Chris Christie's Brother Todd Rips Eagles Fans

By Andrew Porter

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is the number one trending topic on Twitter, after once again, celebrating a Dallas Cowboys victory in owner Jerry Jones' suite.

Christie continues to receive a ton of backlash from people around the area---mostly Eagles and Giants fans---for his public support of the rival Cowboys.

Todd Christie took to Facebook and defended his brother, calling the Eagles a "sorry (expletive) team."

"To all of those non Cowboy fans who have their panties in a ringer because the Governor of NJ is a Cowboys fan—GET A LIFE !!! The Gov has been a Cowboys fan for his entire life and ALL of you would sit with the owner of your favorite team in a heartbeat if given the chance," Todd Christie wrote. "I'm a Giants fan—we are sitting home for the fourth straight year. Eagles fans—possibly you should worry more about the fact that your sorry ass team has never won a Super Bowl and less about who's rooting for which team. I mean crazy pathetic posts. And for every calorically challenged FB person who posts about the Gov's weight–forget the magic mirror and look at yourself. Weight posts—really?"

The Cowboys continue their playoff run on Sunday in Green Bay against the Packers. You can expect to see Christie, the Cowboys' sudden "good luck charm," in attendance.
