Brett Favre was famous for trying to avoid the rigors of training camp. Try this one: Aaron Ross will miss part of Jaguars camp to watch his sprinter wife run in the London Olympics.

if Ross were going to Stockholm to pick up a prize for physics or peace and had to miss a couple days practice in November, nfl.com would find some scurrilous, ulterior motive for that, too.

"he could just have easily won a prize that gave out its award in March, or April, but not around the draft, though."

is there nothing someone associated with Jaguars can do that won't be belittled?
