Colorado adds mobile bathroom near team bench for season opener after Deion Sanders’ bladder cancer treatment
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Colorado football’s third season under head coach Deion Sanders got off to a strong start Friday night in Boulder. The Buffaloes’ defense recovered two fumbles and intercepted Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King in the first quarter.
But much of the pregame attention centered on Sanders’ health. In July, Sanders announced doctors had removed his bladder following the discovery of a tumor. The Pro Football Hall of Famer added that there has been no evidence of cancer since the surgery.
Coach Prime returned to the sideline on Friday, but he will not have to go far if he needs privacy.

Folsom Field now features a mobile bathroom near the Buffaloes’ bench. The portable privacy tent is presented by Depend, an adult undergarment company Sanders has partnered with.
“I wasn’t joking! I truly DEPEND on Depend. Ain’t NO SHAME in taking care of yourself. NO SHAME in getting health screenings. And there certainly ain’t NO SHAME in needing added protection or using Depend to stay in the game. That’s not weakness – that’s WINNING,” Sanders wrote on X last week.

Doctors said a section of Sanders’ intestine was reconstructed to function as a bladder.
Sanders faced questions about whether he’d be up for coaching after his health scare. But during a timeout in the second quarter of Thursday’s game, Sanders appeared energized as he engaged in an animated exchange with coaches and players.
During a sitdown with three-time Super Bowl winner Michael Irvin in July, Sanders mentioned he might need the assistance of a “Porta Potty” during football games.
“I know I got halftime, but can I make it through a game?” Sanders asked his former Dallas Cowboys teammate. “What if there’s a long quarter? OK, so I start thinking I gotta get a Porta Potty for the sideline.”

While Sanders faced health challenges away from the field over the offseason, he will now be tasked with navigating his first season without his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders. Quarterback Shedeur is a rookie with the Cleveland Browns, while Shilo, a safety, was waived by the Tampa Buccaneers last week.
After going 4-8 in Sanders’ first year at the helm, Colorado won nine games in 2024, and qualified for a bowl game.

Former England cricketer Moeen Ali has announced his return to the Pakistan Super League (PSL), saying he was excited to be part of the league’s “new era”.
After the 10th edition of the PSL earlier this year, the league is set for an expansion to eight teams, with the addition of two new franchises.
Meanwhile, Moeen, who has previously featured in the marquee league when he represented former champions Multan Sultans in the 2020 and 2021 editions, expressed his eagerness to rejoin the league.
Moeen stated that the PSL, since its advent in 2016, has “earned a reputation for top-level T20 cricket”, featuring close competition and talented players.
“I’m really excited to be joining HBL PSL in its New Era. The league has earned a reputation for top-level T20 cricket, with high-quality competition and world-class talent across every team,” Moeen wrote on Instagram.
The 38-year-old, who represented England in 68 Tests, 138 ODIs and 92 T20Is during his illustrious career, was also a part of the Three Lions squad that made its historic tour of Pakistan in 2022 to play a three-match Test series. Besides that, Moeen has made several visits to the country.
Reflecting on his previous experiences in Pakistan, Moeen said that he enjoyed playing in the country and specifically praised the enthusiastic crowd, which he said pushes players to give their best on the field.
“Playing in Pakistan is always incredible; quality of cricket is outstanding and the passion and intensity from the crowd push you to bring your best,” he continued.
“I’m looking forward to being part of it all and creating some great memories along the way. Ready for another special experience Insha’Allah!”
His announcement comes just days after former South African captain Faf du Plessis pulled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to play in the upcoming PSL season.
In a post on Instagram on November 29, the renowned cricketer said that he would not put his name in the IPL auction this year.
“It’s a big decision, and one that comes with a lot of gratitude when I look back,” he wrote in his post.
