Just when you thought he was off the radar,Watch Lost Bullet Online Chris Christie is back making new friends.

Just kidding.

Christie -- who is still governor of New Jersey after a brief stint playing Reek on the new American reality show Trump of Thrones -- was a Wednesday night guest on SportsNet New York. He was his usual charming self.

Here's what Christie had to say about the Philadelphia Phillies and their fans when asked about the team using the slogan "Ya gotta believe," which actually has roots with the New York Mets.

The Phillies suck. Let's just start with that, OK? They're from Philadelphia, they're an awful team, they're an angry, bitter fan base and it's not safe for civilized people to go to Citizens Bank Park if you want to root for the other team. Ya gotta believe what? Ya gotta believe we're awful people. That's what ya gotta believe.

Governor Christie with the flaming hot take! The guy should be a sports blogger.

Really, however, he just set himself for this scathing reply from the Phillies on Twitter.

That tweet is, of course, referring to "Bridgegate," the scandal that not so long ago engulfed Christie's office.

The Phillies' snappy comeback was warmly received by the Twitter peanut gallery.
