Mr Ed

I have always been fascinated with Ed Anzalone, also known as Fireman Ed. Since 1986, he has been a fixture at New York Jets games, leading the fans in the J-E-T-S chant. He retired from the FDNY back in 2007.

He has made a second career of being the team's mascot. Television networks always show him leading the chant during the game.

I recently saw an ad in the New York Post that promoted his personal appearance at a bar during the recent road game against the Oakland Raiders. The New York City bar was telling fans to "watch the game with Fireman Ed". They also advertised $4 beers and chicken wing specials.

I wonder if he got paid. I assume he did. He has a great gig going for himself.
