Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has again addressed his sexist comment made to Charlotte Observer reporter Jourdan Rodrigue.

According to David Newton of ESPN.com, Newton talked about it following Sunday's 27-24 win over the Detroit Lions. "It was a lesson learned for me this whole week," he said. "My sarcasm trying to give somebody kind of a compliment turned in ways I never would have even imagined."

David Newton provided a refresher course on the entire situation, noting Newton said "it's funny to hear a female talk about routes," when Rodrigue asked him a question.
