Gas2No99 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 What would you like to see happen with the chant? Do you think what the Jets did last year worked? Like in Rocky 2 when Adrian told Rock what she wanted from him. We don't need Ed. The chant will return when it has been earned by the team by performing a single act each week: WIN and the roar of the chant will return. No quitter fins fan in a toy hat necessary.

j4jets Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 is it safe to assume that since you live in Dallas, you do not go to the home games? Because if that is the case, why do you care who leads the chant. That is a game day atmosphere thing. It doesn't make you less of a fan that you don't go to the games - but it certainly makes you less qualified to discuss this topic. Yes, it's safe to assume I don't go to many games. When you have players talking about, it becomes my business. I don't have anything against the chant, just don't think a guy's balls need to be sucked so publicly.

j4jets Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 took no pride in being the chant leader? Are you kidding me? Further… are you aware that he still attends every home game? Probably not.. you are just talking nonsense. He didn't walk out of the game because he had problems with the front office or coaching staff.. he left because he was assaulted in a bathroom and he was with his family so he wanted to get them out of there. Do some research if you are going to speak about a topic that you have no clue about rather than spew nonsense and pretend it is fact. I know he attends the games and I know the whole story. He quit because he had a couple of "confrontations". Almost three decades n they were wiped away by a couple of confrontations? You really want me to believe that? A firefighter who had thousands of supporters on his side but quit cuz of couple of confrontations? Not buying that story. You can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Please know, this only my opinion, and I share it as unique to me- I never understood the want to have cheerleaders, or mascots, or symbolic representatives of fans at any game. To me, it is the stadium experience and the performance of the team that should unite fans in exultation or cheers. Not someone or representative of the team telling me when I should shout or feel excited. I can take clues upon that myself. Personally, I thought it embarrassing to the Jets, when Fireman Ed was shown in ads with characters such as Swoop and other "team mascots". Philadelphia also has its own spelling cheer, and they do that just fine without anyone appointed to lead it. I also remember cringing hearing at times the J-E-T-S cheer when the Jets were on offense. It was like, "what the?" You see this I like...a well thought out post. It is opposite to what I feel, but I really appreciate when someone takes the time to lay out their case. We all won't agree on everything we know that. But I like when we exchanges like this take place. (Now once I check the baseball forum and see what Scott posted after the Yankees loss today, I am not sure I will feel the same way though).

SAR I Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 LOL...only three or four times before they shut it down and I couldn't go anymore. You should be so proud of yourself. I commend the Jets for shutting down the pervs as much as you commend them for ridding the stadium of low-income fans. Firmeman Ed getting fans pumped for a football game at a football game should be done away with but sexually harassing female fans should be a tradition...some people. I don't know about a tradition, but it made me laugh harder than anything before or since. Only Jets fans could coerce a girl out of her shirt while simultaneously pelting poor kids with glass. Was surreal. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW...I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the women you weren't screaming at in that pic were nowhere near grown women. Looked like a couple of sixteen year olds trying to pass for 24.

Let's make it interesting... Ed was attempting a comeback with or without you because the Jets are relevant again and there is a marginal publicity opportunity and a fractional retirement income stream to be attempted. I'm just surprised that you fell for it. Funny thing about being the "voice of the fan" is when you guess wrong it's all over, there is no coming back. You shouldn't have let Ed take you down like this. The airplane, the billboard, that was cutting-edge stuff, brilliantly played social media, it was perfect. A mascot who quit on his team due to irrelevance pretending that an alphabet chant is his life's work and acting like the victim? You should have said no thanks and good luck and patiently waited for the next GM to feel the wrath of the common fan and taken your second shot then. Lord knows in a town with Brian Cashman, Sandy Alderson, Phil Jackson, and Jerry Reece you could have had a run of 5 straight years of campaigning for firing the worst GM in New York. Most Jets fans don't like Fireman Ed or are completely indifferent to him. You should have known this. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
