Ah, Meany my friend,

You are just jealous because you don’t look as good as me in lycra.

And, even though I got shafted by espn.com, I applaud Ira for his fanhood.

Captain Jet– take Firemen Ed and your hard hats and use your sky miles to buy a one-way ticket and fly away.

Why didn’t they write an article about me?! This is an outrage.

I never met Ira–but I know his voice and now I know what he looks like. He’s too nice a man to be trying to fool us. My heart tells me his love for the Jets is sincere.

Ira, I’ve got your back. No one knows the purity of your passion. Inexplicable as it may be to some folks in this age of cynicism–you have an unconditional love for your team. You bleed green.

On the other hand Fireman Ed is all about the other kind of green. He’s a cheap hustler and con man with his tired mug and J-E-T-S act. He shilled for the west side stadium, gotten t-shirt money from Modell’s, asks to be paid for his appearances and thinks he’s a celebrity. It’s all about his ego and his wallet. Bet he doesn’t have to pay for PSLs and will show up whenever he can get the most exposure.

It’s a damn shame that this phony creep is the face of the Jets–and not a guy like Ira, who, if anything, is too much of a Jets fan.

Ira is the most beloved Jets fan. While I may not always agree with him, he knows his stuff. If you listen to him, you will always learn something! Does he have a problem with objectivity. Well, yes. But, no matter what, the guy is supportive of his team and you gotta love that.

Ira is nothing like Fireman Ed. Ed is a clown who makes believe he cares about the Jets but only cares about himself and being famous. (agreed with your Fireman Ed story last week) Ira goes to every freakin game, home or away. And while he might always look at the glass half full he is a real fan.
