NEW ORLEANS -- San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver will begin sensitivity training and education immediately after the Super Bowl following his anti-gay remarks this week, then likely start volunteer work with at-risk homosexual youth nationwide. wholesale jerseys . Culliver is scheduled to begin working with "The Trevor Project," an organization that provides crisis and suicide intervention to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth, according to his public relations representative, Theodore Palmer. "Hes so passionate about youth and people being comfortable with who they are and accepted by all," Palmer said in a phone interview Saturday. "Hes excited to learn. The plan is with The Trevor Project, and their concerns are that he is genuine about his words." Palmer said once the education process is done, Culliver could eventually spend time volunteering at a crisis centre and in other formats. "Its just an opportunity for him to learn about his comments and educate himself about the LGBT community, and grow," Palmer said. "Its the first step in learning about his words." During Tuesdays Super Bowl media day at the Superdome, the second-year defender responded to questions from comedian Artie Lange by saying he wouldnt welcome a gay player in the locker room. He also said the 49ers didnt have any homosexual players and, if they did, those players should leave. He later apologized, facing a large group of media members for nearly an hour Thursday. He realizes some will still question his sincerity. "I hope people understand because its coming directly from me and Im talking to the whole world," Culliver said. "It is not (how I feel) in my heart." The 49ers -- who play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday -- released a statement saying they rejected Cullivers comments, and CEO Jed York vowed to take a leadership role with the LGBT community and groups back home in the Bay Area -- including taking Culliver around himself, he said. The interview Tuesday began with Lange asking Culliver about his sexual plans with women during Super Bowl week. Lange followed up with a question about whether Culliver would consider pursuing a gay man. "I dont do the gay guys, man. I dont do that," Culliver said during the 1-minute taped interview. "Aint got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do. Cant be with that sweet stuff." Lange asked Culliver to reiterate his thoughts, to which the player said, "Its true." He added he wouldnt welcome a gay teammate -- no matter how talented. "Nah. Cant be ... in the locker room, nah," he said. "Youve gotta come out 10 years later after that." When the interview became big news Wednesday, Culliver said he met for more than an hour with general manager Trent Baalke and coach Jim Harbaugh, and also spoke with teammates like veteran safety Donte Whitner -- who has a gay family member and has been outspoken in his support for the community. "Youve got to be very careful what you say," Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice said of Super Bowl week. "Im sure he regrets making those remarks." The 24-year-old Culliver, a third-round draft pick in 2011 out of South Carolina, made 47 tackles with two interceptions and a forced fumble this season while starting six games for the NFC champion Niners. He had his first career post-season interception in San Franciscos 28-24 win at Atlanta for the NFC title. wholesale jerseys . - The Kansas City Chiefs have traded cornerback Javier Arenas to the Arizona Cardinals for fullback Anthony Sherman. wholesale jerseys .Y. -- San Jose coach Todd McLellan was happy enough to laugh about the winning goal, even if it didnt come on the play he designed. http://www.cheapjerseysopen.com/ .

[url=http://www.atjerseys.com/]nfl jerseys china .J. -- New York Jets tight end Dustin Keller and wide receiver Chaz Schilens did not travel with the team and will not play in the season finale Sunday at Buffalo because of injuries. CHICAGO -- Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall werent about to let Andrew Luck upstage them. Instead, they played like theyd never been apart. Cutler threw for 333 yards and two touchdowns, Marshall added 119 yards receiving with a TD, and the Chicago Bears spoiled Lucks debut, beating the Indianapolis Colts 41-21 Sunday in the season opener. "We got the guys," Marshall said. "We have the pieces. We have the coaches." Matt Forte ran for 80 yards and a touchdown to go with 40 yards receiving. Newcomer Michael Bush added two TD runs, and the defence did its part, holding Luck in check. He was 23 of 45 for 309 yards with a 4-yard TD pass to Donnie Avery early in the fourth. But Luck also lost a fumble, got sacked three times and threw three interceptions -- two to Tim Jennings -- in an up-and-down start for a rookie with huge shoes to fill. All he has to do is prove the Colts were right to take him with the No. 1 pick in the draft and part with Peyton Manning after he missed last season with a neck injury. "There will be a lot of positives, a lot of negatives, well try to learn from it," Luck said. "Im still disappointed fresh off what happened but well get over it." Reggie Wayne, one of Mannings old targets, caught nine passes for 135 yards. But it was a familiar result for a team with new management and a new coach in Chuck Pagano after winning just two games. Then again, it was hardly a surprise. The Bears are eyeing big things, and they wound up with their highest point total since they scored 48 in a win over Detroit on Oct. 4, 2009. With their Pro Bowl running back and strong-armed quarterback leading the way, they racked up 428 yards -- 287 while building a 10-point halftime lead -- in their first game with Mike Tice as co-ordinator. Fortes 6-yard run early in the third quarter and Robbie Goulds field goal after LaVon Brazill fumbled away the ensuing kickoff made it 34-14. Cutler shook off a rough start and completed 21 of 35 passes. He got sacked by Robert Mathis for a 12-yard loss on the games first play from scrimmage, a familiar site for the Bears, and had an interception returned 3 yards for a touchdown by Jerrell Freeman on the second possession. But Chicago caught a big break when the Colts Dwight Freeney left with a sprained an ankle in the first quarter. The Bears believe they are poised for a playoff run after injuries wrecked a promising season a year ago, sending them to an 8-8 finish. New general manager Phil Emery revamped the roster and brought in a go-to receiver, reuniting Cutler with his old friend from Denver in Marshall in that blockbuster trade with Miami. "The chemistry he has with 15 (Marshall) dating back to their time together showed up today," Pagano said. Cutler said the opportunities for Marshall to make plays were there. cheap china jerseys. "I thought Indy, they werent really scared of him," Cutler said. "They were going to let him make plays if he was capable of making plays. They wanted to stop the run, and they were going to play man against us and try to beat us outside." One big concern is Brian Urlachers left knee after he initially injured it in the finale last season and had it scoped last month. The eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker practiced this week for the first time since July 31, and there was some thought that he should sit this one out, with a trip to Green Bay on Thursday. Instead, he started and coach Lovie Smith pulled him from the game after things got out of hand even though he wanted to stay in it. "I dont like to leave the game, but hes the head coach, so I do what he says," Urlacher said. Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Tillman limped off the field with what Smith said was a lower leg injury. He appeared to be favouring his right leg after Indianapolis punted on its first possession and came back for the next defensive series before sitting out the rest of the way. The Colts were missing receiver Austin Collie, who was held out because of a concussion, and their defence took a hit when Freeney rolled his ankle on a low block early in the game. That happened on the Bears first scoring drive, which wiped out a 7-0 deficit and quieted the groans that were rumbling through Soldier Field. That sack on Cutler was an all-too-familiar sight, and Freemans touchdown return on a short swing pass intended for Forte to start the second possession wasnt what the Bears had in mind. "When you come out and give up a sack, thats not playing well," Forte said. "Thats just a lack of effort right there, and then, we throw a pick-6. Its just were not focusing. We had to get that out of the way, and as you could see, it looked like everybody was focused on all the drives after that." They quickly erased that deficit, with a 32-yard run around the left end by Forte and a 15-yard spin through the middle leading to Bushs 1-yard scoring run. And they grabbed a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter on Cutlers 3-yard pass to Marshall. That came after a neat one-handed grab by Forte, who leapfrogged a defender while turning a short pass into a 31-yard gain. A deep pass by Luck intended for Avery got picked off by a leaping Jennings. That led to a field goal by Gould, making it a 17-7, and the Bears led 24-14 at the half. "Bad start to the game, great start to the season," Marshall said. Notes: Freeney was scheduled for an MRI. ... Colts RT Winston Justice left the game with a concussion. ...
