Boys Will Be Boys is the rollicking true story of the Dallas Cowboys of the 1990s—a team of immensely talented, wild-partying, out-of-control glory hounds who won three Super Bowls in four years and comprised the most colorful juggernaut in the history of pro football.Drawing on interviews with hundreds of ex-Cowboys and their opponents, award-winning sportswriter Jeff Pearlman presents the complete portrait of a team as renowned for its sex, drugs, and hubris as it was for its championship rings. Molded in the image of their brash new owner, Arkansas oilman Jerry Jones, as well as their charismatic coach, Jimmy Johnson, the Cowboys soon overcame a disastrous 1–15 season in 1989 to dominate the league and reclaim its rightful place as America’s Team. With a no-holds-barred look at such legendary players as Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Deion Sanders, and many more, Boys Will Be Boys is the funny, outrageous, definitive history of a team that loved to score on the field—and off.
