Following the Cowboys and Blogging The Boys

by Dave Halprin on Jul 12, 2009 2:00 AM CDT

A couple of more weeks to go and football is back in action. The ordinary fan may consider the opening weekend in September as the start, but the hardcore know that once training camp gets here, it's all guns blazing. We're getting closer.

But, since we are still in the dead zone, I thought I'd update everybody on some stuff.

BTB has joined the social network craze. I'm not sure if you guys know it or not but we have a Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/BloggingTheBoys. We're working on plans to do more with the page so if you have a Facebook account, go ‘friend' us at the BTB page.

We also got a Twitter page, doesn't everybody? You can follow us on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/BloggingtheBoys. We got a pretty good number of people following us over there but I'd always like to add more. So jump over and follow us. If you have your own Twitter account you can ‘Retweet' our posts by hitting that button at the bottom of most posts. Feel free to retweet anytime. Yes, I know, I'm embarrassed to have used the words twitter and retweet so many times in this paragraph. Am I even speaking English anymore?

Below each post is a Digg button. We'd love to get our stories posted on Digg more often. So if you like a post, or even if you don't and just want to help us out, post us on Digg then vote for our stories.

I see that a few people have already received their copy of the MSP Cowboys Annual. I hope you guys are enjoying it. If you have any positive reviews to share with others, feel free to post them. If you have a negative review, save it until the magazine is no longer on sale! You can still order the magazine before they hit newsstands in a week or so.

Also, just wanted to mention BTB can be found on the Yahoo Sports Cowboys page and the CBS Sports Cowboys page.

Don't forget, we also have an RSS feed. Look in the top part of the left-hand column to get the feed.

We'll be steering the blog more and more toward training camp over the next week. Stay tuned to BTB. We're about to hit the fun part of the year. Thanks for your support.

Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig loves it.

Used to be a multisource patron

but I just couldn’t go to those uncontrolled free-for-all sites anymore. You guys replaced the website I was logging onto 10 times a day because you really are Cowboys fans, and so are your patrons. I love it here. However, I have a Facebook account, (haven’t figured out if I’ll ever find any old friends there), and I actually did log onto BTB the other day from CBSSportsline.com. Anybody else notice on CBSSportsline.com that the Cowboys blow away every other team in total number of patrons? So much for Pittsburgh, or Green Bay, or New England, or any other pretender as America’s Team. BSPN knows it too, they just had to try and disprove it. Poor losers. BSPN can just kiss my butt.

Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.

That's funny

I used to watch ESPN constantly, almost to the point fo being obnoxious. “The kitchen’s on fire? Be there in a minute. I just gotta see this segment on the NBA playoffs”. Now you’ll hardly find it on in my house. They just became obnoxiously tabloid-ish. If I want to know about Gisele’s Baby Daddy, I can go to People Magazine or watch E!. I like sports, not all the peripheral gossip and innuendo.

hahaha, very well said dunk, ESPN managed to

alienate many many people. I was the same, I would watch sportcenter religiously so after 40 min and million commercials, somebody would mention the cowboys, but with BTB who needs anything else. Plus, all the info comes out immediately, not like DC.com where A) there is nobody to write about it or B)we have to check the official company line first and C)we update the site only once every 3 days. phewwww

I used to go to DC.Com, but this site provides just as frequent updates, much more interesting commentary, and game day breakdowns that are vastly superior

very happy with

The mobile posting, I continually follow BTB through my blackberry, and I just read for the most part, but sometimes when I feel the need to post I would have to go to my dektop and login. Now I can just hit post a comment, love the feature thanks grizz and btb staff!

On another note (not trying to jack the thread) GD88 what do u think of ufc100, I loved the extra punch henderson landed on bisping.

just joined BTB 2 days ago, been reading this site for the last 4 years and thought it was about time to participate. I really love the site for all the news and views provided by all. I also want to thank Grizz for all the hard work in keeping this site going
and being the best place to find all your COWBOYS needs.
