Fireman Ed: 'I Can Handle' New England Crowd

NEW YORK (WFAN) -- Outspoken Jets super-fan "Fireman Ed" Anzalone joined Boomer & Carton on Wednesday morning to pump up New York fans leading into this weekend's playoff game against the New England Patriots.

On head coach Rex Ryan's bold talk toward the Patriots:

"As long as you can back it up, it's great," said Anzalone. "If you can't back it up, well then you've gotta shut your mouth."

On Tom Brady's on-field antics that promped Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie to call the quarterback an "a------":

"He gets it done, so you know what? That's the bottom line," Anzalone said.

How will he deal with the testy crowd in New England?

"Wherever you go on the road, listen, you're gonna get it, so that's the way it works," said Fireman Ed. "I'm a big boy, I can handle it."
