Fireman Ed insists something has been amiss lately at MetLife Stadium at Jets games.
The Jets superfan, whose real name is Ed Anzalone, took to Instagram on Tuesday to allege that his screen time on the video boards at MetLife Stadium had been decreasing and fellow Jets fans were taking notice of it.
“I’ve been getting a lot of emails and texts from fans about the Jet experience in the stadium with the big screens,” Anzalone began in the video. “Last night in particular — although on the Denver game also — last night in particular [the Jets] scored a touchdown and normally as a tradition we’re always put on the screen.”
Anzalone noted how the stadium would also put the superfans on the screen to get the crowd going while the Jets were on defense.
That’s when Fireman Ed expressed that “something was going on” with the production team at the stadium and that they seemed to be showing him less and less.
“I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but they’re phasing us out,” he said. “I’d like to know if somebody knows anything, please let me know, because it’s evident that it’s happening. And it needs to stop because we need home-field advantage. That’s what we have and we need to keep it going. Something is going on, so please let me know if you know something.”
The Jets did not immediately respond to The Post when sought for comment.
Anzalone has been one of the most prominent Jets fans over the years with his trademark Jets fireman hat while leading the famous “J-E-T-S” chant during home games at MetLife Stadium.
He was first put on the video board at Giants Stadium, the team’s previous home, back in 1986 and remained a fixture up until 2012, when he renounced his fandom during the infamous butt fumble game on Thanksgiving night.
Anzalone returned to the Fireman Ed persona in 2015 and has remained ever since.
He has such a large place in Jets fandom that he was brought onto “The Pat McAfee Show” last week to react to the news that Robert Saleh had been fired as the Jets coach.
