You know my dad was a first responders for the FDNY hey was there at the trade center when it went down and at the recovery of it to he also worked on the trade center as well
The song is not comparing Jeter to a firefighter. It's about New York and all the people there. Name of song says it all. "Empire State of Mind". Duh!
IMO, I love this commercial, because I think it tears the Yankees apart. Why do I think this? Well you see Jeter hit a homerun, and he's all happy, then he drives by and sees a guy who was risking his life during the game, and wasn't even aware.
@Legostudiosplus They both have different jobs. Don't bash Jeter or the Yankees because they were doing theirs. Playing pro baseball is a tough job. 40,000 people watching you in the stands and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, watching you on TV is a lot to live up to.
@galenct rebuilt as in let me use and example that relates to baseball. the phillies are an ok team now but were can rebuild them into being a better team now. and the Yankees are in the commercial so thats why i mentioned it and i know what happened on 9/11.
look at jeters face when he drives by the firemen hes confused to how someone has that kind of courage. jeter is a man of class and would never put him self infront of new yorks finest
Don't like the Yankees, but have lots of respect for Jeter. His eyes say it all. Respect and reverence for the first responders, trying to see the men who put themselves into danger as he drives on.
this commercial is kinda cheesy. its just New Yorkers patting each other on the back on how good they think they are. there are firefighters in other cities too. and what the hell does derek jeter have to do with it? nothing against jeter (hes a great ball player) but what is he doing the commercial?

If someone were to become a ff to look coll, think about this: my dad dies on the inside because he couldnt revive a baby, he blames himeself, is that worth looking cool?
@arkangel43711 im not trying to offend but im pretty sure your dad doesnt compare himself to other people like others.i searched ff videos and i saw one tat compared ff s to people like me and i got pissed
the name of the song is empire state of mind by jay-z. and jeter is the best baseball player ever so if you dont agree and you think the yankees suck you can go suck a big nut you faggets but if you like the yankees your awesome
@bassblazer96 I don't blame you for missing it, it's very subtle. If you look closely at Jeter's expression when he sees the firefighters, it is almost shameful. I think they put Derek Jeter in to show that he is recognized and famous for playing a game while firefighters, police officers, etc. risk their lives on a day to day basis and get little to no recognition for their actions.
I think that the other reason and more important reason is to show that a big famous baseball player can still be put to shame by some of New York's finest who risk their lives to save others. Whether its Paid or Volunteer its the same risk.
@F1REF1GHTEREMT so people only become firefighters to be compared to other people?i dont think firefighters do that. maybe there are some who become firefighters just so they can look badass. and to me, it doesnt look like jeter is put to shame because he is a hero to me.its not his fault he actually has talent and didnt become a firefighter. and he does risk alot...he risks getting hit by a 90 mph fastball every time he is at bat hahaha.so stop trying to look cool by becoming a ff
@isaacjeremy2@isaacjeremy2 You ignorant trash, if you were in a burning building about to die and a Firefighter rescued your ass, I am sure you'd think alot differently about firefighters. He isn't risking anything because hes not gonna die from a ball, why he wears a helmet. Soldiers and firefighters do alot more for this country than any god damn baseball player. Firefighters and our military personel have something better than talent and that is Honor, Courage and Committment. Fuck yourself.
@TrueUSMarine woah woah woah. you over did it there.i dont recall saying "Firefighters arent heros they are pointless",did i?i was telling my mom the other day that i think fire fighters are true heros. we actuallly need firefighters. i look at all these other youtube vids and it seems like they are getting compared to regular people too.jeter is a hero to me and i look up to him.if you are a true hero you wouldnt brag about it. and if your such a hero you wouldnt be telling a teen ager to fuck
@isaacjeremy2 Anyone who says firefighters become firefighters to look badass or cool is just an ignorant judgemental piece of trash plain and simple. Yes, let's risk our lives just to look cool, some of them even die, I guess they die just to look cool huh? How about you stop trying to look cool by degrading people who become firefighters you fag.
@TrueUSMarine Settle down Marine...I understand what this kid meant by it and he means no harm. I just got out of the Marines not too long ago and used to be pretty hard headed and would take things out of context sometimes. Take a deep breath and reread what he has to say. I have since become a firefighter and I'm not gonna lie,I originally wanted to be a firefighter cause it looked cool and bad ass,and you know what,it is cool and badass,I love the job for what I do, not how I look doing it.
@isaacjeremy2 You are a fucking shit stick and a dumb mother fucker. When I became a firefighter I didnt do it to be bad ass. I did it because I love helping people. Thats all. I even do it as a volunteer which means I get no pay for what I do. Jeter is a symbol of baseball just like Babe Ruth but that guy gets paid millions to play fucking baseball. something I would also do for free. He doesn't risk shit. Next time you need a firefighter call Derek Jeter to come help your ignorant ass.
@F1REF1GHTEREMT for the record. New York's Finest is the NYPD. FDNY is New York's Bravest. a few more NYC agencies have slogans that are similar. such as Corrections is New York's Boldest and EMS is New York's Best and Sanitation is New York's Strongest.
@F1REF1GHTEREMT You're not saying though Jeter thinks he is more important though right? Obviously a firefighter who runs into buildings is more important. However, if you were a player wouldn't you want to make as much as you could? I have a few friends who are firefighters. One is a huge Yankee fan and loves Jeter. I wouldn't say they are putting him to shame. Why should he be ashamed? He chose his profession and does it well. As did firefighters. I respect firefighters 100% .
@F1REF1GHTEREMT Why does someone always have to be put to shame before someone else can be appreciated? How about you appreciate firefighters, and not be a massive tool to everyone else, both at the same time?
DJ is in the commercial because FX is a Fox Network and they're promoting Fox Baseball as well as Rescue Me. I thought the same thing: "WTF does DJ have to do with Rescue Me", but then I figured it out.
yeah its true..
