Tom Crabtree: Man of the People

Tom Crabtree: social media winner.

Imagine a small group gathering at a local watering hole on a Saturday night. This group of  people who have (or may not have) ever met before all share a few common interests: they are Packers fans who are on Twitter and wanted to hang out for a bit talking football, life, or whatever topics come up the night before the Donald Driver Softball Game. That and probably have an adult beverage or two just for good measure.

Now imagine you are part of this group sitting in the Fox Harbor Pub and Grill in Green Bay last night. The beer is flowing much the same as the conversation around the table is. You turn your head for a second, and when you refocus your attention, a world champion has joined your gathering.

That is exactly what happened last night, as Tom Crabtree had made his way down to the Fox Harbor and joined the tweet up already in progress.

Already a fan favorite because of his interaction with the fans, last night solidified his position as possibly the most fan friendly Packer. From interviews with the media to interviews with bloggers and Q & As with Wisconsin media to creating book clubs to stay interactive with fans to twitter accessibility Crabtree has seemingly perfected the art of social media without controversy, and for that we are all grateful.

Well done Tom, and thank you.

If you still need further explanation, Crabtree is a WWE fan. And The Rock is the People's Champ.

But it's DO you smell, not CAN you smell...

Confession: I am not a WWE fan, and as such had absolutely no clue what you were talking about. Thank you for clearing it up, since "Can you smell what The Crab is cooking?" just sounds wrong
