Re: What Was The Reason Gov. Christie Hugged Cowboy Owner Jerry Jones After Dallas Wi

I don't know. The number of fans of "America's team" and the number of electoral votes in Texas may have been considered but, then again, he may just like to hug rich dudes and get on TV. ;)
 
Re: What Was The Reason Gov. Christie Hugged Cowboy Owner Jerry Jones After Dallas Wi

because his host was ecstatic at the come-back victory
what did i win?
 
Re: What Was The Reason Gov. Christie Hugged Cowboy Owner Jerry Jones After Dallas Wi

He has always been a Cowboys fan.

They just announced legalization of same sex marriages in Texas?

Couldn't care less.

Seriously. I'd imagine this would be a potential reaction of any fan in the owners box after their franchises first playoff victory in 5 years and second in a nearly 2 decade span.

Nothing nefarious about it (other than it being the Cowboys ;))
 
Re: What Was The Reason Gov. Christie Hugged Cowboy Owner Jerry Jones After Dallas Wi

This really ranks low on the list of things we should be discussing.
 
Re: What Was The Reason Gov. Christie Hugged Cowboy Owner Jerry Jones After Dallas Wi

I think it's because he got tired of being reminded that he hugged the incompetent guy in the White House, ticking off the insanely partisan on the right, so he decided to hug an incompetent football owner just to tick off those on the insanely partisan left. Christie is an equal opportunity ticker-offer.
 
Re: What Was The Reason Gov. Christie Hugged Cowboy Owner Jerry Jones After Dallas Wi

Maybe he thinks Jerry Jones is hot. I know I do. When he's standing on his money anyway.
 
Re: What Was The Reason Gov. Christie Hugged Cowboy Owner Jerry Jones After Dallas Wi

Maybe they've got a bromance going.

You left out "Because I'm trying to start a thread where we can bash Christie and this is the only news story about him recently, so I'm going to post it in hopes that we can get in some good Christie bashing."
 
Re: What Was The Reason Gov. Christie Hugged Cowboy Owner Jerry Jones After Dallas Wi

Christie is in the closet. Can't believe that's not an option.

He's a long time Dallas fan? He also gushes over Bruce Springsteen who is rabidly liberal.

Chris Christie is just being authentic in this situation.

Bruce Springsteen fans can't be Cowboys fans?

I love Springsteen (I grew up in NJ) but hate the Cowboys.

Yes, apparently Christie is a lifelong Cowboys fan which is odd considering most self-respecting NJ natives would not only be Cowboys fans, they wouldn't admit to such a malfeasance publicly. Especially in Giants territory.

Or perhaps especially in Giants (or Eagles) territory.

He has been a Cowboys fan since boyhood.

Says who? I've only heard of his Cowboys fan love recently.

His brother tweeted it out the next day.

I was thinking "steer's and queers," but I didn't wanna go there.

So he's been a lifelong cowboys fan since his brother tweeter about it a few days ago? :lol: Don't hurt yourself, Jack.

Here you go. Note the documentation back at least as far as 2010, and the consistent claim of fandom since boyhood.

Chris Christie Is a Dallas Cowboys Fan, Awkward Side ...

2 days ago - New Jersey governor Chris Christie is a lifelong Cowboys fan — which has not won him plaudits in his home state, or elsewhere.

Christie has acknowledged previously that his athletic allegiances can create political problems. As he told the Newark-based Star-Ledger in 2010:
Listen, I grew up in the early 1970s and became a huge Roger Staubach fan and a Cowboys fan. . . . Believe me, it doesn’t get me anything political around here because the Giants fans hate me, the Eagles fans hate me, it doesn’t matter. But you grow up rooting for a team. That’s just the way it works. . . .
I always hated Hillary Clinton wearing a Cubs hat or a Yankees hat. I’m a Cowboys fan, I’m a Mets fan, I’m a Rangers fan, I’m a Knicks fan.

Well good, now we've established he claimed to be a Cowboys fan in 2010. That is still far away from lifelong. Do you have any articles from say the 90s? Maybe pictures of Christie in the 90s with a Cowboys jersey?

I think the point is made. He's quoted in 2010, before any of this was controversial, saying he had been a Cowboys fan since the 1970's. Moreover, it's a statement against interest. There's no advantage to a New Jersey pol in announcing his Cowboys fandom. The case is made. Thanks for playing.
