New Jersey governor Chris Christie has landed himself in hot water after he was caught enthusiastically celebrating a victory for the Dallas Cowboys. Christie was filmed hugging Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones and his son Stephen in a garish orange sweater after Dallas defeated Detroit Lions in a match yesterday. A native of New Jersey, Christie follows the Cowboys despite his team having a long-standing rivalry with the New York Giants in his own state as they play in the same NFL conference every year. He also cheers for the Cowboys ahead of his state's other NFL team, the New York Jets, and the Philadelphia Eagles, who are popular in south Jersey and also divisional rivals of the Cowboys.

Win or lose, they are always my ‘boys.............................

He’s the governor of the State where the Giants play, but he roots for the Cowboys. That’s just wrong.

Thanks for your reply. Was that the segment where he stated he would also do a “love fest” type thing in the owner’s box, if the Mets win a playoff game? Being a Mets fan, it was almost a consolation prize, that they haven’t made the playoffs since 2006 !

Yeah for GB packers!

Anyone can be a Cowboys fan. They are "America's Team".

They were America's Team before I was born; they'll be America's Team after I'm dead.

Odds are they will loose. A close victory in the playoffs is a death nell the next week

An undefeated home team hosting undefeated road team in the playoffs has only happened 3 times in the past 100 years, and the last time was over 40 years ago.

I don't think the odds mean much in this game.

If Peyton Manning's retarded brother can win two Super Bowls, Tony Romo can sure win one.
