GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (AP) - Jerry Jones wants Cowboys fans to know he has "special" feelings toward Bill Parcells, despite a secretly recorded conversation in which he's heard saying otherwise.

Speaking for the first time since a 47-second, cell-phone video hit the Internet, Jones says anyone who considered his remark about Parcells as being negative took it out of context.

He told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram at a charity function Thursday that if he says 'you're not worth a flip,' then that means I think you're pretty good."

Jones said the release of the video was a reminder that he needs to be more guarded.
