    This has been pretty funny, the back story is joe was asked earlier this week if his team has swagger, he's facetiously said " oh well, I don't know about that, I'm not sure what that means, gonna have to look it up"

    He's a funny guy..my hope is that he knows how to win the hearts of his players..

    Or to instill confidence in the undecided via bold action and high performance in a given situation.

    I think when people claim Joe has no personality they just don't understand dry senses of humor.

    That ish was some genius level dead pan.

    I got a kick out of this. I'm sure the locker room will be having some fun talking about swagger this week. Good stuff.

    The thing about Philbin that stands out to me is the aura of just being an a overall good person. There's something about his human decency that commands respect, especially when you couple it with winning.

    Disagree, football especially is a sport about energy and enthusiasm.

    That is why I've not seen the Dolphins lose at home when the crowd was jacked and remained jacked throughout the entire game

    Depends on how the enthusiasm is used. If one uses the energy and enthusiasm to elevate the play of other players around them, respect is earned. If your cocky, suddenly your a target. Terrell Owens, Chad Ocho Cinco, i.e

    If your confident your respected and feared most of the time. Dan Marino, Peyton Manning, leaders like that. Teams change the way they play because of people like this. It is one of the things I always loved about Danny, you knew if you played him he would fight you until death

    I think he did that by letting the guys speak their minds after the fiasco.

    You can imply it all you want, if it aint there, it aint there. Acting like you're the **** only makes you look dumb when you lose, and classless when you win.

    Too bad Ocho still wasn't here. We'd have all the swagger 2 football teams could use

    Swagger implies confidence, regardless of talent.

    Disagree

    A certain amount of talent has to exist and a certain amount of success achieved to gain swagger

    unless of course it is at 4am on Saturday morning when leaving the pub......that kind of swagger

    Very funny and witty. I can only imagine what was going thru his head, I mean we have so called professionals asking questions to the coaches and that's what they come up with? It's pathetic what passes for journalism down here.

    The way I see it, you can be confident, be just an average talent, but the confidence in your ability can help you play above your natural talent level. Hence, have some swagger if you may. You can have all the natural talent in the world but if you don't have confidence in your talents, you won't have any swagger. Overachievers may have swagger to varying degrees. Underachievers won't have it.

    The condition one is in when leaving a pub at 4am, indicating some degree of inebriation, is generally just an accentuation of their character when stone cold sober. Those who are generally happy when sober, get happier when drinking. Those who are generally ornery, get ornerier when drinking. Those who are generally depressed, get more depressed when drinking, so on and so forth. So a guy whom after a night of excessive libations, feels some swagger, most likely had some to begin with. Whether or not it was justified. The booze just brings it out. JMO.
