Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: BigDaddyFin on September 23, 2010, 12:58:56 pm Is their mascot still the dude who runs around in the airplane shaped go-kart? Or is this that Fireman Fred loser?
Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: Sunstroke on September 23, 2010, 01:07:29 pm Really? That little push constitutes assault these days? Apparently the pussification of America is picking up steam... Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: BigDaddyFin on September 23, 2010, 01:23:05 pm ^^^^^
Agreed. That doesn't even get a dirty look from a teacher in grade school. Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: Dave Gray on September 23, 2010, 01:30:36 pm It's not assault, but that guy is an asshole. You can't just go shoving people. He's clearly using physical force because he doesn't like the guy chanting.
Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: Sunstroke on September 23, 2010, 01:58:12 pm I thought he shoved him because the Giants fan was intentionally trying to get up in his face while Ed was teaching the braindead Jets fans how to spell their team's name. ...and that's about as far as I go in defending anyone or anything related to the Jets. Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: Brian Fein on September 23, 2010, 02:34:28 pm As much as I hate Fireman Ed, that guy was being a dick. Everyone knows that's his thing, to stand on his little perch. He was trying to be a direct dick to Ed by mocking him, and he gave Ed a little chest bump as well in there.
I think the Giants fan is being the asshole here. Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: StL FinFan on September 24, 2010, 11:51:38 am ^ I think they're both being assholes.
Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: mecadonzilla on September 24, 2010, 12:49:04 pm New York fans can be assholes?!
Who knew? :o It's probably more difficult to find the ones who aren't. Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: MikeO on September 25, 2010, 07:19:29 am He should be banned from the stadium for life.
If that was any other fan that would be the punishment Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: CF DolFan on September 25, 2010, 08:21:37 am http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDmOXXvThcw&feature=player_embedded#!
This is a better video of the incident. Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: MikeO on September 25, 2010, 08:40:15 am http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDmOXXvThcw&feature=player_embedded#! This is a better video of the incident. It's been a rough week for the Jets. lol. Braylon, Fireman Ed. No Revis Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: Dave Gray on September 25, 2010, 03:47:52 pm Fireman Ed is an asshole. He's a FAN. He doesn't work for the team. He thinks that he's somehow special. F that guy. You can't just go shoving opposing fans that are doing the same thing you're doing.
Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: TonyB0D on September 25, 2010, 04:40:25 pm no one hates fireman ed more than me, but that guy was up in his grill, on his little perch, i mean what does he expect? he was CLEARLY instigating, and fireman ed just gave him a few shoves, they weren't even that hard!
i'm going to go kill myself because i can't believe i just defended that scumbag Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: Brian Fein on September 25, 2010, 04:54:18 pm I agree with Tony.
But I think Fireman Ed is getting weak in his old age. its funny how he makes like half a J, 2/3 of an E, a whole T, and doesn't even try on the S. Is he supposed to be acting out the letters or not? He used to, now he's just lazy. F them both. Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: MikeO on September 25, 2010, 04:57:19 pm Little Known Fact: Did you know in Fireman Ed's High School Yearbook picture he is wearing a Miami Dolphins sweatshirt!!
That is 100% true Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: StL FinFan on September 25, 2010, 06:13:28 pm Little Known Fact: Did you know in Fireman Ed's High School Yearbook picture he is wearing a Miami Dolphins sweatshirt!! That is 100% true this post is worthless without a photo Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on September 25, 2010, 06:24:59 pm this post is worthless without a photo a google search didn't yeild a photo....but this NYTs article references him admitting to it. So I am going to assume this is not just an urban myth. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/22/fireman-ed-sits-out-a-big-one/ Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: mecadonzilla on September 25, 2010, 06:53:12 pm Ed's already said he wears the #42 jersey in honor of Paul Warfield.
Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on September 25, 2010, 07:06:44 pm Ed's already said he wears the #42 jersey in honor of Paul Warfield. He actually wears Bruce Harper's jersey. Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: MikeO on September 25, 2010, 08:22:21 pm a google search didn't yeild a photo....but this NYTs article references him admitting to it. So I am going to assume this is not just an urban myth. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/22/fireman-ed-sits-out-a-big-one/ Yeah thanks for finding that article. It's true, Fireman Ed was once on HOWARD STERN like 10 years ago or so and Howard brought it up and was goofing on him over it. Ed wasn't laughing and was trying to brush it off as no big deal. Howard was like how can you call yourself a huge Jets fan when you used to root for their rival. Title: Re: Unofficial mascot of the Jets charged with assault. Post by: mecadonzilla on September 26, 2010, 09:16:37 pm I don't have the article on hand, but Ed said he chose 42 for Paul Warfield's sake. You can search for it if you want to, but I remember reading about it 10 years or so ago.
