They are loved and they are hated. There is no team in the NFL, no football team in the nation that stirs as much emotion, coast to coast, as the Dallas Cowboys. They are “America’s Team.” Born in 1960, the Cowboys did not win a game in their first season, finishing 0-11-1. From those humble beginnings emerged a franchise for which winning, and winning it all, was expected. Eight Super Bowl appearances, five Super Bowl victories—and, 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 “Too Tall” Jones, Thomas “Hollywood” 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
Dallas Cowboys the rich heritage of this famous football team is captured in an extraordinary collection of stories, a spectacular selection of images from the best photo archive in all of sports, and a mind-boggling array of stats, arcana, anecdotes, and memorabilia. It is the ultimate celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Dallas Cowboys.
