There’s something to be said for giving somebody attention when they’re clearly seeking it rather than just ignore it. I get that. But there’s no bigger horse’s ass than the current governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie. He’s a self-proclaimed Dallas Cowboys fan and has been his whole life. And during a co-hosting appearance on WFAN in New York this morning, he felt the need to once again shit all over the people he represents.
“I understand why people are interested if you are a public figure, as to who you root for,” Christie said on WFAN on Wednesday. “They’re interested. But the hostility, I will tell you that I take for being a Cowboys fan — and this is what I say to Giants fans all the time, and Eagles fans. Now Eagles fans I understand it from a little more because the Eagles do suck and they’ve sucked for a long time. And their fans are generally angry, awful people.”
“If they want to take some anger out at me, I’m all—I have no problem with it at all,” Christie said of Eagles fans on 94WIP in 2014. “They’re passionate, wild fans and they wanna get angry with me, that’s OK. But the one thing they can’t say, is that I don’t tell them the truth. And the truth is, I’m a Cowboys fan. I’ve said it since I’ve ran for Governor in ’09, never hid it from anybody, and so, I don’t understand why they’re angry about me being happy about my team winning?”

In the middle of Christie’s tangent, Craig Carton said he agreed with Christie’s assessment that Eagles fans are generally awful, angry people. Craig Carton has worked in Philadelphia, so if you don’t think he’s not pandering to his New York audience, you’re naive.
In case you’ve forgotten about Christie’s infamous fall at the WIP studios, we’ve got you covered.
