Related: About this forumAlright, who did Jerry Jones bribe?
This is awful.
BTW, Jim Nance said that Chris Christie grew up being a huge Cowboys fan. Is he and Madinmaryland closely related?

Just substitute Madinmaryland for Chris Christie and Ohio for New Jersey or Pennsylvania in this story and you have it.
Recently Ed Rendell, a former two-term Pennsylvania governor who also served as mayor of Philadelphia, appeared on a local radio show and called Christie pathetic for being a fan of the Dallas Cowboys.
How can a Jersey guy be a Cowboys fan? Its pathetic, said Rendell, a die-hard fans of the Philadelphia Eagles, who meet the Cowboys on Sunday in an NFC East showdown.
Asked by the radio host if its legal to be governor of New Jersey and a Cowboys fan, Rendell replied: Its legal but it indicates a basic inferiority complex. If you are a Jerseyite or a Pennsylvanian and youre rooting for the Cowboys, it means youre not secure in yourself and you wanted to root for a team that was a team in your youth that was a constant winner.
Christie, who grew up rooting for legendary Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, has been a long-time fan of Americas Team. My father was a Giants fan and I used to remember watching him when I was eight, nine years old and every Sunday he would watch the Giants and yell at the TV set. I used to think to myself why would I want to root for a team that makes you angry? Christie said.
