Philly Councilman Rips 'Fat' Christie For Rooting On Cowboys
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Philadelphia Councilman Jim Kenney is either really passionate about his Eagles or simply a sore loser.
Maybe it's both.
Kenney unleashed an all-time Twitter tirade on Sunday night after New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was spotted rooting on the Dallas Cowboys in team owner Jerry Jones' box. Dallas beat the Eagles 38-27 in Philly for the top spot in the NFC East.
Kenney didn't take very well to the exposure given to Christie -- a lifelong Cowboys fan who many expect to make a run at the White House in 2016 -- on national television:
Chris Christie is sitting on his very fat ass next to Jerry Jones in his box at the Linc. You suck! Kissing Texas ass for 2016! Awful!

Donny Jones just flipped you the bird Christie! Go home. Take the state helicopter. Creep!

Kenney's comments came days after former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell -- also a Democrat -- said during a radio interview that the Republican's choice in NFL teams "indicates a basic inferiority complex."
"How can a Jersey guy be a Cowboys fan? It's pathetic," Rendell said.
Politics and rooting interests aside, there's something great about watching an awkward high-five. https://t.co/GS3R0vAMDe
