"If I don’t make the play, I’m upset with myself. That’s the kind of swagger I’m talking about."
Failing, i.e. 'not making a play' is no reason to swagger...at all...someone explain to me, what does swaggering have to do with failing?
"I’m not talking about a swagger with your pants down or nothing like that."
That's it. Everytime 30th Anniversary Jones fails to do his job on the field, he should be forced to 'swagger' with pants down (i.e. his)...
I guess that would convey:
* that he can afford to fail ?
* or that it's suddenly time to celebrate being signed
by *any* NFL team ?

also, why for the "first time ever" are they having a monster truck rally at PBS? That can't be good for the field, can it?

Hofbrau --
True about the monster truck rally, but at my local profesional baseball stadium holds monster truck rallies, motocross events, concerts and the like. It does make one wonder what it does to the field for playing on it.
