I'm outraged. I want Obama to fire him immediately over this.

...Matter of fact, does either Kerry have any oversight over Heinz? If not, then I could easily be mistaken about them not being guests thing.

Christie has at least a potential conflict here, though. He really ought to go to the ethics panel for advise, before they come looking for him. They'll just offer him advise that way, instead of investigating him.

These were all questions that were asked (screeched about) by people when Chris Christie was in the Dallas Cowboys owners box.
John Kerry is married to an owner(minority owner), his wife is worth 1.2 billion, and her family is worth about 8 billion to 20 billion. Im surprised no one has mentioned this yet.

And what are their official names? Something to do with New York I believe.

In fact, this is precisely why Bob McDonnell is going to jail as well as, I assume, some past New Jersey governors.
Do you really believe the hipe from the Dems and MSNBC, because if they had anything on Christie it would be out in the public. Just like the bridge BS, they have nothing on Christie and when he runs for President this will be their mantra. Bridgegate and Cowboysgate. In the meantime Christie will pull apart Clinton for everything she's was directly involved with, ie: Bengazhi. Hillary will be going down like a cheap street walker. Oh I forgot, that was the other Clinton, who didn't have sex, but did have sex, who claimed he didn't have sex.

Over this? No, Over his inability to get actual results while doing his job? Yes.

I didn't hear the outrage about Christie. I did hear a few fat jokes though about him in the box

No...over this. I want him fired over this and this alone.

In fact, anyone that's ever sat in an owner's box and wasn't the owner should be fired from his/her job immediately.

New Jersey does NOT have team of it's own.

The Giants and Jets are both NJ teams.

The team plays its home games in East Rutherford, New Jersey at MetLife Stadium, which it shares with the New York Jets in a unique arrangement. The Giants hold their summer training camp at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center at the Meadowlands Sports Complex.

New York Giants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The only NFL team in New York is the Buffalo Bills.
