12/23/19 in New Jersey (NFL Edition)

Alternate headline: Chris Christie to New Jersey Giants and Eagles fans: Drop Dead.

Beloved former governor Chris Christie likes the Dallas Cowboys:

There wasn’t much reason to hug this time. But Gov. Chris Christie on Sunday sat once again in the private box of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, as the Cowboys rolled into Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field to face the Eagles. Of course, despite hailing from New Jersey, and governing it for eight years, Christie is a lifelong, unabashed Cowboys fan. And he’s friends with Jones, often taking in games with the team’s owner.

It's true. The New Jersey native loves the Cowboys and wasn't afraid to let New Jersey know about it. Of course here in New Jersey we like the Giants or the Eagles, both Cowboys' division rivals.* For European readers, it's like finding out your Prime Minister is a huge fan of Brazil's Futball team. Jerry Jones is thought by most to be evil incarnate.**

That's based. Christie was always this blunt when he was governor. We loved him for it. 

As it happens the Cowboys played the Eagles last night. Thankfully the Eagles won 17-9, a great game and win. If the Eagles take care of business next week against our own Giants, they'll win the division. Mrs. Stroock was on a plane to Indiana last night and while she had WiFi  the NFL ap was glitchy. We relayed scores to her. It was fun.

*We won't count the Jets. Decent people do not associate with their fan base.
**We really don't have a problem with the man.
