Sounds to me like his "take one for the team" reference is what the boys in the frat house used to refer to as, "jumping on the hand grenade." The exact meaning of that is so quasi-misogynistic, I don't know that I can euphemize it here.
How the hell do you take one for the other team? Act in complete and utter selfishness? 's all I can imagine.
