humm …are people really saying Christie cant be a Cowboys fan
Steve Adubato “Life-long Dallas Cowboys fan, Governor Chris Christie says Jerry Jones is a personal friend and there’s no problem being in his luxury box for the last few Cowboys “wins” or flying on his private jet. Some of Christie’s critics see it differently. In a 12/22 exclusive live interview with the Governor which aired on NJTV, Thirteen WNET New York, WHYY, Verizon FiOS1 – New Jersey, 77 WABC and WBGO Jazz 88.3, I ask the Governor about the whole “Cowboys/Jerry Jones” subject. “
Christie friendship with Jerry Jones began after Cowboys won Port Authority bid, spokesman says
TRENTON — A spokesman for Gov. Chris Christie said today that the governor and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones were not friends during the bid procurement process for the observatory of the Port Authority’s One World Trade Center site, a bid that ultimately went to Legends Hospitality, a company partly owned by Jones’ Dallas Cowboys.
“The friendship began in the summer of 2013,” said spokesman Kevin Roberts, adding that “whether they had met in 2010 or 2011 in a passing way, I can’t account for that.”
The Dallas Cowboys, in partnership with the New York Yankees and investment fund Checketts Partners, all have a stake in Legends Hospitality, which won out in bidding to operate the observatory of the Port Authority controlled One World Trade Center when it opens later this year.
Typical phony politician.
Loser democrats still trying to make something out of nothing.
Sorry, but he’s wrong on this one. Get the feeling he’s more interested in the Southern presidential vote than what’s going on in NJ these days.

It was the governor who seems to have violated his own rules.
did yo think our Mayor and Council were the only one who could break there own rules ??
as for this desperate attempt to “get Christie” , time would be better spent working on budget and pension issues as well as tax and regulatory reform and job creation for NJ
Kind of worried about a 52 year old man that travels to see a pro football team…..
Christie’s temper has already rendered him unelectable….if he takes the bait from hecklers at Town Meetings what’s he going to be like on the campaign trail….?
ever heard of the Super Bowl ?
It says the contract was awarded through a bid process. I’m sure it would be very easy to see what the other bids were and if Legends had the best bid everyone could go back to doing whatever they do when they are not worrying about someone going to a football game.
If our local sports teams did a better job then maybe he would have been a fan of them.
In the eyes of the democrats and the liberal press everything he does is wrong. ( we never saw this sort of bs press coverage of Corzine, mcgreevey, and florio since they were left wing dumbocrats)
