RICHMOND, Va. -- Little-known fact about Todd Bowles: He once appeared in a post-Super Bowl Disney World commercial.
"That's my claim to fame," the New York Jets' coach told ESPN with a laugh.
It wasn't his commercial, of course. The person who wished upon a star was Washington Redskins teammate Doug Williams, who was named the MVP in Super Bowl XXII after the 1987 season. The commercial included a clip of Williams walking off the field at the end of his historic performance, and one of the players congratulating him was a 24-year-old Bowles, who had an Afro and a thick mustache.
