted to Miami's offense, Hill's unique blend of power and speed still makes him a game-breaker. 'Even if he's lost a half-step, he's still more explosive than everyone,' one scout told ESPN. NFL Training Camp Overreactions: Will Bengals trade Trey Hendrickson? Tyreek Hill done in Miami? Still, Hill seems committed to proving he belongs in Miami. 'Every day I'm trying to prove myself as one of those guys this team can depend on in crucial moments,' he said recently, responding to the growing trade speculation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo Yet his effort might not be enough to fend off front office decisions driven by salary cap concerns and long-term planning. NFL trade talk: Could Chargers land Tyreek Hill from Dolphins? Following the sudden retirement of wide receiver Mike Williams, the Los Angeles Chargers now have cap space, roster needs, and a quarterback in Justin Herbert who could maximize Hill's skills. While no trade talks have been confirmed, Phin Phanatic's Brian Miller believes L.A. is a logical destination. The potential pairing of Herbert and Hill could immediately change the landscape of the AFC West. Not only would the Chargers finally replace Williams with a more explosive weapon, but they could also challenge Kansas City's dominance—a team Hill knows all too well.

Whether he stays or goes, his situation will be one of the hottest storylines to watch this NFL season. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
