Having been born outside of Philadelphia (go Birds), I was raised to despise the Dallas Cowboys, and it stuck. While I can’t say that the Cowboys haven’t won a Super Bowl in my lifetime — they’ve actually won three in 1992, 1993 and 1995 — I can happily say that I have no recollection of any of those victories. But honestly, that’s probably what intrigues me about the upcoming Netflix docuseries, America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys, which premieres on August 19 and debuted its first trailer on July 14.
Chapman and Maclain Way, the directors of Emmy-winning docuseries Wild Wild Country, director/producers of the Untold sports docuseries and directors of a personal favorite sports documentary, The Battered Bastards of Baseball (all of which are on Netflix), are the directors/producers of this new docuseries. Here they will talk with all the key figures from the Cowboys' heyday under owner Jerry Jones — including Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer — to get an inside look at the team that helped define the 90s in the NFL.
