"How bout dem Cowboys?"

Well well, besides being a front running Cowboys fan, we are now learning that by palling around with Cowboy's owner, Jerry Jones, Chris Christie might also be a crook.

Just look at that picture. Now we know why there was a minor earthquake in the Dallas area, today. I am sure that they were just tremors being felt from that little owner's box get together.

This guy (Christie) grew up in New Jersey; is the governor of the state; and he calls himself a big (pun intended) Cowboys fan. That is both sick and pathetic. And it goes to show you what kind of character the man has. Everyone and their mama knows that if you are from North Jersey you are a Giants fan, and if you are from South Jersey you are an Eagles fan. It's that simple. You don't get to choose your team if you grew up in a state with a team or one like New Jersey. Show me one football fan who grew up in the state of Wisconsin but cheers for da Bears over the Packers.  Never going to happen.

Not only is Chris Christie turning his back on his hometown teams, but he was caught trashing the fans of one of them as well.

"In a conversation witnessed by this reporter, Mr. Christie recounted his sometimes tense evening with Mr. Jones three weeks ago in the owner’s box during a game between the Cowboys and the Eagles.

“He was beside himself during the game,” Mr. Christie said of Mr. Jones. He quoted Mr. Jones as asking the governor in a nail-biting moment during the game, “What do you think? What do you think?”

 

“I think we are fine,” Mr. Christie, an avowed Cowboys fan, said he replied.

 

“When they went ahead,” Mr. Christie said of the Eagles, “it was a very stressful time in the box. Let me tell you.”

 

The Cowboys won, and Mr. Christie was invited back for the next game.

 

Still, that matchup left a searing impression on Mr. Christie. Eagles fans, many of whom can be found in the southern part of Mr. Christie’s state, raged against the governor during the game, shouting unprintable words at him in the owner’s box.

 

“These Philadelphia fans, they are the worst in America,” Mr. Christie was overheard saying recently.

 

He recalled a different kind of reception when he joined Mr. Jones on the field at a Cowboys game against the New York Giants, who play their home games in New Jersey. “I didn’t get booed,” he said. “Giant fans waved, said hello, asked for autographs, didn’t give me a hard time.”

 

“But these guys?” he added of Eagles fans."

 

 I have never been prouder to be an Eagles fan.   

 

Poetic justice would be Chris Christie getting nailed for getting favors from his new found friend in return for that billion dollar hook up in New York City.

"A new report alleges New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie advocated for one of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ business interests to land a deal with the Port Authority.

Legends Hospitality LLC, which is owned in part by the Cowboys, was granted a contract to run the observation deck at Manhattan’s One World Trade Center in 2013.

Legends Hospitality runs concessions at Dallas’ AT&T Stadium as well as the home of the New York Yankees, who also own a stake in the company.

A report in the International Business Times said Christie “personally pushed” for the deal to go through.

However, Yankees president Randy Levine — a Legends board member — told the Wall Street Journal that neither Christie nor Jones were involved in the bidding process.
“To try and tie one to the other is silly,” Levine said.

According to an April 2013 press release, both New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Christie called on the Port Authority Board of Commissioners to approve the agreement. The board went on to approve the deal.

A potential presidential candidate in 2016, Christie has come under fire for attending Cowboys games in Jones’ owners box. Some heat has come from fans who would prefer the leader of the Garden State root for a team closer to home. Others wonder whether Christie — a Dallas fan since childhood — is walking a fine line when it comes to ethics rules in New Jersey." [Source]

Yes, but Andrew Cuomo isn't being flown all over the country in Jerry's private jet, nor is he taking all expense paid trips to NFL playoff games.

I suspect that Chris Christie will survive this latest look into his less than ethical stewardship of the state of New Jersey. That's kind of how it goes in this country. The rich and powerful break the laws but always find ways to get away with it because of rich and powerful friends who control the process.

This of course is in contrast to his Cowboys, who will be going down really soon.
