What is it about?

“The eight-part series directed by Chapman and Maclain Way details stories told and untold of Jerry Jones' purchase of the Cowboys and their rise to prominence in the 1990s. Cowboys legends Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, and prominent world figures like former U.S. President George W. Bush and Nike co-founder and former CEO Phil Knight are among those featured to tell the team's story,” reads the official website of the Dallas Cowboys.

“Among the topics covered are Jones' purchase of the team, the famous Herschel Walker trade that helped Dallas build the famous 'Triplets' of Aikman, Smith and Irvin, three Super Bowl victories in four years, and the tense separation between Jones and Jimmy Johnson.”

"It refreshed the memory, I appreciated guys like Michael, Jimmy, Troy, Charles Haley, Deion [Sanders], all those guys, and I can't wait for you to see all of the stuff about Deion," Jones told reporters, as per the Cowboys’ statement. "It's really impressive. For me, really, to end up with a story we've had of our success, it was a close call. No matter how you make it, it was really close all the way through.

“I looked at the finish product and looked at some of how we got here, and it wasn't as pretty or it wasn't as thought out as I remember," Jones said. “There were some down times here, but I was so proud to get to be a part, and I was so gunned up that first of all, I really risked more than anybody should have to get in.”
