It's no secret that New Jersey's governor and potential future presidential candidate Chris Christie is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan — something that might irritate the citizens of the state in which he governs over. It's something he's not ashamed of and really, didn't care how other fans thought, as he told Mary-Ann Spoto of the Newark-Star Ledger this week.
“I am a Dallas Cowboys fan. I know that that disturbs Eagles fans, Giants fans, Jets fans and probably fans of almost every other team in the NFL,” Christie said today at an unrelated press conference in Beach Haven, where he was asked about his upcoming schedule.
As part of a fundraising trip for the Republican National Committee, Christie and his family will head down to Arlington this weekend to see his favorite team since he was seven years old take on the New York Giants at AT&T Stadium. Even though the Giants are the team that plays in the same state in which he is in charge of, that didn't change his loyalties in life and on Sunday night, it won't change when he's in attendance for the game.
“Maybe some other people can be disloyal, but I can't. I'm for loyalty and I root for the Cowboys. And … when I am there on Sunday night, I will root for the Cowboys,” he said.

BFD.
What a loser, so rich and powerful, yet so inadequate in the field he chose to assert himself in.
Its no secret that Chris Christie is huge.
And stupid.
Much like certain working animals.
Wish he’d declare as a em, it suits him better.
Does it even take a high school diploma to become a journalist or sportswriter these days? And have they no editors?
When the Cowboys play the Redskins I root for a meteor strike.
Chris Christie is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan
Truth in reporting
Chris Christie is a huge!
When the Jets followed them..it got even worse for a while..the idea that two major pro teams could call one state home, yet have another state in their name...especially now since the corporate offices of both teams are in NJ.
NJ has long had an identity crisis..some have said that the only reason for the state to exist is that they needed some placed to put the other end of the GW Bridge.
...he was a Jets fan,..guess he sees the writing on the wall.
If your a fair weather fan,your not a fan.
Christie is a huge everything.
As a Giant fan, I am glad he is a Dallas fan,they can have him.
Sorry about that!
Yes, NJ and Jerseyeans do have an identity problem, lol. It’s what makes the state so funny for NY comedians.
I am a Giants fan too and I live in Fort Worth.
Sure hope we beat the Cowboys and make Christie miserable.
Pandering politicians are not pretty.
“Chris Christie is a huge ...” Who wants to finish the sentence?
Still doesn’t change the fact that he’z a big chunky, loudmouth, boistrous, obnoxious, smart@$$ yankee...that happens to be a freakin politician.
In my book...that puts’em around a whopping F— .
I never begrudge anyone their choice of sports teams; to each his own. My older son is a Raiders fan since he was about nine years old and loved their eye-patch pirate logo. But I do rag on him about their recent record...
