FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Even-keeled Todd Bowles had a hard time keeping his composure on Monday when he was surprised by a special guest during his weekly ESPN Radio spot on "The Michael Kay Show": Gladys Knight.
At first, the Jets coach couldn't believe that his all-time crush was on the call, even telling Kay "Yeah, right." But when Knight said hello, Bowles' voice went up a few octaves.
"Oh my God. How are you?" he said, in between fits of laughter. " . . . Thank you so much for even calling, I really appreciate it.
