FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets field house was empty and quiet, except for Todd Bowles talking about his late friend Tony Sparano. He started telling a funny story about their time together in Miami, and suddenly there was laughter in the cavernous building. Bowles, when he removes his game face, has the kind of laugh that makes you laugh. It comes on fast and gets loud quickly.
So, there was that time with the Dolphins ...
Bowles was the assistant head coach and Sparano the head coach from 2008 to 2011.
