Getty ImagesI guess the cold tub is where the New York Giants keep their swag, because that's what they believe Prince Amukamara needs, and that's where they threw him. I don't know if he found it down there or not.

Swag, in this case, is being defined as confidence, maybe even bordering on arrogance. It's a belief in oneself. Swag would be the quality that lets a cornerback strut onto the field, stand across from a wide receiver, look him in the eye and tell him that he's about to lock him up ‒ and then do it. As a point of reference, Deion Sanders is probably the NFL's greatest all-time pillar of swag.

That's not the full extent of the definition, but we'll come back to that. Amukamara, for his part, believes he has a sufficient level of swag. Other Giants don't seem convinced. From Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News:

... [W]hen [defensive teammate Justin] Tuck was asked if hazing Amukamara could lead to him showing "more of an edge" on the field, he didn't deny that's something the 2011 first-round pick needs.

"I think he's doing pretty good," Tuck said. "Obviously you would like to see him be a little bit more vocal, a little bit more — as the young kids say — 'swag.'"

"He's got to," [fellow cornerback Corey] Webster added. "It's a cornerback thing. We're going out there every play alone. D-linemen have linebackers behind them. Linebackers have safeties behind them. Most of the time (at corner) it's just you out there, so you've got to have that kind of arrogance, the kind of confidence to go out and get that job done."

But what if swag didn't have to be showy? Could there be different types of swag? Ask yourself this: Did Barry Sanders have swag? And if he didn't, then does anyone else need swag?

Getty Images5. Passing Yards
Drew Brees, 2011: 5,476 yards

Dan Marino's single-season record for passing yards stood for 27 years before being broken in 2011 ‒ twice. Tom Brady topped it and Drew Brees smashed it, throwing for 5,476 yards to Marino's 5,084. Matthew Stafford and Eli Manning were in the ballpark, too.

Not one of those guys shouldn't be as good or better than they were last season. For Stafford, 2011 was pretty much just his second year in the league, as he missed most of 2010 due to injury. He's still getting better, and his chemistry with Calvin Johnson can only get more explosive. Speaking of which …

4. Receiving Yards
Jerry Rice, 1995: 1,848 yards

Johnson was only 167 yards shy of Rice's single-season receiving yards record last year, and I feel like Johnson has a better season in him. He can make up that 167 yards in a quarter, if he chooses to. Obviously, health is key (as it is with all these records) for both Johnson and Stafford if this record is going to fall.

Titus Young can be a factor, too. He can develop into a better complementary receiver than Nate Burleson, and if he does, he can help free Johnson up a little bit. As good as they were in 2011, there's room for Johnson and the Lions offense to grow.

On Sunday night in a 26-14 preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Austin Collie took a forearm to the head.

As head coach Chuck Pagano confirmed on Monday, Collie suffered a concussion on the play, his third since November of 2010. The good news is that Collie says he's feeling great. Pagano says that the Colts, in deciding when Collie will play again, will err on the side of caution.

The proper amount of caution would be to never let Collie play again. At least not in a Colts uniform.

That's the course of action suggested by Bob Kravitz of The Indy Star. In a thought-provoking column, Kravitz says that the Colts should take the option away from Collie. He advocates waiving the guy.

[The Colts] need to make a bold, brash statement, tell Collie and the NFL, "We will not be party to the possible long-term decline of a player we care deeply about. He may play in another team's uniform; that's ultimately his decision — hopefully his informed decision. But we know what repeated concussions can do to a person, and we will not stand idly by as this terrific young guy mortgages his long-term future in pursuit of short-term gains."

That would certainly be bold ‒ unprecedented, too. And in regard to how the NFL views concussions, things that are bold and unprecedented might be called for.

APWarren Sapp's new book, Sapp Attack, hit stores Tuesday. Some reviewers like it; some don't, but it can't surprise anyone that Sapp has some stories to tell.

In promoting the book on Tuesday, Sapp stopped in at ESPN Radio and relayed an amusing/disturbing comment Bill Belichick made to him before Sapp's 1995 draft. Belichick was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns at the time. Here's Sapp, from the "Scott Van Pelt Show," talking about the physical condition he inspired in Belichick:

"He's like, 'I just wanna tell you this before I go.' He said, 'I want to draft you so bad that I have an erection right now.' I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?' He said, 'But Mike Lombardi will not let me draft you'."

Lombardi got his way, evidently, as the Browns traded away the 10th pick of the draft, where they could've taken Sapp if they'd stayed put. Instead, they sent the pick to San Francisco (which used it on JJ Stokes), and moved down to 30th in the first round. Two picks later, the Buccaneers drafted Sapp and left Belichick with no satisfaction.

It's easy to kill Lombardi for passing on Sapp now, but he certainly wasn't the only one who felt that way. Rumors of a failed cocaine test submarined Sapp's stock just hours before the draft ‒ he talked about that Tuesday with Howard Stern.

Yes, it's a "Call Me Maybe" parody video, and yes, you overdosed on those weeks ago. Just watch one more. I promise, you'll be glad you did.

Is it just me, or does Pittsburgh Steelers training camp look like the happiest place on earth? Grown football players are singing and dancing with little girls. Old men and young women are making the act of taping ankles seem like the most joyous activity possible. Make-A-Wish kids are in the company of their heroes. Players are smiling while signing autographs, tousling the hair of young children, and using brooms as guitars. Everyone looks elated.

Madden '13 will be in stores Tuesday, Aug. 28, to the delight of video gamers and football fans everywhere. You probably won't have as much fun with it as Paul Rudd, though, who gets to taunt Ray Lewis and walk away unharmed.

If you aren't familiar, Rudd is referencing Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow," the Pittsburgh-centric jam that swept Pittsburgh and annoyed Baltimore around the time the Pittsburgh Steelers were heading into the playoffs last season. Ray Lewis, dominating linebacker for the rival Baltimore Ravens, likely did not love the song.

The Philadelphia Eagles' first-team defense allowed a Ryan Mallett-led version of the New England Patriots go 80 yards on it for a touchdown on "Monday Night Football," and head coach Andy Reid didn't like it.

Reid let defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins know about it, and Cullen Jenkins didn't like that at all. Then, Reid and Jenkins enjoyed come up-close time.

The drive in question included three defensive penalties. One was a roughing the passer call on rookie lineman Fletcher Cox that nullified an interception, and then there was a defensive holding on Nnamdi Asomugha that nullified a sack. Another penalty put the Patriots a yard closer to the end zone for the conversion, so they decided to go for two. They got that, too.

You can understand why a coach might get hot.

Jaxon is NudeLondon will become the Jacksonville Jaguars' home away from home, according to Vito Stellino of Jacksonville.com.

The NFL will announce Tuesday that the Jaguars will be playing multiple home games in London starting in 2013, according to the report. Officially, they'll be home games for the Jaguars (four of them, according to the AP), just 4,272 short miles away from Everbank Field in Jacksonville.

From the AP, here's a snippet about why the Jaguars would be desirous of London games.

[Owner Shad] Khan said last year he wanted to create an international fan base for the Jaguars .

''The NFL is going to be developing an international fan base. Why shouldn't it be the Jaguars?'' Khan said in December. ''In all honesty, internationally, they don't know the difference between the Jaguars and the Steelers.''

Enjoy, fellow world citizens! You get the Jaguars, pretty much because you don't know that they're not very good at football. Why waste a good team on you guys? And this ringing endorsement is from the guy who owns the Jags.
