It was the second-best yard gain in the Chargers post-season history and ranks as the third most all-purpose yards by a player in a single post-season game in NFL history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sproles is featured in a new mini poster of Famous People Who Stutter, which is available free to download from the Stuttering Foundation, &lt;a href="http://www.stutteringhelp.org"&gt;www.stutteringhelp.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He joins other sports legends who stutter, such as Bill Walton, Kenyon Martin, Ken Venturi and Bob Love, as the 18th famous person on the poster. Others include actor James Earl Jones, Marilyn Monroe and Winston Churchill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sproles said he learned to take his time while answering questions during an interview. “I don’t have to be in a hurry to say something.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I remember a long time ago my grandpa told me “don’t ever let anybody tell you that you can’t do anything because you stutter.” Sproles said.  “I always remembered that and worked hard at improving my speech.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Darren Sproles will be a great source of inspiration to young people who struggle with stuttering,” says Jane Fraser, president of the Stuttering Foundation. She notes that speech therapists, school clinicians, teachers and others often hang the posters in a prominent place in their office.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3879990749824516038-1086364280785365780?l=stutteringfoundation.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://stutteringfoundation.blogspot.com/2009/01/nfls-darren-sproles-shines.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Stuttering Foundation of America)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879990749824516038.post-1263415671559494744</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Dec 2008 17:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-24T09:25:01.551-08:00</atom:updated><title>Katherine's Myths</title><description>Katherine Preston is traveling the United States, interviewing people who stutter and gathering information for her book।  “The book will be a compilation of interviews with people who stutter around America.
