Dallas Stars, Dallas Cowboys fight on Twitter; Tony Romo a casualty
Whether it was accidental or not, the Dallas Cowboys tweeted that that age-old anti-hockey chestnut: "Nobody cares."
The Dallas Stars took notice and struck backquickly and decisively.
Here's what happened. Josh Ellis, a writer for the Cowboys, tweeted about baseball on Monday morning. A bit later, on the Cowboys' official Twitter, appeared this (screencap via @dallasStars):
Now, given the corporate, sanitized nature of team-official Twitter feeds, this almost certainly was unintentional. Most official accounts are run by someone who has other ones, too often, personal so mistakes happen (Tweet Deck giveth and Tweet Deck taketh away). So, the easy bet is that this was a Cowboys employee who doesn't like hockey and didn't realize (s)he was posting to the official account.
And that does appear to be the casedigital media director Derek Eagleton posted the same thing to his personal account on Monday morning, though that's since been deleted (via @levnaginsky, @bmitchelf).
In any case, the Stars scored a TKO on Tuesday morning.
The Cowboys' No. 9 is Tony Romo, who has a history of melting down in big games. Example A: Week 17 against the Washington Redskins with a playoff berth on the line. The Stars' No. 9 is Mike Modano, who did not have a history of melting down in big games. Example A: 1999, when he captained them to the Stanley Cup.
