Oops: Dallas Cowboys official Twitter account ribs Dallas Stars

The Stars threw a punch right back. The Cowboys have since said the tweet was "posted accidentally."

What started as seemingly innocuous Tweet by the Dallas Cowboys’ official Twitter account about the NHL got a little heated — and quite funny — Tuesday morning on the popular social networking site.

The original Tweet (which was made from @DallasCowboys and has since been deleted), read:

@DallasCowboys Similarly in the category of nobody-cares…the NHL is back!

The Dallas Stars official Twitter account (@DallasStars) didn’t seem to find that particularly funny and took at shot at the Cowboys:

The Tweet included a photo of Mike Modano hoisting the Stanley Cup. Modano wore No. 9 for the Stars on the team’s 1999 Stanley Cup Championship team. The Cowboys’ No. 9, QB Tony Romo, has been with the team for 10 seasons and has never won a championship.

The Cowboys account has since apologized for the Tweet, and the Stars account has accepted the apology. Those two tweets are embedded below.
