New Jersey Governor On Nets Moving: “I Don’t Give A S**t” [Video]

OK, so he didn’t say that publicly. But you can damn well be sure that’s what he tells his friends. What he actually thinks is probably a completely different matter.

If the Nets were Burger King, he would be blocking this move with all of his girth. But he’s a Mets fan, so he’s used to losing. And naturally he has to act like a tough guy doing it.

It’s a little surprising that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (nice parents, by the way) took it this far. In a video posted to his YouTube page, he speaks of New Jersey like it’s South Beach:

“I’m not going to be in the business of begging people to stay here. That’s one of the most beautiful arenas in America that they’ve had a chance to play in. It’s in one of the country’s most vibrant cities.”

Really, Chris? Vibrant isn’t necessarily the word I’d use to describe to Jersey unless I was talking about the boob job industry.
