New Jersey elected a much different kind of governor in November than the last man to occupy the big office in Trenton, so perhaps not surprisingly, Phil Murphy is a much different kind of sports fan, too.
"I will not be hugging Jerry Jones," Murphy said with a laugh during his first all-sports interview as governor. "I can’t give up the allegiances I grew up with, given where I was born and where I grew up, but you won’t see me at a Rutgers game rooting for somebody else. Let’s put it that way."
Those are two not-so-thinly veiled jabs at Chris Christie, the man Murphy replaced when he was inaugurated last month.
