'I never meant to hurt anybody'

Speaking out, albeit briefly, for the first time since his college football career at Ohio State ended embroiled in scandal, Terrelle Pryor appeared with agent Drew Rosenhaus on Tuesday and gave a brief statement in Miami Beach, Fla.

The former Ohio State quarterback apologized to the Buckeyes, to his former teammates and to now-departed coach Jim Tressel for his role in the mess that may take down one of America's proudest programs.

"I say sorry to all the Buckeye nation and all the Buckeye fans across the country," Pryor said. "I never meant to hurt anybody directly or indirectly with my conduct off the field and I am truly sorry."
