Dear Gov. Robert Bentley,

If asked to name your favorite sports team, do NOT follow the lead of this Republican governor.

Politico reports on this comment from Chris Christie: "My favorite football team is not the New York Giants. It’s not the New York Jets. And it’s not the Philadelphia Eagles. No, get ready now. My favorite football team are the Dallas Cowboys.”

Did we mention Christie is the governor of New Jersey. That would be like the governor of Alabama saying his favorite team was Notre Dame.
