Via The Other Paper:
Not even one game has been played since Fireman Ed hung up his hat as the New York Jets unofficial mascot and The New York Post is presuming that fans are longing to find someone else to lead the home crowd with his famous "J-E-T-S!" cheer.
In this Sunday's edition, the newspaper has nominated four other potential Jetsies to fire up the crowd at games in MetLife Stadium.
Fireman Ed, who stomped out of the stadium before halftime of the Jets pitiful 49-19 loss to the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving Day, announced last Sunday that he will no longer attend games as the beloved — and apparently contentious — character he's been for years — or what seemed like decades.
Jets fans would probably prefer the 4-7 Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez put on some makeup and a hat to lead the cheers from the stands but The Post has narrowed it down to these uberfans as the top contenders and described them as thus:
"A motley crew of superfans who wear their devotion to Gang Green painted on their sleeves, bellies and faces."
For those of you who thought that Tim Tebow already landed the job in the second half of the Thanksgiving Day massacre — shame.

After another bad performance by quarterback Mark Sanchez, MetLife Stadium overflowed with “boos” and “Tim Tebow” chants. But around the NFL, other coaches are starting the best QB to win. San Francisco coach, Jim Harbaugh, made the bold decision to start Colin Kaepernick over starter Alex Smith. The Jacksonville Jaguars have broken their losing streak by starting Chad...

We just mentioned that Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports has indicated that New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan is leaning towards starting Greg McElroy at quarterback next week.
One of the most interesting things about La Canfora’s report is that the Jets don’t consider Tim Tebow to be a starting candidate.
This is confirmation that all Tebow is, is a gimmick to the Jets organization...

After throwing three interceptions on 21 attempts with zero touchdowns and a fan base that has totally come down on him, the Jets finally pulled Mark Sanchez in favor of second year QB Greg McElroy. And in the very short time McElroy was given to prove himself running the Jets offense, the young QB out [...]

Mark Sanchez has been replaced as Jets quarterback by third-stringer Greg McElroy in the third quarter after another miserable performance by the New York starter.

Third-stringer Greg McElroy stepped in for a struggling Mark Sanchez and energized the New York Jets to a 7-6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

Rex Ryan finally figured out what everyone else in the world already knew — if you bench Mark Sanchez, the Jets will win. And win they did.
Granted, the Jets’ 7-6 victory came over the lowly Cardinals — led by overwhelmed rookie Ryan Lindley — but at this point, a win is a win. The Jets were trailing 3-0 midway through the third quarter when Ryan made the change from Sanchez...

Perhaps the most memorable derp of the Mark Sanchez era in New York has been immortalized in jersey form, as it should be. It is important to not to let history pass us by. Unlikely though it may seem, there may a day in the distant future when the Jets stumble upon a respectable quarterback. It would truly be a shame if at that time the world, or even Jets fans, could be allowed...

Apparently this is what Tim Tebow gets for minding his own business. The New York Jets backup quarterback has done and said all the right things this season, but that hasn’t shielded him from heavy criticism. Several anonymous Jets players ripped Tebow a few weeks ago and it turned into the biggest media circus of the 2012 season. Now, it would appear that the Denver Broncos want...

I’m loving New York Jets fans this season. They haven’t given up on this team, they just continue to get more passionate. This “Buttfumble” jersey was spotted in the crowd during yesterday’s victory over the Cardinals in which Mark “Buttfumble” Sanchez was benched in favor of Greg McElroy. McElroy threw the winning touchdown pass in the 4th quarter giving his Jets...

The New York Jets (5-7) beat the Arizona Cardinals (4-8) 7-6, today at MetLife Stadium from East Rutherford, NJ.
This was the most unwatchable game, and yet the Jets won the football game over the Cardinals in a ugly fashion way.
Mark Sanchez had the worse game of his entire football career. He wasn't going to survive this game in way shape or form.
In the third quarter...
