Brandon Weeden doesn't have time for Twitter haters.
The newly-minted starting quarterback for the Cowboys has a self-imposed Twitter ban so he doesn't have to deal with the unnecessary criticism and nonsense from the outside world.

"I do a good job of blocking everything out," Weeden said, via the Boston Herald. "I deleted Twitter a long time ago. I don't do any of that crap.
"I just don't listen to it. It's as simple as that. I made some mistakes the other night. Probably not the same mistakes that people thought I'd made. So my deal is there pressure that comes with this position? Shoot yeah. There's probably not a more pressure packed position in all of sports, maybe other than playing shortstop, backing up Derek Jeter when he was in New York."
Weeden said he used Twitter throughout his time at Oklahoma State, but stopped during his rookie year in the NFL. He now has someone handle his tweets for him.
"I was pretty interactive in college," Weeden said. "I remember everybody that always talked crap, they never had a picture of themselves. It was some cartoon or something, and it was always probably a 12-year-old kid that damn sure never played quarterback, and damn sure never played quarterback in the NFL. I don't need that kid telling me, 'What the hell you thinking throwing to this guy?' I don't need that.
"I'm 32 years old. I don't need a 12-year-old telling me how to play quarterback."
