They are loved and they are hated. There is no team in the NFL, no football

all, was expected. Eight Super Bowl appearances, five Super Bowl victoriesâand,
oh, the glory and the glamour that has surrounded this team. The names
leap out of NFL history: Dandy Don Meredith, Bullet Bob Hayes, Ed âToo
Tallâ Jones, Thomas âHollywoodâ Henderson, Tom Landry,
Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer, Bill Parcells, Bob Lilly, and Mel Renfro
to Roger Staubach, Tony Dorsett, Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, and on it
goes.
In

Boys
Will Be Boys: The Glory Days and Party Nights of the Dallas Cowboys Dynasty
by Jeff Pearlman
Paperback from Harper Paperbacks
Media Published: 2009-
ISBN: 0061256811
They were called America's Team. Led by Emmitt Smith, the charismatic
Deion "Prime Time" Sanders, Hall of Famers Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin--and
lorded over by swashbuckling, power-hungry owner Jerry Jones and his two
hard-living coaches, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer--the Cowboys seemed
indomitable on the football field throughout the 1990s. Off the field the
'Boys were a dysfunctional circus, fueled by ego, sex, drugs, and jaw-dropping
excess. What they achieved on game day was astonishing; what they did the
rest of the week was unbelievable.
Boys Will Be Boys is the rollicking story of the Dallas Cowboys
in their prime--a team of wild-partying, out-of-control glory-hounds that
won three Super Bowls in four years and earned their rightful place in
sports lore as the most beloved and despised dynasty in NFL history. |

Breakthrough
'Boys: The Story of the 1971 Super Bowl Champion Dallas Cowboys
by Jaime Aron
Hardcover from MVP Books
ISBN: 0760340390
The Dallas Cowboys of the 1970s were
one of the most dominant teams in pro football history, appearing in five
Super Bowls and claiming two championships in a nine-year span. But during
the late 1960s, the Cowboys were known as the team that couldn't win the
big one, getting close to the top but failing to seal the deal--they were
perpetually "next year's champions." That all changed in 1971 when the
Boys rallied to capture their first-ever title and put the franchise on
its way to becoming "America's Team." In Breakthrough 'Boys, Jaime
Aron gets the inside stories from former players, coaches, and other key
figures to explore the fascinating and tumultuous road the Cowboys took
to their first championship in 1971 under coach Tom Landry. Eight years
after the assassination of JFK and seven years before the arrival of J.
R. Ewing, this team gave the city of Dallas the new identity it needed
and changed the face of football forever. |

Roger
Staubach Captain America
Personal
Memories and Anecdotes About the Super Bowl-Winning Quarterback of America's
Team, the Dallas Cowboys
by Mike Towle
Paperback from Cumberland House Publishing
ISBN: 1581823053
If at one time the Dallas Cowboys were America's Team, Roger Staubach
was America's Quarterback. Roger the Dodger was a real-life embodiment
of apple pie, world championships, and role models. Staubach was a Heisman
Trophy winner at Annapolis who served four years as a naval officer before
going on to a stellar eleven-year career with the Dallas Cowboys that included
four NFC championships and two Super Bowl titles. Considered the master
of the two-minute offense and late-game comeback, Staubach eventually earned
a spot in the Cowboys' illustrious Ring of Honor and, ultimately in 1985,
the Pro Football Hall of Fame. If ever there was a perfect meshing of franchise,
coach, and on-field leader, it was the silver-white-and-blue Cowboys of
the seventies with Tom Landry strolling the sidelines in his trademark
fedora and the unflappable Staubach barking signals. He led the NFL in
passing five times, and when he retired at age thirty-seven he departed
t!
he game in possession of the highest quarterback rating of all time.
After his retirement from football, he pretty much left the game behind,
forsaking a shot at coaching or television commentary to focus his energies
on the corporate world as chairman and CEO of the Staubach Company, a diversified
commercial real estate company. Roger Staubach: Captain America is an oral
history of Staubach's life, times, and career. It is told in the words
of dozens of former teammates and opponents, friends, business associates,
civic leaders, acquaintances, and others who have known him over the years.
Staubach turned sixty in 2002, and this book offers a touching and telling
testimonial to a true American hero and role model. |
