NEW YORK - Bowles, visibly moved, let loose a torrent of praise for the Jets organization.
"I have nothing but respect for this organization," Bowles sputtered into the microphone. "When I met Mr. Johnson it was like meeting a part of myself. You could say that that there's a little Woody inside Bowles, a little Johnson deep inside Bowles."
For his part, Woody Johnson was equally pleased with the match.
"Did I move Bowles?" Johnson asked. "You could say I moved Bowles, from his reaction. But a big part of this management team needs to be acknowledged, and that is what? Izdik."
With a full chain of command that is pun-ready, the JEST vertical integration appears to be complete.
