Boys Will Be Boys: The Glory Days and Party Nights of the Dallas Cowboys Dynasty
Boys Will Be Boys: The Glory Days and Party Nights of the Dallas Cowboys Dynasty, a new book by Jeff Pearlman
From Publishers Weekly In his latest effort, Pearlman (The Bad Guys Won!) tells the story of how the Dallas Cowboys went from being a league doormat to a Super Bowl–winning machine. It's the cast of characters that makes this story a page-turner, starting with controlling owner Jerry Jones; all-business coach Jimmy Johnson, who would cut a player without blinking; and star players Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith and Deion Sanders. Pearlman explores the many other people who bought into the philosophy that if you were going to be a Dallas Cowboy... you needed to live the life—and that meant, in the early '90s, plenty of infidelity, cocaine, nightly trips to gentleman's clubs and hangovers at practice. Pearlman interviewed nearly 150 members of the Cowboys organization for the book, but much of the terrific detail comes from such tangential folks as journalists, players' wives and staff at the local Cowboys restaurant. The anecdotes range from uplifting (the heartwarming story of quarterback Troy Aikman granting a wish to a dying boy) to raunchy (defensive end Chris Haley, while playing for the 49ers, often masturbated in the locker room). In the end, Pearlman has produced a narrative that is as entertaining as it is insightful. (Sept.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Has anyone checked this out yet? I caught an interview on the radio w/ the author and it sounds like a pretty good read for redskin fans. A couple of points he made: Nobody liked Emmitt Smith as he was a complete ass. He wouldn't sign an autograph for a teammates own mother, by saying if I sign this for your f****** mom I'll have to sign one for everyone's f****** mom. Michael Irvin slit a players throat w/ a pair of barber's scissors in a locker room fight over "seniority." This was covered up by the team during Irvin's probationary period. Oh yeah, lot's of drugs and women. I might have to check this one out. It doesn't seem to paint such a great picture about those loveable cowboys. Too funny. |

I'm surprised the cowgirls could even have a huddle. From what I understand, convicted felons are'nt suppose to associate with other convicted felons.

Starring Michael Irvin as Edward Scissorhands. I can't believe he didn't do time for the stabbing.

Yeah this book sounds great. I am dying to pick it up. Sounds like Charles Haley really steals the show.
