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? It’s 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 it’s legal to be governor of New Jersey and a Cowboys fan, Rendell replied: “It’s legal but it indicates a basic inferiority complex. If you are a Jerseyite or a Pennsylvanian and you’re rooting for the Cowboys, it means you’re 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 America’s 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.
