i wish he would just go away and take namath with him. from newsday The second "Monday Night Football" open of the post-Hank Williams Jr. era will feature Fireman Ed (Anzalone) as part of a theme highlighting the history of the Jets and the passion and loyalty of their fan base, and its relationship with coach Rex Ryan. ESPN got rave reviews for its Detroit-Chicago open last week, starring Lions great Barry Sanders, but that one had been in the works for several weeks, even before the network permanently removed Williams' pregame song in the wake of controversial comments about President Obama. The open for Monday's Dolphins-Jets game will be less elaborate.
I'd rather have Adam Sandler do the intro or Kevin James. But if the offense can get their act together I dont care.
I am honestly sick of Fireman ed. If I have to watch his stupid Jets Chant App commercial one more time on the Jets Website I'm going to kill someone
He makes this J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS chant like he made it up. He's a phony. People in 318 and the other side of the upper tier in the end zone were doing it years before him.
That's what I heard too. My dad told me that it was being done at Shea Stadium back when he was going to games during the 70s. Possibly earlier.
Indeed Bill. Biggest phony. I used to sit in 318 back in the early to mid 80's. Your father is right. It was done at Shea. I believe it started in the late 70's.
I've heard that as well from guys in my section years ago, but he has never said that he started it (Atleast not that Ive heard about). I mean from all we know he could have been sitting in section 318 back in the day.... That being said, hes really fucking annoying. One of my friends who sat in his section in the old stadium would always fuck with him and start the chant early. It was pretty funny as half of the section would be confused.
