Chris Christie Is Driving Everybody Crazy With This Cowboys Thing
Well, Chris Christie really means it when he says he’s a Cowboys fan. Here he is Sunday, celebrating the team’s playoff victory with owner Jerry Jones:

That generated a fair amount of, er, comment on social media:
Chris Christie, you had better make plans to be in Green Bay, Wisconsin next weekend. You are needed.

After watching disgusting call by #NFL officials call with 8:30 left in 4th quarter it got worse when I saw NJ Gov Christie (aka Fat Albert)

Christie is unreal. Fortunately, in PA, our governors retain dignity by calling their favorite teams "we" on postgame TV shows. #Eagles

Say what you will, but you know in your heart Chris Christie hugs are probably very wonderful. Be vulnerable for once in your life.

Chris Christie rooting for the Cowboys from Jerry Jones' box in a rigged game is the perfect metaphor for America

Former Michigan GOP chairman: MT @sanuzis Just watched Christie cheer for Dallas Cowboys on last touchdown…he's OUT as a possible nominee.

At this point, Christie is considered a good luck charm for the Cowboys – the team is 4-0 when he is in attendance, according to the Dallas Morning News. And he expects to keep on attending the team’s playoff games. The Cowboys next play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
“This is really exciting stuff,” Christie told the Dallas Morning News following Sunday’s game. “We’ve had a few tough years behind us with the end of the season coming too quick, so for a Cowboys fan this is great stuff. I can’t wait until next week.”
