Dallas Cowboys: The Legends of America's Team

''Who better to tell the 'Legends of America's Team' than Jim Reeves, one of the most trusted and reliable sources for your Cowboy news and history.'' -- Daryl ''Moose'' Johnston, former star Cowboys fullback (Sept. 6, 2016). Meet the characters and relieve the games and controversies that captured the imagination of the nation's sports fans. Jim Reeves, for decades The Fort Worth Star-Telegram's award-winning sports columnist, goes behind the scenes to explain how the Cowboys battled for five Super Bowl titles, how Tex Schramm's creative genius forged them into America's Team, and became the richest NFL franchise under owner Jerry Jones. Reeves tells how star quarterback Roger Staubach inched along an 11 story window ledge to get Schramm's attention during contract talks. Reeves discloses how he scooped the sports world to report quarterback Troy Aikman's deep disgust for coach (and party-animal) Barry Switzer -- even during Super Bowl XXX victory celebrations. In a lengthy interview for the book, Jerry Jones makes clear that he regrets how he fumbled the firing of revered, founding coach Tom Landry. Jones also relives the abrupt split with winning coach Jimmy Johnson, his former Razorback college teammate. Then the owner candidly discusses his team's future.
