The reason an arch demon incarnate like Woody Johnson bought the Jets is precisely because he knew the customer base....right down to their rotten cheese stink green socks. Throw the green Jersey mooks a few tough guy sound bytes, hire a blabbermouth snake oil salesman to front it and give his subordinate Mephistopheles orders to keep payroll down and attendance up by making big media splash signings of a select few, while bargain basementing the bottom half of the roster, and *voila*....huge profits and the back page of the Post every time a Jet farts...give him credit...he hoodewinked all of them for four years with this dog and pony show.
Today, however, the circus has left town...and all that remains are a few drunken clowns that missed the bus on the way out.
It's right out of Skyfall: put some coconut in a barrel to lure the rats in, then once all the rats are in the trap, leave them there. The rats will get hungry and will start eating each other.
Woody, Tanny and Rex spread the coconut (with some help from the media) and created their own rat trap.

It also might just be as simple as WJ looking for a biblical-sized tax write-off.
After all, I've been pretty well convinced for 20 years now that that's what the Bills are designed around.

This is very sad news, indeed. Fireman Ed was the face of the franchise. I suppose the Jets will have to go out and actually find a football player to take his place. Godspeed, Fireman Ed.
Well this sucks. Never like the guy…and now I will miss hating on him.
Wasn't there an article on him a few years back that he was on disability or something?

Much like Manning and that look from the sideline after Colts losses, Fireman Ed was fun to watch after Patriot wins. It is sad if a lousy Jets crowd drove him away (I am also a little hesitant to declare this final in the event it is a Peter Pan "clap if you believe in fairies" ploy for Jets fans).
I think everything he said in that article is reasonable and based on what I read on JI, which is probably a good cross-section of Jets fandom, I can imagine that he is subject to a lot of abuse.
This is much more respectable than what I thought had happened - that he had a temper tantrum over the loss and decided to leave.
I wonder what team he will move on to next and be a die hard fan for?
All things considered the jests have hardly been a bad franchise compared to some others in recent times.
Ed is a Benedict Arnold who was a Miami Dolphins fan during their heyday so he'll just move on to become a SF fan where male cheerleaders are eyed with more interest.
I don't believe his convenient after the fact "excuse" for bailing that those really really mean Jets fans said nasty things to him. Stormed out in a hissey fit, did he?

This attention whore fraud has repeatedly stated thet every penny he's made from Fireperson Edward goes to charity, yet the article states...
he did admit that he has earned some money on commercial endorsements, specifically for Budweiser and Pizza Hut.
