Chris Christie throwing fit in Wisconsin.

[Elwood P Dowd]

Top right in red sweater. Jerry Jones to the left.

Edit: For those who are not NFL Football fans, this was after the officials reversed a 4th down call that basically caused Christie's Dallas Cowboys to lose 26-21 to the Green Bay Packers. Christie's team, owned by Texas mega-billionaire Jerry Jones lost to the Packers, a team owned by the citizens of Wisconsin and not some asshole repuke billionaire.

1. Not sure there's any franchise in sport I despise more than the Cowboys.

Might as well name that team "the Assassins," given all that the city has "contributed" to the body politic...

[nilesobek]

2. This image combined with the ones last week in Dallas are just too good to be true.

[malaise]

3. Delish

I hope someone is photographing the tantrum when Fishman rules

[cwydro]

4. That little girl

looks delighted lol!

[mountain grammy]

39. The only happy face, what a cute kid.

[freeplessinseattle]

5. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

Supersized!

[drynberg]

6. Christie...handmaiden to JJ, is shown here outraged by a correct review of a almost great play...

Priceless.

[Enthusiast]

7. Replay showed conclusively that it was an incomplete pass.

Fuck you, Christie.

[Mosby]

24. the receiver caught the ball

I'm not a big fan of either team.

I would not be surprised if during the off season the rule in question gets modified.

[Wounded Bear]

25. They may look at the rule, but no, he didn't catch it...

I never thought it was a catch. On replay, one view clearly shows that the ball bounced into the air after contact with the ground. The player clearly did not have control of the ball completely through the landing. Thus, no catch. The initial call was wrong, not the replay.

[LibertyLover]

30. The ball clearly hit the ground

came out of the runner's hands and squirts up into the air before he grabs it again. There were no obvious football moves after the catch that would have demonstrated control. The little bit of stretching he did was not enough to demonstrate control. The ruling on the field was correctly reversed.

[mmonk]

8. I'm glad some sort of official made him mad.

I'm a Green Bay Packer owner from NC. I didn't get flown in and sit in a suite in Lambeau. But he is the one who squirmed.

9. being from Michigan and survivor of life long Lions futility

this photo brings me great joy.

[butterfly77]

11. From Michigan too..

Me and my friends enjoyed this immensly

[countryjake]

37. A Lion's roar echoed across the country when that call was reversed!

[underpants]

10. I thought Bryant caught the ball

FORMER Cowboys fan here ( because of Jerrah). I thought he caught it.

[Frank Cannon]

17. The ball popped out when he hit the ground.

It doesn't matter if he re-caught it. Those are the NFL rules.

[underpants]

18. Yeah I know

It's a really dumb rule but it is the rule. The ground can't cause a fumble but it can cause and incompletion. The ball can hit the ground during the catch as long as it is still in possession. The fact that it never hit the ground makes no difference in this case.

They still could have gotten the ball back if they had stopped the opposing one legged QB but they couldn't do that.

[Wounded Bear]

26. But the ball clearly did hit the ground...

and bounced out of his grasp. The fact that he recovered control of it later is irrelevant.

[underpants]

27. Not arguing but I didn't see it that way

But it doesn't matter now. I'm glad the Packers won.

[pnwmom]

32. The slo-mo replays from more than one angle showed it hit the ground,

according to those who called it.

[underpants]

42. I really didn't understand the play call either

4th and 2 - Why a jump ball? On the sideline where all kinds of other issues come into play.

[rogerashton]

33. I thought as you did, but

that's the thing. Either the ground causes an incompletion or it causes a fumble. Generally -- though not in this case -- a fumble is a bigger game-changer than an incompletion. So the rule as it now is makes the outcome less dependent on the referees than it was when the ground could cause a fumble. Thinking it through that way changed my mind.

As for Dallas, sauce for the goose ....

[uponit7771]

23. His elbow hit the ground first, he was down... after that... doesn't matter what happened

[plcdude]

38. yes you have found

the inconsistency with the rule. If he is down he is down and the play is over since the ground can't cause a fumble if the runner is down can it cause and incomplete pass - evidently it can but it is a rule that violates other rules.

[oberliner]

12. Of all the things to get on Christie for

This seems like one of the least significant.

[Jackpine Radical]

28. I take it as indicative of his character and personality.

Regardless of the cause, he is once again showing his true nature.

[edhopper]

34. Except he is in Jerry Jones' box

and last week Jones flew him to Dallas for the game.

And Christie help Jones get a lucrative deal from the NY/NJ Port Authority.

So it is significant.

His team losing is just gravy.

[Logical]

40. Chris, is that you? Nt

[oberliner]

41. What do you mean?

I'm saying it seems like there are a lot of things to give Chris Christie a hard time about (specifically in relation to what he has done as governor) mores than this football nonsense.

[belzabubba333]

13. the little girl (lower center) must be a packers fan

[randome]

22. Or a mannequin.

[AwakeAtLast]

14. Awwww, he needs a hug.

[pathansen]

15. I have seen him lose his cool and throw fits before

Quite embarrassing for Repubs if he gets elected.

[IDemo]

16. Wouldn't a few orange barrels in front of the Cowboy's end zone have worked?

Just askin'.

[randome]

21. Ha! Good one!

[11 Bravo]

19. I didn't need any more reasons to despise the Cowboys, but ...

Christie is as good as any.

[dilby]

20. Is he behind the buffet portion of the box seats?

Someone should photoshop him shoving food into his mouth because that is what he looks like he is doing.

[Gothmog]

29. Thank you for posting

[Blue Owl]

31. Teddy Bridgewater now his favorite QB

n/t

[alarimer]

35. The only reason I'm glad Green Bay won is because it made Christie unhappy.

As a Vikings fan (sigh!) I HATE the Packers more than anyone else. I sincerely hope they lose.

I only rooted (half-heartedly) for the Cowboys because my boyfriend is a fan.

[countryjake]

36. Go Seahawks!
