There is only one man who knows whether Deion Sanders will report to the NFL's Washington Redskins next week or continue to play minor-league baseball with the Triple-A Syracuse SkyChiefs.
And that man isn't talking.
Sanders, who has been with the SkyChiefs since June 29, said he does not discuss football matters while he's playing baseball. For now, Sanders said he's concentrating on improving his batting average so the Toronto Blue Jays, the SkyChiefs' parent team, will consider promoting him to the major leagues.
"At one time in my life, at a certain age, I was able to think about a couple of things at once and be effective," Sanders said. "I can't do that anymore. I'm just trying to take it one thing at a time and focus on one thing at a time."
But by this time next week, Sanders will not be able to sidestep football any longer. If he's still with the SkyChiefs and not Toronto, he'll have a major decision to make.
Next Sunday, the Redskins' players are scheduled to report to training camp at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa. The Redskins' first practice of training camp starts the next day.
