SAN DIEGO (AP) -Chargers star tight end Antonio Gates doesn't care much for Kellen Winslow's boasting, which could make Sunday's home game with the Cleveland Browns much more interesting. On Wednesday, Winslow hyped his matchup with Gates as ``a heavyweight match. It's me versus Gates. I want to be the best tight end out there.'' Winslow, whose 40 catches lead all tight ends, mentioned that Kansas City's Tony Gonzalez is behind him on the receptions list, followed by Gates. ``So I've got to stay on top |

It just stuck with me,'' he said as the Chargers, tied for the AFC West lead with Denver at 5-2, prepared to host the Cleveland Browns and their porous run defense. ``It was good motivation, you know what I mean?'' While he had been cruising under the radar, Tomlinson is now second in the NFL with 656 yards rushing (the New York Giants' Tiki Barber has 715) and second with 959 ya |

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -Kellen Winslow could be even more fired up than usual this Sunday. Winslow, never lacking emotion on game day, will return home to San Diego and play in front of about 50 friends and family members when the Cleveland Browns face the Chargers. His Hall of Fame father will be among them, watching his son play on the field where he redefined the tight end position. As if that's not enough for the younger Winslow to get excited about, he made it a point Wednesday to hype his matchup with |

Merriman said the positive drug test stems from a tainted supplement, and not many people give him a chance of avoiding a four-game suspension.
