'Swear Jar' May Come To Jets Following Bowles' Fiery Halftime Speech
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Todd Bowles needs to curb his cussing — or it'll cost him.
The Jets' normally low-key coach used some profanity during his news conference after a 31-28 victory over winless Cleveland on Sunday. He was talking about his stern message to his team at halftime, when the players acknowledged Bowles had some choice words — aka, not suitable for innocent ears — for them after an awful first two quarters.
Jackie Davidson, the Jets' director of football administration, has a simple solution. And, no, not washing his mouth out with soap.
"I guess she's going to put a swear jar in my office," Bowles said Monday. "And every time I cuss, I'm going to have to put a dollar in it. So I'm going to have to watch myself."
The Jets struggled to a 1-5 start, but have won two in a row to keep the playoffs at least a possibility. But a few more foul outings, and that jar might fill up quickly.
