I actually met this dude in Aruba about 12 years ago, we had a few beers, shot the sh@# and took some pics together (with my Dolphins gear and his Jets stuff on), he's pretty mellow and was actually a real nice guy, not to mention he had a hot-ass girlgriend about 15 years younger then him. After the stuff JT has talked about him and the Jets, I don't fault him as a true fan of saying what he said.

he's annoying to me

dolphaholic, how did it come up in conversation that he was fireman ed? did he mention it? pretty funny conversation I bet

I have talked to him as well when I ran my Fins website back in the day.

Little known fact, in his HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK picture, Fireman Ed is wearing a Miami Dolphins sweatshirt.

nooooooo.

I recognized him from TV and asked if it was him. I wanna say he told me he's in the Hall of Fame in some fan section, also said him and some of the other well known fans keep in contact (Raiders goon with the spikes and stuff was one that I remember him telling me about specifically) and host each other on away games. Remember him saying that they both assured each other their safety if they came to each others stadium. Honestly he may look like a tool on TV but he was pretty cool in person.

not sure how you could tell who he was....all jets fans look the same to me : )

I have an uncanny knack for retaining useless sh@# in my head

It's not useless, it's colorful. BTW, I met the Geico Man at Bike week last month in Daytona. Did anybody know that he's the son of Art Carney of The Honeymooners?

I though the geico man was a computer generated lizard. what were you smoking during bike week and can i get some?

No, no, not the reptile,, his boss, the grey haired guy. He's a motorcycle enthusiast and a Dolphins fan so,, we're right on topic.

Thats Art Carneys kid? wow never knew that, has he acted in other things?

He said he did some other commercials and had a singing career until he blew out his vocal chords. Art passed away about 6 years ago.

That's not a surprise that Art's son was a singer, as Art himself was both a singer and musician in his own right.

Lot of interesting info on this thread yeah Fireman ed is someone I love to hate, but doesn't mean I hate him personally.. In fact I'm glad he's around, someone for me to laugh at when the Dolphins woop the Jets this year.

he gave a good interview on WQAM the other day. Said nice things about the Fins too.
