eee MONTREAL -- Anthony Calvillo says he feels great and hes playing well, so
why retire even if he is 40 years old? The Montreal Alouettes quarterback who
was named a CFL all-star for a fifth time this season announced Thursday that he
will return for a 20th season. Michael Jordan White Jersey . He signed a
contract for a year plus an option year, and will make another decision on
whether to continue after the 2013 campaign. "I have to evaluate every season if
I still enjoy what I do, and I do," Calvillo said. "I strongly believe that this
organization is going to continue to have success and I want to be part of that.
"Going on 20 years, at one point, youre supposed to retire and that day will
come. But todays not it. I have too much passion and love for this
organization." The leagues all-time passing leader had his left, non-throwing,
arm in sling from surgery last Friday to repair a torn labrum that he played
through since the third game of the season. Despite the injury, which forced him
to change his throwing motion, Calvillo completed 333 passes for 5,082 yards and
31 touchdowns in 17 starts. It was his seventh season of more than 5,000 passing
yards. And he excelled despite a run of injuries that claimed star running back
Brandon Whitaker and, at different times of the season, most of his starting
receivers. "I truly believe Anthony had his best season in 2012," coach Marc
Trestman said in a statement. "He overcame adversity in many ways." Calvillo
said the surgery went well and he will need four months of rehab work to be back
to normal. The sling will come off in three weeks, followed by two months of
work to restore full range of motion in the arm. Then comes another month on
building back strength in the limb. "I dont usually throw until May anyway," he
said. "But pain wise, there hasnt been any. "Ive just been very bored at home
not being able to do a lot." Calvillo calls his trainer Scott Suter his "career
extender" and said a new set of workouts have already been planned. The Los
Angeles native, entering his 16th season with the Alouettes, holds league
records of 5,777 completions, 449 touchdown passes and 78,494 passing yards. He
should pass the 80,000-yard mark early in the 2013 campaign if his health holds
up. Two seasons ago, he blew past the old career passing yards record that had
been set over 23 seasons by Damon Allen, who played until he was 44. "Theres
pride in myself to be the best quarterback I can be," said Calvillo. "Theres a
level Im trying to stay at. "If I felt I wasnt competing at a certain level and
didnt have that drive to win the championship, then I wouldnt be saying I want
to play. Im in a territory few quarterbacks have been at, and my goal is to play
as long as I can and enjoy it." With Calvillo, the Alouettes are likely to
remain the Grey Cup contenders they have been since he took over as their
starter in 2000. Now the question is whether Adrian McPherson, his back-up the
last four years, will opt to stay in that role or sign with another team.
McPherson mostly goes in on short-yardage situations. He scored nine touchdowns
that way this season. And he got to start the final, meaningless, game of the
regular season. Calvillo told him at the end of the season he was likely to be
back. "Ive always been honest with Adrian on where I am in my career," he said.
"The challenge for him is what he wants to do as a quarterback. "Does he want to
continue to sit behind me or try something new? I cant answer that question, but
I know hes a quality player who can help our team win, so Im hoping he sticks
around." Calvillo said he was close to deciding to hang up the cleats after the
2011 season, when the team lost the final three games of the regular season and
then was beaten by Hamilton in the playoffs. He had come back from having his
thyroid gland removed due to a cancerous lesion to set the all-time passing
mark, but felt he wasnt playing well. But then he came back and had a strong
campaign. Now his goal is to get Montreal back in the Grey Cup game after
missing out two consecutive years for the first time since 1998 and 1999. "Ive
kind of thrown out the whole age thing and I just try to enjoy the moment and
help this team win," he said. Calvillo began his CFL career with the defunct Las
Vegas Posse in 1994 and played three seasons for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats before
signing with the Alouettes as back-up to quarterback Tracy Ham in 1998. Calvillo
won Grey Cups in 2002, 2009 and 2010, was named the CFL outstanding player three
times. Taj Gibson Jersey . Concordia declared the

interviewed Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly for their coaching vacancy, a person
familiar with the meeting told The Associated Press. Kelly was the third college
coach Philadelphia interviewed since firing Andy Reid on Dec. 31. The person,
speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasnt authorized to release the
information, said the Eagles met with Kelly on Tuesday. Penn States Bill OBrien
and Oregons Chip Kelly interviewed with the Eagles last week, but chose to stay
at their schools. The Eagles have interviewed six candidates and plan to meet
with four others. Kelly recently called coaching Notre Dame his "dream job," but
he wouldnt be the first to explore his options, perhaps even to get a raise to
stay put. News of the interview comes just two days after Notre Dame lost to
Alabama in the BCS national championship game, a 42-14 Tide blowout that was a
sour ending to the Fighting Irish season. Notre Dame had won its first 12 games,
raising hope among its fervent fans that the program was back among the elite
after years of mediocrity. Just a year ago, Notre Dame athletic director Jack
Swarbrick gave Kelly a two-year contract extension to keep him with the Fighting
Irish through the 2016 season. Terms have not been released. Kelly was hired in
December 2009, getting a five-year deal. He left an undefeated Cincinnati team
that was ranked No. 4 at the time. Fans liked his approach and his resume, which
included improved records at Division II Grand Valley State, Central Michigan
and Cincinnati. He has done the same thing in South Bend, begging the question
of whether he is ready so soon to make a fresh move, this time to the NFL, or is
perhaps trying to parlay a better contract out of Notre Dame. It wouldnt be the
first time thats happened to the Eagles during this search. Regardless of any
candidates intentions, the Eagles have proceeded slowly. General manager Howie
RRoseman, owner Jeffrey Lurie and president Don Smolenski plan to meet with
former Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith on Thursday. Joakim Noah Jersey. "Jeffrey has been very
adamant with us that the key is getting the right guy," Roseman said in an
interview on the teams Web site. "The key isnt getting the right guy as quickly
as possible, so thats what were going to do." They met Denver offensive
co-ordinator Mike McCoy on Sunday and plan to interview Indianapolis offensive
co-ordinator Bruce Arians, Seattle defensive co-ordinator Gus Bradley and
Cincinnati offensive co-ordinator Jay Gruden. Two other candidates dropped out
of consideration. Atlanta offensive co-ordinator Dirk Koetter signed a contract
extension to stay with the Falcons. Syracuse coach Doug Marrone replaced Chan
Gailey in Buffalo. "This whole organization is built to support a head coach and
they know that -- not only in actions but in words -- and all they have to do is
call Andy Reid," Roseman said. "Its been a positive experience." The interview
with Chip Kelly last Saturday lasted for several hours, fueling speculation that
he was going to take the job. But Kelly, who also was pursued by Cleveland,
opted for the second straight year to pass up the NFL. He turned down Tampa Bay
last year. What do they discuss in meetings with candidates? "Everything, every
aspect of the organization, how they run meetings, how they run training camp,
what theyre looking for in players, what theyre looking for in coaches," Roseman
said. "You have to have a plan and know what you are doing in every area." This
is the third time Lurie is hiring a new coach since he bought the team from
Norman Braman in 1994. He hired Ray Rhodes on Feb. 2, 1995, after a long,
exhaustive search that included a flirtation with former Eagles coach Dick
Vermeil. Lurie needed less time to hire Reid, giving him the job on Jan. 11,
1999. ' ' '
