Amar’e Carsares Stoudemire (born November 16, 1982 in Lake Wales, Florida) is an American professional basketball player for the NBA’s Phoenix Suns. He is a 6-foot-10-inch (210 cm) and 249-pound (113 kg) power forward/center.

Stoudemire won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award in 2003, made three appearances in the NBA All-Star Game, made first-team All-NBA Team in 2007, and won Bronze Medal with the United States men’s national basketball team at the 2004 Olympic Games.

Stoudemire’s first name had previously been listed in the Phoenix Suns media guide as “Amaré” or “Amare”, but it was changed to “Amar’e” in October 2008. Stoudemire told NBA.com that his name had always been spelled “Amar’e”, but the media had been spelling it incorrectly since he joined the NBA.
 Early life and career
Stoudemire’s father died when he was twelve, and his mother Carrie was in and out of prison during that time also. As a result, he attended six different high schools before graduating from Cypress Creek High School in Orlando, Florida. He told Isaac Perry in an article for Dime Magazine that what kept him going in that time period was God and the words of rapper Tupac Shakur.

He did not start playing organized basketball until he was fourteen. Stoudemire only played two years of high school-level basketball, but in those two years he was named the MVP of the Nike summer league. He committed to play at the University of Memphis, but never attended the school.

Instead, he declared for the NBA draft because of his desire to quickly help his family. The Phoenix Suns decided on him with their ninth pick in the 2002 NBA Draft due to a need for inside strength at the time. Phoenix was the only team that year to select a high school player in the first round.
NBA career
In his rookie season, Stoudemire averaged 13.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, with a season high of 38 points, against the Minnesota Timberwolves on December 30, 2002, the highest score by a prep-to-pro player until broken a year later by LeBron James.[citation needed] Stoudemire won the NBA’s Rookie of the Year award, beating out Houston Rockets center Yao Ming and Miami Heat forward Caron Butler and becoming the first player drafted out of high school to win the award.

The following season, Stoudemire improved statistically,but his team stumbled to a 29–53 record, and point guard Stephon Marbury was traded to the New York Knicks. During the summer of 2004, Stoudemire was selected to play for the United States national team in the 2004 Summer Olympics. However, head coach Larry Brown declined to give him significant playing time[quantify].

During the 2004–05 NBA season, Stoudemire teamed up with point guard Steve Nash to lead the Suns to a 62–20 record. Averaging 26 points per game that year and achieving a new career high of 50 points against the Portland Trail Blazers on January 2, 2005, he was selected to his first National Basketball Association All-Star Game as a reserve forward. In the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, Stoudemire performed magnificently, averaging 37 points per game, but the Suns lost in 5 games.
Knee problems
 

Amar’e Stoudemire trainingDuring the 2005–2006 NBA pre-season, knee cartilage damage was discovered and Stoudemire underwent microfracture surgery on October 18, 2005. Initially, the Suns thought he would return by mid-February,[6] but his rehab took longer than expected. Stoudemire, however, made an attempt to return but did not play well, going scoreless against the New Jersey Nets on March 27, 2006. On March 28 it was announced that he would likely miss the rest of the regular season due to ongoing stiffness in both knees. His manager stated that the comeback happened a little too soon, and Stoudemire needed to do more rehab. Stoudemire’s rehabilitation, which was led by Suns trainer Aaron Nelson[8] and Dr. Micheal Clark, the president and CEO of the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) went well as he stated during the rehab that he was pretty explosive and he gradually gained his strength back.

Stoudemire attended the 2006 USA Basketball camp in Las Vegas, although he ultimately did not play in the 2006 FIBA World Championship. His athletic trainers stated that he had no swelling since his most recent surgery and his strength and flexibility have been “better than ever: almost like superman”.[who?]

Stoudemire played in the FIBA Americas Championship 2007, but withdrew from the national team for the 2008 Olympics. Jerry Colangelo, managing director for the national team, said, “Amar’e has pulled himself out of consideration for the roster and that’s predicated on, despite the fact that he’s had an injury-free year coming back, he’s a little hesitant on pushing the envelope too hard.” Stoudemire had said in April 2008, “It’s more than a year-round grind. It’s last year and the year before that and the year before that. It’s really been like a three-year-round basketball circuit.”
2006–07 season
Before the 2006–07 season, Stoudemire changed his jersey number from 32 to 1. Dijon Thompson, last wore #1 the previous season.

Stoudemire joined the United States national team once and began practicing with the international team in July, but was dropped from the squad for its trip to Asia because coach Mike Krzyzewski believed he needed a proper chance to fully recover from his knee injuries.

On February 18, 2007, Stoudemire appeared in the 2007 NBA All-Star Game, his second NBA All-Star Game appearance. He scored 29 points and grabbed 9 rebounds, and came in second in MVP voting to winner Kobe Bryant.[citation needed] He had previously announced that he would make the All Star Game in his first season back after his knee recovered.[citation needed]

During the 2007 NBA Playoffs, in a series against the San Antonio Spurs, Stoudemire accused Manu Ginóbili and Bruce Bowen of being “dirty” players.[13][14] Stoudemire was suspended for Game 5 for leaving the bench area after an altercation between guard Steve Nash and Robert Horry. The Suns lost to the Spurs in six games.
2007–2008
Stoudemire led the Suns in scoring 25.8 and rebounds 9.1 in the 2007–2008 season. He made the 2008 NBA All-Star team and was named to the 2nd team on the All-NBA Team. Stoudemire also adjusted well to playing with Shaquille O’Neal, who the Suns had acquired in February. The Suns however faltered in the playoffs, again losing to their nemesis the San Antonio Spurs. The Suns blew a big lead in game one of the series, and seemed to never recover, losing the series 4–1 to the Spurs. Stoudemire averaged 23 points in the series. After the season, the Suns coach Mike D’Antoni left the team to coach the New York Knicks.
2008–2009
With new coach Terry Porter, the Suns game turned more to an emphasis on defense and a more controlled offense. The Suns offensive slowdown affected Stoudemire, whose scoring average dropped about 4 points from the previous season, although he was still the leading the team in scoring and rebounding. The Suns also struggled with Terry Porter’s system, and were just 28–23 and had lost their last five games just before the 2009 NBA All-Star game. Stoudemire started for the winning Western Conference in the 2009 NBA All-Star Game.

Looking to cut costs, and perhaps continue to break up the team (the Suns had traded Raja Bell and Boris Diaw in December) Stoudemire was expected to be traded before the NBA trading deadline on February 19, but a deal never materialized. On February 16, the Suns fired Terry Porter, and hired Alvin Gentry, who said he was committed to get the Suns back to their fast paced offense, a style which is best suited for Stoudemire’s game.

On February 19, in a game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Stoudemire suffered a detached retina, although he may have injured it earlier as he had been bothered by the same eye even before this game. He had injured the same eye in preseason, although this injury involved a partially torn iris, with no damage to his retina. He said then that he would have to wear protective goggles for the rest of his career, but stopped wearing them after seven games. Stoudemire underwent eye surgery to repair the retina, and that the recovery would take eight weeks, which would force him to miss the remainder of the regular season. He has announced that he will wear protective goggles when he returns to the NBA next season.
Off the court
In November 2008, Stoudemire received the NBA’s Community Assist Award, for his work with his Each 1, Teach 1 Foundation, and its efforts to provide safe drinking water in Sierra Leone by funding the building of water wells in impoverished villages. Stoudemire visited the country in Summer 2008, making visits to water well sites and meeting with President Ernest Bai Koroma and the rest of the cabinet.

Norval Eugene Turner-if something is wrong , never your mind

Filed under: Team, legacy, nfl jersey — Tags: , , — sportsboy @ 3:23 am

Norval Eugene Turner its said that he is one of the worst coach ever in NFL , don’t you what you think but in the following , you will see his carrer , it can’t change anything, but it would help you know more about him, and after this if you would like to come and visit and homepage (is about nfl jerseys) that would be great !

(born May 17, 1952 at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina) is the head coach for the National Football League’s San Diego Chargers. He also has served as head coach of the Washington Redskins and the Oakland Raiders, and as offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins, and San Francisco 49ers. He is the brother of former University of Illinois head football coach and current Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner.
Biography

Early career
Turner was a student at Alhambra High School in Martinez, California. In football, he played quarterback and safety. He graduated from Alhambra in 1970 and then attended the University of Oregon, where he started at quarterback.
Coaching career
After serving as a graduate assistant coach at Oregon, Turner was an assistant coach for the USC Trojans from 1976 to 1984. From 1985 to 1990, he was an assistant with the Los Angeles Rams. In the January 2008 issue of San Diego Magazine he was chosen as one of the “50 People to Watch in 2008.”
Dallas Cowboys
Turner was the offensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys on Jimmy Johnson’s staff when Dallas won back to back Super Bowls in 1992 and 1993. Turner got much of the credit for not only their success, but for helping shape quarterback Troy Aikman into a Hall of Fame player. However, he also was labeled by some as a problem.[citation needed] After Barry Switzer’s firing following the unsuccessful 1997 campaign, QB Troy Aikman made many urgent demands that Turner be named head coach. When Chan Gailey was named coach, Aikman was famously unhappy, stating “They’re screwing this team up.”[citation needed]
Washington Redskins
In 1994, following his success with the Cowboys, Turner was hired as the head coach of the Washington Redskins. In seven seasons with the Redskins, he went 49-59-1. In 1996 Turner led the Redskins to a 7-1 start but finished the season 9-7. They made the playoffs only once, in 1999, where they lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second round. He was released during the 2000 season of the Washington Redskins on December 4, 2000 following a 9-7 loss to the New York Giants where this dropped them to 7-6 on the year despite starting off with a 6-2 record, leaving Turner with the distinction of being the only NFL head coach in the post-merger era to be fired midway through a season with a winning record. Turner was replaced for the final 3 regular season games by Interim Head Coach Terry Robiskie. The Redskins finished 8-8 that made them ineligible for the postseason. Following his tenure with the Redskins, Turner went on to serve as offensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers in 2001 and for the Miami Dolphins in 2002 and 2003.
Oakland Raiders
When the Oakland Raiders fired head coach Bill Callahan following the 2003 season, owner Al Davis hired Turner to replace him. Turner went 5-11 in 2004, followed by a 4–12 record in 2005, and was fired on January 3, 2006. During Turner’s two years with the Raiders, he managed only one win against his division, the AFC West. In addition, Turner was unable to jump start an offense that, in 2005, included All-Pro wide receiver Randy Moss.
San Francisco 49ers
On January 17, 2006, Turner was named offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, a reversal of roles of sorts: former 49ers head coach Mike Nolan served as Turner’s defensive coordinator from 1997 to 1999 with the Washington Redskins.
San Diego Chargers
On February 19, 2007, Turner was hired to coach the San Diego Chargers. Though he had been a finalist to assume the same position with the Dallas Cowboys, a team for which he had been the Offensive Coordinator during the first two of three Championship seasons in the 1990s, he eventually lost out to Wade Phillips[2], defensive coordinator of the Chargers at the end of the 2006-2007 season. He took the reins of an NFL-best 14–2 record squad in the 2006 regular season with San Diego. Despite promising a strong start to the season and downplaying the effects of a major coaching turnover, Turner began the 2007 NFL season by losing 3 of his first 4 games. Subsequently, he was thought to be redeeming himself by helping the team to a 41-3 victory over the Denver Broncos on the road, a win against archrival Oakland, and a third consecutive win coming out of the bye week against the Houston Texans. The euphoria in San Diego was short-lived, however, after a road loss to the then 2–5 Minnesota Vikings.

By midseason, San Diego, a franchise thought to be a serious Super Bowl contender, had not won a single game against a team with a winning record. The first such win came in Week 10, when the team upset the Indianapolis Colts. This win was followed by another road loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After losing to yet another winning team, running back LaDainian Tomlinson called a players only meeting to discuss the season and the coaching changes. Following this, the Chargers won 6 straight regular season games, including a come-from-behind, overtime victory versus the Tennessee Titans. The next week, the Chargers managed to clinch their second straight AFC West Division title by beating the Detroit Lions in a lopsided game at home. The win against the Broncos on Monday Night Football gave Norv Turner 10 wins on the season - matching his best regular season record as a head coach.

Turner led the Chargers to their first playoff victory since 1994 with a victory over the Tennessee Titans, followed by a second playoff win over the Indianapolis Colts. The Chargers lost the AFC Championship game to the New England Patriots, 21–12.

In the 2008 season, he led the team to an improbable comeback in the AFC West starting the season at 4–8 but winning the final 4 games to finish ahead of the Denver Broncos. His Chargers beat the Indianapolis Colts for the second year in a row in the playoffs, but fell short to the eventual Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers in the Divisional Round game where his star running back LaDainian Tomlinson was out with a groin injury.

thank you for all those , i think you would like to know more about him , again you are so welcome to our homepage nfl jerseys , you have a nice day…

Stephen Orr Spurrier -wuu who is this guy ..

Filed under: legacy, touching story — Tags: , , — sportsboy @ 12:45 am

Stephen Orr Spurrier hey yo who is this awesome guy , no doubt  no matter what he has done , how far he has gone , there is always more to know about him.again of course you are welcome to NFL Jerseys

(born April 20, 1945) was a college and professional football player, and is the current head coach of the University of South Carolina Gamecocks football team. He was a two-time All-American quarterback, and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a player. Spurrier is best known for winning the Heisman Trophy in 1966, and for coaching the University of Florida Gators football team to six Southeastern Conference (SEC) championships and one National Championship (1996).

Playing career
Spurrier was a three-sport letterman in high school, starring in football, basketball and baseball at Science Hill High School in Johnson City, Tennessee.[2] In three years as the starting pitcher for Science Hill, he never lost a game and led his team to two consecutive state championships. He was an all-state selection in football, basketball and baseball, and a prep All-American quarterback.

After graduating from Science Hill, he played quarterback for coach Ray Graves at the University of Florida,where he won the Heisman Trophy in 1966.[6] In addition to being a stellar passer, he gained notoriety by waving off the starting place-kicker and booting a 40-yard field goal to defeat Auburn 30-27 in a key game during his senior season.[7] Spurrier finished his three-year, 31-game career as Florida’s starting quarterback having completed 392 of 692 attempts, with 4,848 passing yards, 37 touchdowns and 442 yards rushing.

The San Francisco 49ers selected Spurrier in the first round of the 1967 National Football League (NFL) draft.[Spurrier played for the 49ers for nine seasons, mostly as a back-up, before being traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers expansion team for his final season in 1976. He played his best game as an NFL quarterback against the Minnesota Vikings in 1973, when he completed 31 of 48 attempts for 320 yards.During his ten-year NFL career, Spurrier played in 106 games, completing 597 passes in 1,151 attempts, for a total of 6,878 yards and 40 touchdowns.[12]
Coaching career
After retiring from the NFL, Spurrier began his coaching career as the quarterbacks coach at the University of Florida in 1978, but he was not retained by the new Gators head coach, Charley Pell, when Pell took control of the program the following season. In 1979, he coached the quarterbacks at Georgia Tech under Pepper Rodgers, and worked as an assistant coach and the offensive coordinator at Duke University from 1980 to 1982.[14] In 1983, Spurrier received his first head coaching job with the Tampa Bay Bandits of the United States Football League (USFL), where he compiled an overall record of 35-21 in three seasons before the USFL dissolved. In 1987, Spurrier accepted the head coaching position for the |Duke Blue Devils of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Before he arrived in Durham, Duke had become the perennial cellar-dweller of the ACC. Spurrier proceeded to lead his Blue Devils to levels of success the team had not known in over 25 years, including Duke’s first bowl game appearance since the 1960 Cotton Bowl, and a tie for the 1989 ACC championship, Duke’s first since 1962.[16] After-back-to-back winning seasons, Spurrier was named the ACC Coach of the Year in 1988 and 1989.
Florida Gators
On December 31, 1989, Spurrier accepted the head coaching job at the University of Florida, his alma mater. He inherited a team on NCAA probation for the second time in five years, and a football program that had never won an officially recognized Southeastern Conference (SEC) football championship in 57 seasons of SEC play.[18] Spurrier successfully steered the program away from the previous scandals and captured the Gators’ first officially recognized SEC title in 1991.[19] Under Spurrier, the Gators won the SEC title in four of the next five years, and represented the SEC East in the first five SEC Championship Games.The 1996 team captured the Gators’ first-ever National Championship with a 52-20 win over Florida State in the Sugar Bowl, avenging the Gators’ sole regular season loss in which Florida State upset Florida 24-21 in Tallahassee.

The 1996 National Championship notwithstanding, Spurrier’s finest moment as a coach may have been the Gators’ 1997 game against the previously undefeated and national title game-bound Florida State Seminoles. Spurrier used a two-quarterback offense, rotating quarterbacks Doug Johnson and Noah Brindise in and out of the game, confusing the Florida State defense and its veteran coordinator, Mickey Andrews, and giving Spurrier more time to counsel his quarterbacks on the sidelines without having to use time-outs. Florida upset the heavily-favored Seminoles 32-29.

THAT IS ALL FOR HIM ,DUDE THANK YOU WELCOME TO NFL HERSEYS

Significantly, Spurrier is credited with changing the way the SEC played football. Spurrier employed a pass-oriented offense (known in the sports media as the “Fun ‘n’ Gun”) in contrast to the ball-control, rush-oriented offenses that were traditionally played in the SEC. His innovative offensive schemes forced many coaches in the SEC to change their offensive and defensive play-calling.
 

Spurrier stands on the sidelines during the Gamecocks’ November 15, 2008 game against FloridaThroughout the 2004 football season, various sources openly speculated about Spurrier coaching for a college team somewhere in the Southeast.[50] The University of Florida had announced that they would be looking for a new coach when Spurrier’s successor at Florida, Ron Zook, was fired after three seasons,[51] but after the Gators’ athletic director, Jeremy Foley, said that Spurrier would have to go through the interview process like anyone else, Spurrier removed his name from consideration to coach the Gators. Rumors began circulating that Spurrier was considering the University of South Carolina. On November 22, South Carolina coach Lou Holtz officially announced his retirement. In his speech, Holtz hinted that Spurrier would replace him. The next day, months of rumors were put to rest as Spurrier was introduced as South Carolina’s new head coach, signing a seven-year deal that paid him $1.25 million per year.

In 2005, his first season as the Gamecocks’ new head coach, Spurrier led his South Carolina football team to several notable successes. The Gamecocks, who were not expected to have a winning season by most pundits, rattled off a five-game SEC winning streak for the first time in school history. Included among those victories were historic wins at Tennessee (16-15)—-the program’s first win in Knoxville—-and against then 12th-ranked Florida (30-22), who South Carolina had not beaten since 1939.The Associated Press named Spurrier the SEC Coach of the Year, and the Gamecocks finished the 2005 season with a 7-5 record and a trip to the Independence Bowl.

Two days prior to South Carolina’s 2006 season opener, Spurrier announced that he would kick off the athletics department’s capital campaign with a $250,000 donation over five years. Spurriers’ Gamecocks opened the 2006 season with a 15-0 win over Mississippi State in Starkville, where he was 0-2 while coaching the Florida Gators. With the victory, he reached 150 wins for his college coaching career. On September 30, Spurrier was inducted into the Gator Football Ring of Honor in a pre-game ceremony in Gainesville. Later in the season on November 11, Spurrier returned to “The Swamp” to face off against his former Gators team, which was then ranked 6th in the BCS rankings. Trailing 17-16, the Gamecocks had a chance to win with a 48-yard field goal attempt on the last play of the game.
However, Ryan Succop’s kick was blocked as time expired in a repeat of an earlier blocked extra-point attempt. In the final game of the regular season, Spurrier led the Gamecocks to victory over in-state rival Clemson at Death Valley. Trailing 28-14 in the third quarter, South Carolina scored 17 unanswered points to lead 31-28. With 8 seconds left in the game, Clemson’s field goal attempt missed wide left as USC celebrated their first victory over Clemson in five years. On December 2, amid speculation he was a candidate for head coaching jobs at Miami and Alabama, Spurrier received a contract extension through 2012 and a raise from $1.25 million to $1.75 million annually.[61] Spurrier and the Gamecocks went on to defeat the Houston Cougars in the Liberty Bowl on December 29, to finish the season 8-5. All five 2006 losses were to ranked opponents. Spurrier became the first coach in USC football history to take a South Carolina team to a bowl game in both of his first two seasons as head coach.

During the 2007 football season, Spurrier’s third as USC head coach, the Gamecocks got off to a quick start, chalking up a 16-12 win over SEC East rival (and 11th-ranked) Georgia in Athens, in the second game of the season, as well as beating previously undefeated (and 8th-ranked) Kentucky 38-23. South Carolina climbed to 6th in the Associated Press Poll and BCS rankings, but the Gamecocks could not sustain their winning streak, however, and lost their final five games of the season. The 6-6 (3-5 SEC) season record marked Spurrier’s first non-winning season since his first season at Duke in 1987.

The Ladies Clinic
A popular tradition, started during the Sparky Woods era at USC, occurs on the last Saturday of July when the University of South Carolina athletics department hosts the annual “Steve Spurrier Ladies Football Clinic.” Only female fans are invited to attend the clinic where USC football coaches and players discuss the X’s and O’s with fans who want to understand the game better.

Jeff Saturday-Center, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE HIM

Filed under: legacy, nfl jersey — Tags: , , — sportsboy @ 11:17 pm

Jeffrey Bryant Saturday , Be4 this , i think lots of you guys would like to know where can i have the stuff that shows me a fans of him, of coufse you could come to nfl jerseys(born June 8, 1975 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American football center for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League. He was signed by the Colts as an undrafted free agent in 1999. He played college football at North Carolina. He is also a member of the Executive Committee of the National Football League Players’ Association.

Entrance into the NFL
Saturday attended Shamrock High School in Georgia. He played college football at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he started 37 games at center and earned multiple conference awards.

He went undrafted in the 1998 NFL Draft, but the Baltimore Ravens signed him as a free agent on April 27, 1998, only to waive him on June 12, 1998. The Colts signed him as a free agent on January 7, 1999, and he has remained with the Colts ever since.
NFL career
In his rookie season, Saturday backed up starting guard Steve McKinney, and earned his first NFL start at left guard on November 21, 1999, against the Philadelphia Eagles. After only two regular season starts in 1999, Saturday started all 16 regular season games of the 2000 season at center for the Colts. Over the following seasons, Saturday remained the team’s starting center, appearing in 85 consecutive games before sitting out two games with an injury in December 2004. He remains a fixture on the Colts’ offensive line, which has given up the fewest quarterback sacks among all NFL teams in the 2004, 2005, and 2006 seasons.

He was selected to his second NFL Pro Bowl in 2006, and started for the AFC squad. In his first eight NFL seasons with the Colts, Saturday appeared in 121 regular season games, starting 112 of them. He also appeared in 13 playoff games, starting 12 of them. He passed the ball once during a game in 2004, but his attempt fell incomplete. His career passer rating stands at 39.6.

On February 26, 2009, Saturday signed a three-year $13 million dollar contract with the Colts including a $7.45 million dollar signing bonus.
2007 playoffs
Though the Colts won at least 10 regular season games for five consecutive years under Head Coach Tony Dungy, the team could not get to the Super Bowl, losing in the AFC Playoffs from 2002 to 2005. The 2006 Colts went 12-4 in the regular season but expectations were low in the playoffs as the team only earned a three-seed in the AFC. Nonetheless, on January 21, 2007, Saturday helped the Colts win the AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots when he recovered a teammate’s fumble in the end zone and scored a touchdown. In that same game, the Patriots’ left guard Logan Mankins also scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery, making that game the first in NFL playoff history to have two offensive linemen score touchdowns in the same game.

 It was also the first playoff game in which an offensive lineman and defensive lineman (Dan Klecko) from the same team scored a touchdown. Saturday also provided the key block on the game-winning touchdown run by Joseph Addai, pancaking Vince Wilfork, with quarterback Peyton Manning naming Saturday’s play “The Block.”[2] Two weeks later, he helped the Colts win Super Bowl XLI against the Chicago Bears.
Honors and awards
Saturday was voted onto three Pro Bowl teams in 2005, 2006, and 2007 and for those seasons he was named to the Associated Press NFL All-Pro First Team. Saturday also received the “Tuesday Morning Quarterback Non-QB Non-RB NFL MVP Award” from ESPN columnist Gregg Easterbrook in January of 2007.

Antonio D. Gates -all the crush on him

Filed under: legacy, nfl jersey — Tags: , , — sportsboy @ 5:55 am

Antonio D. Gates no doubt you know a lot about him , and i’ve  never been more sure you would like do know everything about him , so if you do ,follow meeee.. surly you can visit our homepage to get more imfor about nfl jerseys , cuz it means you are one of his fans

(born June 18, 1980 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American football tight end for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League. He was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2003 after giving up playing basketball after college. He attended college at Kent State.

College career
Before his rookie season of 2003, Gates had not played organized football since his senior year at Central High School in Detroit. While there, Gates led Detroit Central High School to a Class A state championship in basketball as a senior, and was a first-team all-state selection in football and basketball.

After high school, Gates was recruited by Michigan State to play linebacker. Gates wanted to play both football and basketball, but then coach Nick Saban wanted him to play only football. Basketball was his favorite sport, so after his first semester he transferred to Eastern Michigan University to play basketball. He played there for part of a season, subsequently ended up playing at two junior colleges, and then finally landed at Kent State University in northeast Ohio. Coming out of junior college, Gates originally committed to Fresno State, but he immediately flipped to Kent State when his former high school coach, Oronde Taliaferro, was hired as an assistant. Gates spent two seasons as the Golden Flashes starting power forward and led the team to a MAC championship and the Elite Eight in 2002 and to the MAC championship game the following season. Gates was Second Team All-MAC as a junior and a First Team All-MAC and an Honorable Mention All-American selection as a senior.

NFL career

San Diego Chargers
After being told by scouts that he was too much of a “tweener” (6′4″) to make the NBA, Gates arranged a workout in front of NFL scouts. As many as 19 teams were believed to have contacted Gates about a try out. Gates chose to work out first for the San Diego Chargers. Recognizing his enormous potential, the Chargers immediately signed him to a contract as an undrafted free agent.

After finishing a solid 2003 rookie season in which he caught 24 passes for 389 yards and two scores, he was picked by many experts to have a breakout season in 2004. That year, only his second season in the NFL, Gates became quarterback Drew Brees’ favorite target, finishing the season with 81 receptions for 964 yards and 13 touchdowns. On December 19, Gates tied the NFL season record for touchdowns by a tight end (13) in a 21–0 win over the Cleveland Browns, and he went on to break that record in an overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts on December 26. Gates was selected to the 2005 Pro Bowl and caught a TD pass from Colts’ quarterback Peyton Manning to help the AFC to a 38–27 victory. Additionally, Gates was on the receiving end of a 33 yard pass from teammate Drew Brees in a flea-flicker play selected by fans online.

On August 23, 2005, after holding out for a contract extension, Gates inked a six-year deal worth up to $24 million with the San Diego Chargers. Because of his holdout, Gates was suspended one game the home opener against the Dallas Cowboys. Gates went on to have another stellar season, catching 89 passes for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns, but the Chargers missed the playoffs by a slim margin.

With the departure of Drew Brees during the offseason, it was assumed that Gates would suffer a decline in production in 2006 with first-year starter Philip Rivers at the helm. Gates had a relatively quiet start to the season, but he finished the year strongly and ended up with 924 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. He caught two touchdown passes on December 10 against Denver to help the Chargers clinch their division.

his story
Antonio Gates admits he made his share of mistakes growing up.

He said he was involved in drugs, performed poorly in school, got kicked out of school and was involved in his share of fights. Now, he’s one of Detroit’s success stories as an all-pro tight end for the San Diego Chargers.

And his rags-to-riches story is sure to resonate with the nearly 400 youth football players who will participate in the second annual Sound Mind, Sound Body camp that runs through Saturday at Wayne State.

“Whenever I go out there on Sundays, a little bit of Detroit remains with me,” Gates said during a telephone interview from San Diego. “I think of my brother and sisters. I think of what I went through to get to where I am, and I am very appreciative of everything.”

The camp is expected to attract some top speakers, including Lions linebacker Larry Foote (Detroit Pershing, Michigan) and Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez.

And of course, Gates, who says it’s important the kids hear his story and realize he walked a similar path they’re on right now.

“I think it means more hearing it from me as opposed to someone who grew up in the suburbs and really didn’t have any trauma in their lives,” Gates said. “I mean, I went through what a lot of these kids are going through now. It was rough. So I think it means a lot hearing that story from me.”

Mr. Consistency
We always hear stories about certain teams and players “showing up” for games. Well, Warren’s Ryan Gatto always “showed up.”

Gatto recently graduated from Warren Cousino High without missing a day of class in 13 years — that’s kindergarten through 12th grade. He carried a 3.8 grade-point average and played football and baseball at Cousino.

So, when you talk about athletes showing up, think of Gatto
2008
Gates has said he is leaning toward having surgery to repair a dislocated left big toe that slowed his performance during the playoffs. Gates said he will decide whether to have surgery or not. “There is higher chance I’m going to have surgery.” said Gates. Gates also pulled out of his 5th Pro Bowl selection because of his injuries alongside his teammate LaDainian Tomlinson. Gates finished the season with 60 receptions for 704 yards and 8 touchdowns.

On February 23, 2008, Gates said he would have foot surgery to fix the injury that has hurt him in the final part of the season. He would face a 4-6 month recovery time. He seemed questionable for Week 1 and even sounded worried about his status for Opening day. However, he made it and has played every game so far. He said his toe was bothering him some during the first half of the season, but it certainly wasn’t too visible when looking at the stats he has so far. Now he has stated his toe is completely healthy and he will play at 100%.
Facts and records
Since 2004, only Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison, New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss, and Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens have caught more touchdowns than Gates.
In 2005 and 2006 Antonio Gates was selected as the NFL’s All-Pro tight end.
Gates also holds the single season touchdown reception record for tight ends with 13.

Cam Cameron- if you know him..

Filed under: Team, legacy, nfl jersey — Tags: , , — sportsboy @ 11:49 pm

Malcolm  Cam  Cameron if you know him

 (born February 6, 1961 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina) is currently the offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens. He was previously head coach of the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League, offensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers, and head coach at Indiana University. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh announced Cameron as the new offensive coordinator on January 23, 2008.

Playing career
A multi-sport athlete, Cameron was an All-American quarterback at Terre Haute South Vigo High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. He won the 1979 Trester Award for mental attitude as a guard on the high school basketball team which went to the state finals three years in a row. He played football and basketball at Indiana University under coaches Lee Corso and Bob Knight, respectively until a knee injury ended his playing career. As an undergraduate he was a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. He graduated from Indiana in 1983 with a degree in business.
Coaching career beginnings
Cameron spent the first ten years of his career at the University of Michigan, where he learned from long-time Wolverine coach Bo Schembechler. After two years as a graduate assistant, he became Michigan’s youngest assistant and was responsible for tutoring quarterbacks and receivers. He coached many future NFL players, including Jim Harbaugh, Elvis Grbac, Todd Collins, Amani Toomer, Derrick Alexander and Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard.. Cameron served as an assistant at Michigan alongside future head coaches Lloyd Carr, Gary Moeller, Les Miles, and Mike DeBord. His fellow graduate assistant was Mike Trgovac, who is currently the defensive line coach of the Green Bay Packers, after serving six years as the defensive coordinator of the Carolina Panthers.
Professional coaching beginnings
Cameron was the quarterbacks coach for the Washington Redskins between 1994 and 1996. He is credited with guiding quarterback Gus Frerotte to his only Pro Bowl appearance in 1997, and also played a key role in the development of Pro Bowl quarterback Trent Green[2].
Return to Indiana
Cameron returned to his alma mater to serve as the head coach for Indiana University in 1996, a position he held through 2001 where he won less than one-third of his games with a record of 18-37. During 2001, Cameron coached quarterback Antwaan Randle El who was named a 2001 first-team All-American and the Hoosiers averaged 435.3 yards per game.[citation needed
Back to the NFL

San Diego Chargers
From 2002-2006, he served as the offensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers. In 2004, San Diego scored 446 points, third-highest in the NFL that year and the third-most in team history. Following the 2004 campaign, Sports Illustrated named Cameron its Offensive Assistant of the Year. In 2005, the Chargers averaged 26.1 points per game - good for fifth in the NFL in that category. In 2006, the Chargers offense amassed a team-record 494 points while paving the way for league MVP LaDainian Tomlinson to break the single-season touchdown record. In addition to Tomlinson, Cameron had the opportunity to work with Pro Bowl quarterbacks Drew Brees and Philip Rivers, as well as All-Pro tight end Antonio Gates in San Diego.
Miami Dolphins
Cameron was interviewed for a number of head coaching jobs, including the Houston Texans and St. Louis Rams vacancies following the 2005 season but was not hired. Cameron also interviewed for the head coaching jobs with the Arizona Cardinals and Atlanta Falcons in January 2007 but Miami was the only club that made an offer.

His 2007 Dolphins lost 13 consecutive games to start the season, before beating the Baltimore Ravens in overtime on December 16 for their first and only win. The Dolphins ended the 2007 season in last place in the AFC East with a 1-15 record, the worst record in the NFL that year.[3][4] On January 3, 2008, Jeff Ireland, the General Manager of the Miami Dolphins, announced the firing of Cameron.
Baltimore Ravens
On January 23, 2008 Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh announced Cam Cameron as the Ravens’ new offensive coordinator.[6] Early in the season Cameron worked with Harbaugh to institute the “Suggs package,” a two quarterback offense featuring Joe Flacco and Troy Smith. Coincidentally, Cameron received his only NFL head coaching win against the Ravens in 2007.
Personal
Cameron was born on February 6, 1961 in Chapel Hill, NC and currently lives in Baltimore Maryland with Missy, his wife, and four children. Cameron credits Tom Harp, an assistant under Earl Blaik at the U.S. Military Academy and former head football coach at Cornell, Duke and Indiana State, as being the earliest and most important influence on his desire to get into coaching.

some news about him

The Miami Dolphins have fired coach Cam Cameron after less than a year, the Miami Herald reports. Most of his coaching staff is gone, too, after a 1-15 season that also cost the general manager his job. “We needed someone in place who shared the same philosophical compatibilities we shared,” said new GM Jeff Ireland. “We weren’t completely sold that he did.”

The decision follows meetings Tuesday and today between Cameron and Bill Parcells, the successful former coach recently enlisted to run football operations. The team may now be considering Cowboys assistant head coach Tony Sparano and Arizona running backs coach Maurice Carthon. “We’ll have a broad range of candidates. We’ll look into every possibility,” said Ireland, who was hired yesterday.

 

and that’s we what we know about him..thank you…
