Fireman Ed has an influential backer in his plight with the Jets group.
Final week, the well-known Jets fan — whose actual identify is Ed Anzalone — claimed that he’s getting “phased out” of getting proven on the MetLife Stadium video board by the staff.
As no subjects are out of bounds on Aaron Rodgers’ weekly appearances on “The Pat McAfee Present,” this was a state of affairs that they wanted to unravel.
“What’s up? You don’t like Fireman Ed anymore? What’s occurring?” McAfee requested Rodgers.
“I like Fireman Ed. I don’t know,” Rodgers stated.
At this level, McAfee producer Ty Schmit launched into an impression of Fireman Ed saying that the “Jets try to section me out.”
Rodgers hinted that this can be a state of affairs that will probably be ameliorated.
“We’ll see on Halloween. After we’re again residence, we’ll see,” Rodgers stated, seeming to indicate that Fireman Ed’s longstanding spot on the video board will probably be restored.
Schmit returned to his impression, saying that he’s the best factor to occur to the franchise within the final 20 years and the staff doesn’t recognize him.
“I do [appreciate him],” Rodgers stated. “I wish to see him again up there.”
Rodgers stated he’s heard in regards to the controversy however didn’t “discover” the obvious omission occurring in the course of the video games at MetLife Stadium.
The Jets quarterback analogized the state of affairs to “the time the place they tried to section out the bikini ladies” on the scoreboard in Inexperienced Bay, and there was fan revolt.
“There was a giant backlash,” Rodgers laughed.
In a video on Instagram final week, Fireman Ed was adamant that one thing was occurring within the Jets’ in-stadium manufacturing the place he wasn’t being proven as a lot in huge moments.
“I don’t know precisely what’s occurring, however they’re phasing us out,” he stated. “I’d prefer to know if any person is aware of something, please let me know, as a result of it’s evident that it’s occurring. And it must cease as a result of we want home-field benefit. That’s what we now have and we have to maintain it going.
One thing is occurring, so please let me know if you understand one thing.”
