[Aaron · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not the best Cowboys book I've ever read. I was a little disappointed that the actual player contributions were pretty minimal (although, it was a pretty nice sampling of all eras of Cowboys football) and some of the game choices they made were downright odd. (Pro Bowl?) There were some good nuggets and any hard core Cowboys fan will likely enjoy it on at least some level, but it was just a middle of the road read for me.

For a Cowboy fan a very entertaining collection of a couple of dozen of the most famous Cowboys and their description of their most memorable game. I actually knew most of these stories but still very much enjoyed hearing them described by the actual participants.
