"They're phasing us out"- NY Jets legend

[Heelmatic]

Ed Anzalone, more commonly known as "Fireman Ed," said Tuesday night on social media that the Jets were limiting his screen time on the videoboards at MetLife Stadium during home games.

"I don't know exactly what's going on, but they're phasing us out," Anzalone said in a video posted to his Instagram account. "I'd like to know if somebody knows anything, please let me know, because it's evident that it's happening, and it needs to stop because we need home-field advantage."

A decades-long staple at Jets home games, Anzalone is best known for his trademark firefighter helmet and his role in fueling the fans' famous "J-E-T-S" chant. He said he noticed the lack of screen time during the Jets' Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos and Monday's loss to the Buffalo Bills.

"Last night in particular -- although on the Denver game also -- last night in particular, we scored a touchdown and normally as a tradition we're always put on the screen," Anzalone said, referring to himself and two other Jets superfans. "[We] do the Jet chant to get the crowd going, which is a staple in JetLife Stadium."

Anzalone noted that he also traditionally incites the crowd when the Jets are on defense, which he added was "the most important," before saying that "something was going on" with the organization's production team that oversees the videoboards.

"Something is going on, so please let me know if you know something," Anzalone said.

Thought the same thing lol, like he was talking about how runningbacks are being phased out in today's NFL or something. Instead, it's just this Fireman Ed assclown.

This is the level of cringe people have for all you people that say "we" referring to sports teams.

Beli said he liked him on MNF and then shytted on the owner. They might ban him from games just for spite.
