Fireman Ed’s hiatus is over: Super fan returns to rally Jets

The prodigal son returned to MetLife Stadium. And so did Darrelle Revis.

Ed Anzalone, the one-time Jets super fan known as “Fireman Ed,” was back leading the “J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets,” chants after a three-year hiatus. Anzalone stop attending games in 2012 — after Mark Sanchez’s infamous Buttfumble game — amid claims he was being harassed and threatened by other fans. But now he’s back.

“The Jets reached out to me and asked me to help out with this,” the 55-year-old Queens native told Metro. “Of course I want to, I want to help this team. I love this team and I love this chant, it’s the best chant in all of professional sports.
