    New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is excited for the Super Bowl to be coming to his home state next February. He would just like to remind everyone -- including the NFL apparently -- that Super Bowl XLVIII is not in New York.

    In an interview with NFL Media's Melissa Stark that will air fully on NFL Network's "GameDay First" on Sunday, Christie took issue with the very name of the New York Jets and New York Giants.

    "Yeah, well, because they practice in New Jersey, they play in New Jersey; most of their players live in New Jersey," Christie said. "There's nothing left from New York about the Giants or the Jets, except for the name. It's kinda odd that they're called what they're called. But, you know as long as everyone understands that they are New Jersey's teams and that the Super Bowl this year is in New Jersey, not New York, then I'm fine."

    As someone that lived in New York City for a decade, I can't really disagree with Christie. The Jets and Giants have long histories tied to New York.

    Oh my God, who cares? No one outside of New York understands or even cares about the whole New York vs New Jersey thing anyways.

    the teams may play and live in New Jersey but I know that gut on the Gov. came from eating in NY. As [MENTION=1821]Tarkus[/MENTION] said, who cares..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBODY
