* Bobzilla’s take — Sanders said he couldn’t remember the last time his body felt this good. But I’ve heard this before, so forgive me being hesitant to guzzle the Kool-Aid that all will be well with No. 21. You can’t help but wonder if he can stay healthy. You always wonder. He was somewhat defensive when I asked the obvious question about, given his contract escalation after this season from $2.275 to more than $5 million, is there a sense of urgency to prove he can still be the player he once was? “You tell me,” he said, then repeated. I tried to explain, saying that if he gets hurt, it could mean he gets released, to which he said, “I can’t think like that. Why would I think forward like that?” OK. Can’t blame a reporter for trying to ask the obvious.
