NYJetsVets91 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I have definitely noticed a difference in the crowd since his departure... I'm sure the fact that we've sucked since then hasn't helped, but he was remarkably good at getting the chant going and it was pretty awesome being a part of it.

Integrity28 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Just judging by your interactions here in this thread, maybe the problem isn't Ed wanting to be a celebrity but more you were probably a dick to him during those 6 interactions. It seems to be your thing. I'd take it a step further and sum it up as Ed is a quasi-celebrity garnering attention, SAR has deep-seeded problems with self-esteem and envy making him desperate as sh*t for attention, and those things don't co-mingle well in any social dynamic. SARs points, sincere or not, about how the rest of the fans need to show up are good points. It's unfortunate that he's drown them out with the superfluous jealousy bit. He almost brought something valuable to the discussion... but couldn't get out of his own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 If you were a bigger fan you wouldn't sell your seats. The jets are more important than family events. No, they're not. I can make 5 or 6 games a year. Can't make Monday nighters or Thursday nighters, I travel for work during the season, sometimes my son has travel baseball playoffs or tournaments, its unavoidable, have to miss a few games a season. I lived in New Hampshire for 14 years and was a season ticket holder even then, averaged 5 games a year, that's 70 round trips of 10 hours each, I think I know a thing or two about dedication.

SAR I Can you collate the data on the amount of trips, hours, miles, pit stops, BMW tire replacements, and truck stop blowjobs you've given out across that same span? I think it's generally impossible to fully draw a conclusion on "dedication" until we have assembled all datapoints, and then completed an exercise in dedication mapping to weigh positive affinity (i.e. you giving out blowjobs) versus negative (i.e. you children having to have to spend time with you).

SAR I Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I got annoyed when you lied about Joe. But lets not let facts get in the way. I did not lie about Joe. I had a theory that Fireman Ed, FireIdzik, and Tailgate Joe were all working together to fabricate a story that didn't exist in an attempt to drive traffic to a disregarded ego, a once popular defamation website, and an asphalt barbecue grill. Two days ago I apologized to Joe. But then today I listened to a podcast and, hmm, I don't know. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I If you were a bigger fan you wouldn't have moved out of the area. Being a big fan takes a lot of commitment. When your wife says I want to see my family, you need to say not during football season. It is okay. Missing Jets games as much as you do doesn't make you a bad person. It just makes you a guy who isn't a huge Jets fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Bit Special Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 1. The atmosphere was destroyed when they moved into the spaceship. 2. My dislike of Ed when I was a season ticket holder was because of his activities away from doing a chant. And his being used for the West Side Stadium plan. I lost all respect for him after that crap. 3. I have zero jealousy of Ed and his "fame" he achieved as the lead cheerleader. I just didnt like his antics away from the chant. 4. Have fun with the petition. Maybe he will come back if enough people care. I dont think him doing a chant a few times a game (since... ya know... our offense stunk for a few years ) is really that big of a deal in terms of atmosphere. There is a lot more the Jets can do, and should get creative with new initiatives instead of trying to recreate the J-E-T-S chant. 5. In the grand scheme of things I dont give a rats ass. I dont buy tickets anymore. I dont attend games anymore. So what happens at/in the stadium doesnt matter to me. So I hope those of you who do waste your money on this team get what you want.

Make me idSICK Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 people who would never try to do something because they think it is the right thing to do can't relate to people who would... They always think there is some other motive - fame, financial gain, etc - because that is all that would motivate them to put in the time necessary to run a campaign like this. The petition is totally free to sign. I am not selling any Fireman Ed merchandise. I didn't ask for anything in return for putting logos on the homepage. I have to allow the newspapers to put my name in print because they won't quote me otherwise but I don't even have a personal twitter page. I have refused every television interview that was offered including a major network pregame show during the Idzik campaign. And I own a business - I could probably pick up thousands of new clients from all of this but I have never once promoted it. All I am trying to do is help make a difference. My reward for the Idzik canpaign and now this Ed campaign will be on opening day when our revamped roster that our new GM put in place is introduced and then Fireman Ed leads the loudest chant MetLife Stadium has ever heard... I will sit back proudly knowing that I - in whatever small way - helped make that a reality. And that is a good enough payout for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
