Soccer fanatic and Fox News host Brian Kilmeade has helped launched a semi-professional team on Long Island — with it nicknamed the “Fighting Tomcats” in a nod to the “Top Gun” F-14 built locally. Kilmeade, 61, and his brother Jim, 63 — both former local college soccer players — are spearheading the group. “We want to put Long Island, New York metro players back on top again as the epicenter of American soccer — about 90% of the team is local,” said Jim, a longtime front-office sports executive, to The Post on Monday.
