Get Your Cowboy-Loving Ass Out of Here

There is finally something that I can wholeheartedly agree with Ed Rendell about, even though Rendell is not from Jersey and therefore knows nothing about anything.

Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said Gov. Chris Christie’s unapologetic love for the Dallas Cowboys is “pathetic,” adding that it’s rooted in 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,” the Philadelphia Eagles fan said Thursday on a radio show.

I knew kids who rooted for the Cowboys while we were growing up in Jersey. We viewed them as pathetic “winner-pickers” and held them in contempt.
