Book Review of 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
DieHard avatar reviewed on


I've read a few sports books but I've never read one this entertaining and captivating. You don't have to be a Cowboy fan to enjoy this book, and I'm certainly not a Cowboy fan. Pearlman offers a snapshot of the NFL culture that was taken to the extreme by the Dallas Cowboys after being bought by Jerry Jones. Sex, drugs, booze, all-night parties, it was not a pretty picture yet they dominated during this time frame. From Jimmy Johnson through Chan Gailey, go into the Cowboy locker room and get a glimpse of the NFL we don't see on Sunday.
