Figured this should be in a different thread.  Since it's an active player on the Jets, it'll be cool and patriotic, not some silly publicity stunt.

Eric Decker, NFL wide receiver for the New York Jets, is scheduled to fly with the USAF Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team here Friday, July 17.

The Thunderbirds host a celebrity flight program in communities throughout the United States during their air show season. The program is designed to highlight individuals who have sacrificed time and effort in support of our servicemen and women.

Decker was selected for this honor based upon his efforts in support of our military service members.

The Eric & Jessie Decker Foundation, through its fundraising efforts and community outreach, strives to positively impact the lives of United States military service members and veterans as well as animals. EJDF is committed to the service of those who have served us via Decker’s Dogs, which helps fund the rescue, care and training of service dogs for military veterans returning home with disabilities.

Decker will receive a one-hour Thunderbird orientation flight in one of the world’s premiere fighter jets — the Lockheed Martin F-16D. Celebrity flights are not a reward for an individual’s actions. The program is a way to showcase American people doing amazing things in their communities, in line with the amazing efforts put forth by America’s Airmen every day.

Media interested in covering this event should report to the main gate on Lockport Road at 8 AM where you will be escorted to cover pre-flight training with Eric Decker for his orientation flight scheduled for 10:30 AM. Post-flight interviews will be available at 11:45 AM.

LOL what a fat, loud mouthed buffoon. This guy always has to make headlines and create a circus wherever he goes. What a joke. I seriously can't STAND this guy.

 

 

Why do we as the public know he's going skydiving?  Why did we know he was running with Bulls?  Lots of coaches do things for kicks in their private life, and they keep them private.  Rex has never seen a camera or mic he didn't like. 

 

 

The dude is a shameless self-promoter. He's the Kardashian of head coaches... needs to be talked about constantly, has lame sex tape, not really talented at all, has a fat ass...

"The program is designed to highlight individuals who have sacrificed time and effort in support of our servicemen and women."...super comparable....

 

Oh please.  There are 30 pages busting on him for "relentlessly self-promoting" at charity golf and softball events.  Rex Ryan never gives back to the community.
