JustEndTheSuffering Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I probably only interacted with him a few times on JN and never met him but from everything I’ve read here he was a great guy.

Lmfao!! When I first met him (in front of Bahia cabana) he had an old suitcase (the kind you carry with no wheels) and a cooler. He’s like “you want a beer” sure. Busch beer lol blech I chugged it so fast I didn’t taste it. It was either Busch or bud. he did like glenlivet 12 year old though. 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we should: 1. Pin this for the entire football season, so Savage is in our hearts all season long 2. Figure out some way to keep Savage's memory alive. We should throw out ideas: The Savage Curtis Martin Poster Award - this poster wins the award for compiling posts. None of them any good. Just 4 yards at a time. I am sure we can come up with something better than that. But let's create a yearly award or honor is his name. @Savage69 is a hero, those who aren't hear yet need to know about him. Also BP if you are comfortable with it, can you share this thread with his family? This way they know how much he meant to us? Thank You. A champagne glass with Savage69 and a JN logo etched in. But where would we put it? I'll ask around for some blonde volunteers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sirlancemehlot Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 Just saw this. What a gut punch. Savage is one of the original OG Jets board posters here and at the "other" place back in the day. If there's a Ring of Honor for posters, Savage deserves a banner. RIP, man. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard King Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 On 9/21/2021 at 1:17 PM, NIGHT STALKER said: John Savage and I met decades ago...when the internet first got started. We belonged to a forum called the Green House which is now long gone. John only had one jersey because he refused to invest in players that would be gone in a flash. So, he had a jersey made up with his name...SAVAGE and with typical John Savage humor, the number 69. We met several times over the years whether in Jersey or in Miami. He bled green through and through. I could tell you stories of John from his younger years that would blow you away...when he was in this twenties, he owned a night club in NYC and the things he would tell me about those times would have you shaking your head...lol. I rarely post anymore...just a sign of old age I guess and I leave it to you younger guys to battle it out. RIP John...save a place for me in that stadium in the sky along with other Jet fans that have passed on. The pic attached is from a Green House tailgate about 21 years go. That's Savage with the white beard... Man if that’s not an old time die hard tailgate photo I don’t know what is. Got the the shirts tucked in, the white jean shorts, ankle socks and quintessentially the best touch, the personal dumpster, Thank you for sharing this story. RIP. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BP Posted September 24, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 I just got this text from John’s niece Kelley “Hi Jim. I meant to text Wednesday but it’s been a hectic couple of days. I want to thank you for letting everyone on the Jets board know about Uncle John. I spent a lot of time throughout the day on Tuesday and Wednesday reading and rereading all of the heartfelt comments. I was really touched and I’m glad to know Uncle John had so many friends that shared his greatest love with him. Thank you again for finding us and posting on the board. I’d like to thank everyone on the board for their condolences if it’s possible for you to get the word out to them. Thank you again Jim. I hope the shoulder is healing well” 4 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJ1 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 My most deepest and heartfelt condolences to Savages family. I didn't always see eye to eye with Savage but I think we came to always respect each other for our beliefs. My words can't truly reflect how bad I feel about Savages passing.

He was a genetic freak. I was just telling him back in may how there’s a huge difference physically between late 40’s early 50’s to mid 50’s. He told me he was great until his late 60’s lol he said wait until you get into your 70’s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jetswin Posted September 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2021 I just saw this thread Savage was an American badass and one of my favorite posters ever. I also remember him from Matt's Greenhouse (first internet site I ever visited) and if I recall correctly was serving along with Hermanator (Night Stalker) in Viet Nam when the Jets won in '69. In a ridiculous coincidence I was just telling a story about to some HS friends about his time at the Salem Inn in Port Washington as someone stumbled upon an old picture of the place. His stories from there were fantastic. I always respected Savage and he I, even though we were diametrically opposed in our opinions of Curtis. This is very sad news, and a loss for the Jet fan community. RIP my friend. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports-Journalism101 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 As a new member of the JetsNation forums and an aspiring journalist, I am wondering whether there's any way I (or others) can assist in preserving the memories of the Jets faithful like Savage 69, may he rest in peace. It seems to me that when you think about our collective memory as fans, we are increasingly approaching a time when those who were old enough to remember the Jets golden years are in their golden years. If we don't do something to preserve their accounts we may irrevocably lose part of the community. I may not be the person to lead this, but we really should do a historical preservation mission of interviewing some of our oldest fans so that those memories are not lost forever. NFL archival footage only records what happened on the field, not the tailgate. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
