Where I commonly write about sports, in an uncommon way.

New York, New York

Issue: Can I write an entire post about something other than sports?

Short Answer: Probably...not.

Reasoning: Well, because this is a sports blog.  Duh.  However, my buddy Tore (short for Salvatore - yes, he is Italian.  Really Italian.), just got back from a memorable enough trip to New York City, that I wanted to tell everyone about it.

Tore is a Jets fan (I know, right?), and his girlfriend Stephanie has a bunch of guy friends who are also Jets fans (seriously).  So, a few months ago they were discussing travelling somewhere to catch a Jets game (yes, I think it's a waste of money too, but let's humor them).  The group of couples decided on a home game at the new Meadowlands, against the Miami Dolphins, on December 19th.  The day before the game, however, Tore had a big surprise.  In front of the Rockefeller Tree, Tore proposed to Stephanie.  And (luckily) she said yes.  A big congratulations to both Tore and Stephanie - they will be a great couple.

Now, with the sappy stuff out of the way, the real reason for this post.  While at the Jets game, Tore took a video on his iPhone of Fireman Ed doing the "J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets!" cheer.  You might want to check out the scoreboard for a glimpse of Fireman Ed, but the audio is the best part anyway.  Tore, and everyone he was with, may or may not have had a few cocktails before the game.  Watch it all the way through, as the end of the video explains it all.  Aside from one expletive at the end, the video is safe for work.  Check it out:



That was pretty f**kin' awesome.
