Maximus, Esq. : 8/31/2014 12:37 am
Comical in so many ways.
Wow - ( New Window )

Figured we could all use a laugh. I'm sure the board will get some good mileage out of this.
Holy Christmas...

An ex-Wall Streeter who runs a Hurricane Sandy relief nonprofit called Guyon Rescue and has appeared on the reality show “Millionaire Matchmaker,” Tabacco said he aims to follow in the footsteps of “Fireman Ed” ­Anzalone, who retired as chant leader in 2012 after a devastating Jets loss. He’ll even sit on a friend’s shoulders while whipping up the crowd, like his predecessor.

No way this is real. No fucking way.
Look at the passion of the Jest fans  
Shecky : 8/31/2014 3:37 am : link
A whopping 3,000 votes for this silly contest...

Tabacco — a self-described “social- media freak” — smoked the competition by recruiting friends to vote for him. He was the top vote-getter among the 3,000 ballots cast since the polls opened last Wednesday, the team said.

Jets fans need someone to tell them how to spell JETS every week.
Kudos to them...

you always want to avoid a controversy going into the regular season.
Not to change the point...  
LarmerTJR : 8/31/2014 6:49 am : link
But I have actually met this guy. His work running Guyon Rescue has been nothing short of amazing. Now the idea of being an elected "cheerleader" is absurd, maybe some added attention to the work these guys have done on Staten Island, and to the work that still needs to be done, is needed, can't hurt. If you guys have a chance, please look up the cause and organization he runs before we go and label this good and selfless man a complete loon. thanks.

Great job, Jets. Needed to get that done.

Booming voice and a good speller. Make fun of that organization all you want, but this time they got it right.

SanFranGiantsFan : 8/31/2014 8:47 am : link
This is farcical.
Goes along with what I experianced at the G/J preseason game  
BillT : 8/31/2014 8:55 am : link
The whole Jets production was cheesy and that's from my wife who knows nothing about the Jets in general. And the PA announcer is a joke. You can't even undstand him and the cheerleading on 1st downs was embarrassing.
The Post updated the article as originally published  
Maximus, Esq. : 8/31/2014 9:05 am : link
Now they are saying this guy is only one of 8 fans to lead the chant. He won the first game vs Raiders. So, I guess he really isn't the Fireman Ed replacement. I'm pretty sure this was not in the original article as published. In any event, still absurd. Here is a link to videos of the 8 "winners" now linked to the article.
Unreal - ( New Window )
So apparently the selection criteria is pretty rigorous

You must own a hat of some sort, and it helps if it's oversized and can protect you in the event of an emergency.
great

now the new Jet chant leader is mark wahlberg
Noooooo

Won the thread

Seriously, though, what the hell is wrong with the Jets? They're well past the earth's crust now and are halfway through the mantle - how low can they go? How could a reasonable human being keep supporting such an embarrassing organization?
You know what they say:

a football doesn't count as a floatation device. If you are near water you really should be wearing a life preserver instead of a reflective safety vest. Think of the exalted position you have been entrusted with and use your new found powers wisely. Impressionable children will be watching your every move and will imitate you down to the last detail.

Ah, the good ol Jets chant  
Giantology : 8/31/2014 12:24 pm : link
My uncle (RIP) taught me to always add in a well timed "SUCK!" at the end of the chant.

When I lived in AZ, I was at a Giants-Cardinals game. For whatever reason, there was a Jets fan there with a Chrebet jersey on. In between plays when they showed the scores on a screen, the Jets were up big and it prompted him to do the chant. I of course chimed in and the guy immediately looked all around, demanding to know who said that, while my family giggled at him.
Holy shit,  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/31/2014 12:26 pm : link
someone put this franchise out of their misery already. At least ship them off to LA. It's embarrassing for the Giants to have to be in the same town as these losers.

Could you imagine the other 21 fans who lost the vote? Who was runner up? Accountant Bob? This guy looks like he spent 5 minutes coming up with his custom.
Many year's ago Derek's late dad John, was my little league coach

John was a decorated NYC Policeman. The Tabacco's are a good family. We all grew up together on the Lower East Side. Give this guy some slack.
Good family or not,

acting like that in your 40s is lame at best and weird at worst.
