Jets Superfan Fireman Ed Comes Out Of Retirement For Game Vs. Browns (Video)

After nearly three full years, it appears Fireman Ed finally has gotten over the “butt fumble.”

The New York Jets superfan, known to normal people as Ed Anzalone, used to be a staple at home games, leading Jets fans in the classic “J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS!” chant. Anzalone announced he was stepping out of his role during the 2012 season, shortly after Mark Sanchez’s infamous fumble against the New England Patriots.

But it looks like Fireman Ed is back in business.

Sure enough, Ed did his thing with the help of two more superfans as the Jets kicked off Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns.

Lol Fireman Ed returns back to his fan base. You can't be a super fan and ditch your team for a year.

I see Fireman Ed is back… Remembering how the Pats made him quit on the Jets is still laugh out loud funny
