Product Description
There is likely no team in Americans sports more loathed than the Dallas Cowboys. The antics of their players and coaches, their crass showmanship, their contemptible pride, make them a worthy target of our scorn. For the first time ever, a collection of essays will give voice to what America thinks of the Dallas Cowboys. Bert Randolph Sugar, whom The New Yorker called "the best kibitzer in New York," has brought together a noted list of contributors who share our contempt. Here's a taste of their distaste. "I doubt if Jerry Jones can even spell tradition."--Chet Coppock, The Voice of Chicago. I Hate the Dallas Cowboys will be a crisp invective that is sure to make headlines and sure to make us laugh.

 Very Entertaining January 5, 1998
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
As webmaster of 49ersFan.Net, I ordered several books for Christmas gifts this year. Among them was this book. When it arrived, I thumbed through it and couldn't put it down. Needless to say I kept a copy for myself. There are reflections and comments from many "professional" Cowboy's haters such as Skip Bayless (former Dallas beat-writer), Steve Bartkowski (former Falcons QB), and many other NFL players and personalities. What I found most fascinating were the comparisons between today's Cowboy juveniles, and the personalities of the past! I thought the "old" Cowboys had a pretty good reputation but apparently I was WRONG! For those who truely hate the Cowboys, this book is EXCELLENT! Very entertaining and a great buy!

To all the [people] out there, that first of can't spell, Dallas Cowboys is a legendary team. They are in the hearts and minds of all Americans. To each of you that hate the Cowboys, you all know deep down that you love them. And to have a favorite team means to stick by them no matter how many games the win or lose. That's a true football fan. Go Cowboys!!
This is a well informed and organized book. October 13, 1998

I feel that Mr. Sugar has done what a lot of long time fans have been wanting to do. Write a book informing the General public of what the Cowboys are all about. They have been around with an attitude for long enough. Mr. Sugar has compiled essays laying out specific excusses to hate the Cowboys. There are a couple of them that are for the cowboys. This is a well balanced book. It is suggested reading for all fans who love to hate the worst team ever.
OUTSTANDING! December 6, 1999

This is a fantastic book that confirms what all of America knows, and what 'boys fans refuse to admit. This book knocks the dallas cowboys, and all of texas for that matter, from their pedestal of thinking the football world revolves around them. This book should be required reading for ALL sports fans, especially those cowboy fans who continue to think the football sun rises and sets in dallas. Burt Sugar, thank you for compiling this excellent book!

Have you ever wondered where the balls have gone in american citizens? This guy has them all. To be able to write such an opinionated book takes guts. Help this man to write more books. He hates Dallas So Much but deep down they are his team!
