If you’ve spent any time in Texas, you know two things: the brisket is smoked low and slow, and the Dallas Cowboys are God’s chosen franchise, at least according to the Cowboys. For everyone else, there’s a new Netflix docuseries, America’s Team: A Gambler and His Cowboys, which offers a front-row seat to the team’s Shakespearean saga of oil money, egos, and end zones.
The series charts the Cowboys’ meteoric rise and inevitable implosion under the ever-magnificent, occasionally Machiavellian, Jerry Jones, the Arkansas oilman who bought the team, fired living legend Tom Landry, endured a 1-15 season that would make a lesser man retreat into witness protection, and then, somehow, assembled a dynasty that won three Super Bowls in four years. This is not just football history. It’s American legend with shoulder pads.
