First I would like to apologize for no post last week, but that damn 49′er game really gave the old ticker a workout. It took me a couple of weeks to recover. 
Have you guys noticed how social media has turned boring events ie the grammy’s into must see events? Tweet streams of boring events is your tech equivalent of watching it at a bar with everyone shouting snarky comments.
Well that same scenario is playing out on boring sporting events. I’ll be honest had it not been for Twitter i would of turned off the Cowboys MNF game. It was boooring and the only thing that made it tolerable was reading some insane tweets from the diehard Cowboys fans.

That is the headline if all you had to go on was twitter. And if we know anything about the #cowboys fans over the era of Tony Romo its this, they love the Cowboys when they win, they hate TONY ROMO when they lose. Twitter is no different really except you get to see the wide range of emotions #cowboys fans go through in real time. Its kinda like what i think it would be in the mind of a schizophrenic. We live and die with every play our emotions run from happy to pissed in lighting speed and we’ll talk crap back to anyone who criticizes Romo, after all “That’s my quarterback” and only we can trash talk Romo. Love him or hate him at least he’s not Quincy Carter. #CHECKYOSELF
Welcome to my little corner of Dallas Pro Sports. I’d like to thank Daniel once again for allowing me to contribute to his awesome site. I wrote a column or two last year but writing really isn’t my “matt forte”.
I’m a tech/social media kinda guy. So when Daniel asked if i wanted to contribute this year I told him YES. But I’m going to write about the Dallas Cowboys from the social media angle.

The Dallas Cowboys Are #1 Team on Social Media? Uh… #DUH!! #WINNING!!

I’ve noticed several mainstream cowboys blogs of late that are more about access, “look at us hanging with Marty B” than writing anything critical of the Boys. I’ll let you figure out who I’m talkin’ about. The only access I need is a television, preferably an HD one, carrying the cowboy game. Seriously, access is so overrated. I’ve been in enough pro sports locker rooms to know that it’s all cliche talk. And quite honestly none of these guys are Rhodes scholars, which is why they always just say “we just take it one game at a time”. Yeah, I know its a tough concept for you to have an opinion about something further in you life than a week.
