First Obama now the Cowgirls. What a band wagon fan.

Let the man cheer for the football team he so desires.

Saw the clip on TV this morning.

Looked like the tubby waterboy trying to give the quarterback a kiss.

I can think of a couple better, and far more important, reasons why Christie should be in trouble with voters.

[willywill]

you mean he’s not one of those phony politicians who say they’ve been a fan of the team where they are currently campaigning and then proceed to pronounce all the names wrong?

[yetidog]

Hanging with J. Jones may have its own liabilities as well.

[Blackyce]

If I were him, I’d tell them I’d happily cheer for the Giants/Jets whenever one of them starts calling themselves the New Jersey Giants or the New Jersey Jets.

Texas is a big state. A lot of votes there.

[defconw]

Yeah, who cares? A lot of people like the same team all their lives. My one BIL grew up when the Steelers were in their hay-day. He still likes them. He's never been within a 1000 miles of Pittsburgh.

[CAluvdubya]

Christie is trolling for dough from Jerry Jones....

“Let the man cheer for the football team he so desires.”

I’m with you on this. Absurd that the governor because he’s an elected official in a specific geographic area (a state that doesn’t even have a football team, incidentally!) has to cheer for the ‘local’ team.

There are no local teams in the NFL. Has no one noticed? The coaches and players are interchangeable, depending on how much $ they are offered elsewhere after the initial contract expires (sometimes before).

He’s picked a football team, great. Has he decided which political team he’s going to play for?

[csvset]

All those fat guys hugging one another. Where are Jerry’s hooker babes at ?

[NotSoFreeStater]

“Let the man cheer for the football team he so desires.”

Agree. I get enough crap from people in this area(especially my wife)as to “why can’t you just be a Ravens fan?” No thanks.

[RetSignman]

Texas is a big state. A lot of votes there.
+++++
Great job of thinking outside the box.

[Swanks]

He’s picking up the Michigan electoral votes too. [sarc]

[isthisnickcool]

That video is pretty gay.

[Toespi]

Can’t say I love CC. BUT, it didn’t look to me like he gave a damn what people thought of his support for the Cowboys, which is refreshing in itself. How does his choice of a favorite NFL team conflict with his job performance as governor?
