On Wednesday, a fellow governor — and potential 2016 presidential rival — tweaked Christie for it.
In a tweet posted Wednesday, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a Green Bay Packers fan, poked fun at Christie.

Christie and Walker did in fact share a real embrace of their own last year when Christie was campaigning for Walker’s re-election.
The Green Bay Packers face the Cowboys this Sunday in an NFL playoff game.
Regarding the New Jersey governor’s relationship with Jerry Jones, a spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday that they two began their friendship during the summer of 2013.
