I picture Ed hanging out with Swoop and Wolf on weekends drinking, getting rejected by the ladies and bounced out of clubs.

Speaking from personal experience...i am going to miss Fireman Ed like a toothache. He's going to become a closet Patsfans now.

On occasion, you need only accept the proposition that traditions may face obsolescence. In the case of the barrel-guy, how could he compete with the monkey riding the dog during the halftime show?

Has anyone figured why Ed wears the Eye black.

delusions of something or other?

the fact that this all comes to a head after the patriots beatdown.

Its kinda like that scene in King kong where having realised he killed the T-Rex kong figures theres not much excitement left in his life.


NOT.


SCREW YOU JETS !

I can't stand the bastard. I wish him well as I would anyone else, but talk about an attention whore.

If he is a real fireman, then I respect him for that, though...

Fireman Ed was actually a FDNY fire fighter who was injured on the job in 2007. The fact that he was injured during the 2007 season with Spygate, Eric Rat Snitch Mangini, 16-0 and all is a bit ironic.

Rex Ryan gave Fireman Ed a game ball in 2009 from the Jets 16-9 victory over the Patriots. It's only fitting that he resigns his commission as king of the dipsticks following the Butt Bowl, unquestionably the most embarrassing loss in the history of the NY Jets.

Ed Anzalone was a firefighter and has my utmost respect for his service as a first responder.

I said this last night, he should have just let the last two games play out, do a couple of chants, and then fade. All he's done is made himself the target of more vitriol unnecessarily. He didn't need to go out like this. Now that he has, he gets what he deserves.

If Fireman Ed were truly the loyal goodie-goodie you portray him to be, he'd have shown up for Arizona and San Diego, did a handful of J-E-T-S cheers, and faded into February. Come June, announce that he's getting older and retiring from public view, just going to attend games quietly.

That would be the classy, correct thing to do. Would have protected his image, left some value in the Fireman Ed brand. Instead, he pulls this public stunt to draw more attention to himself to the detriment to the very team he supposedly bled green for all these years.
Wait...SarI wrote all that reasonable stuff? Wow.

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

This. It's a sad commentary on the state of society when you have to quit because of your own fans in your own stadium.

LOL, Joker. Even though I actually feel sorry for Fireman Ed, your posts always make me laugh...
