Safety Calvin Pryor was asked about violence against women after his first training camp practice in his first season in the NFL. He could have avoided the question. He didn't.
"No one should put his hands on a woman," said the New York Jets' first-round pick. "That's the way I was raised. If you put your hands on a woman, it means you're scared to hit a guy."
If only Roger Goodell, Ozzie Newsome or John Harbaugh could make a statement like that.
You're the man, CP3.
Speaking of Pryor, he arrived at Jets training camp on Wednesday and said that it's been a great experience so far.
The Washington Post mistakenly thought "Never Graduate" was Louisville's slogan and not, you know, ESPNU's. They then also totally butchered their post update.

A quick breakdown of the ACC's bowl payouts.
While the Sugar and Rose payouts are 45 percent larger than the Orange, the $12.5 million disparity calculates to a modest $892,000 for each of the ACC's 14 football members.
However, when the ACC plays Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl, the Fighting Irish receive "only" $13.75 million, leaving the ACC $41.25 million of the game's $55 million combined payout.
Finally, Swofford described a far more nuanced approach to filling the ACC's bowl slots below the College Football Playoff and Russell Athletic. Rather than have a distinct pecking order in which bowls select their preferred ACC team, bowls will be grouped in two tiers, giving the ACC office, in consult with the opposing conference in a particular bowl, more influence on matchups.
The ACC's tier one bowls are Belk, Sun, Pinstripe and Music City or Taxslayer (formerly the Gator). Tier two games are the Military, Independence and Detroit Lions Bowl.
"In an ideal world, everyone has a different choice and you're through," Swofford said. "But in reality, that might not necessarily happen. ... Potentially, it's a little more complicated, but I think it will be worth the effort, for everybody. Not that everybody is going to get exactly what they want. ... Hopefully everybody plays nice in the sandbox."
