Deion Sanders Is 86 Percent Impaired, Workers Comp Claim Says

[TexasTowelie]

Deion Sanders, who has accused other NFL athletes of faking their head injuries for money, is cognitively impaired, four doctors have determined.

Sanders has had no problem using his pedestal as a Hall of Famer and television analyst to talk shit about other former NFL players suffering brain damage. "The game is a safe game," he said during the Super Bowl telecast last year. "I don't buy all these guys coming back with these concussions. I'm not buying all that. Half these guys are trying to make money off the deal."

But perhaps that was just the behavioral/emotional disorder talking. He apparently has that too.

In total, the four different doctors who examined Sanders found him to be suffering from 13 medical conditions. Sanders reported the grim diagnosis in a workers compensation claim he filed in California.

1. he's still got his gig at NFL network though.....

I thought when you filed a claim for workers comp you couldn't work.....or is that a falsehood?? http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/onairtalent I like him on TV seems fine to me.

2. I don't know why he would be able to file WC in California?

How many games did he play in California compared to other states? Out of 14 years he only had 1 at SF. California must be very lax in when the claim must be filed.

3. The Cowboys had training camps in California.

WC benefits are also more beneficial in California than in Texas. In the case of cumulative injuries such as concussions, the date of the first injury could also come into play.
