Sports fans were rocked by the news that Jets super fan “Fireman Ed” had retired citing……something or other. I couldn’t be bothered to really read about it. It’s not like Lou Gehrig’s retirement speech. For those of you outside of New York or with lives, Fireman Ed was some old sourpuss in a fireman’s hat who led the J-E-T-S JETSJETSJETS! chant at Giants stadium, the home of the Superbowl Champion Giants (oh yeah, and the Jets also). He recently announced he was stepping down from his super fan position, quite possibly the first recorded instance of this sort of thing ever happening, because it’s just too stupid for words really.
So with the void left by the “retirement” from a voluntary and non-existent job of being an overenthusiastic sports fan, tens of bored Jets fans cast their thoughts on the question – who will be the next “super fan” to lead the Jets?
Ladies and Gentlemen, wonder no more! I give you……………………………CAPTAIN JET (No, really):
There’s a lot to process here folks, so I made a helpful guide for you:
….yeah, I know, I know. I’m not even gonna make a further comment on this guy, except to note that he at least gives it his awful all.
Here’s a poseur spotted at that same game that needs to take a few lessons and up his act:
Pretty sad really for both of these guys. They pale in comparison to the coolest football fans evah……the denizens of the Oakland Raiders “Black Hole”
So…..when does baseball season start again?

Captain Jet reminds me of Dyanmo from the Running Man!

He said in an a newspaper interview that he based his character on Dom Deluise’s character in Cannonball Run, whose name escapes me at the moment.

I think Keyes included a pick of Dom in character here: https://bmj2k.com/2012/08/27/1984-previewed-by-rad-gnarly/
