Sanders, who added that he’s “built for this,” wrote that he has “full trust in my medical team…and more importantly, I have full trust in Jesus!”
With his love for God, Sanders recently revealed the one thing he really hates–more than anything.
“Let me tell you what I hate. OK, this is universal. What does this mean right here?” he asks rhetorically in the camera. “My bad.
“I don’t believe in violence, but I’m gonna whoop ‘my bad.’ One day I’m going to meet the dude that’s ‘my bad,’ that started ‘my bad,’ and I’m gonna whoop him. I can’t stand that – ‘my bad.’ I know it’s your bad.
“Coaches hate that. Parents hate that. Don’t say it’s my bad because we know it’s your bad.”
Sanders was asked what he would prefer instead.
“Shut up and just do it over. Ain’t no ‘my bad.’ Just shut up and do better.”
Detailing his phenomenal sporting career, Sanders stated in his book Power, Money & Sex: How Success Almost Ruined My Life that the Oakland Raiders offered him more money than any other team, but he chose to play in Dallas for more time on the offensive side of the ball, a chance to win back-to-back Super Bowls, and because of his friendship with Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin.
But arthroscopic surgery kept him sidelined until his debut in Week 9 of the 1995 season, which was once again in Atlanta against the Falcons; the Cowboys won, 28–13. He went on to help the Cowboys win their third title in four years in Super Bowl XXX against the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he returned a punt for 11 yards and caught a 47-yard reception on offense, setting up Dallas’s first touchdown of the game and a 27–17 victory. Sanders played four more seasons with Dallas, earning Pro Bowl selection in all of them.
