cover worn, has sticker on it

After taking their hard knocks as an expansion franchise, coming up short in the late Sixties and early Seventies, and breaking through by winning Super Bowl VI, by the late 1970s the Dallas Cowboys came to be known as “America’s Team” due to their star power and sustained excellence. This DVD set traces the history of the franchise from its start in 1960 up through 2003, the first year of the Bill Parcells era.

This history contains interview clips from Tex Schramm, Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, and most of the great players of the franchise’s first 44 seasons. Highlighted are the roles that the great coaches and players played, the innovations that Landry made on both sides of the ball, and the rivalry with the Washington Redskins. There is great footage of most of the team’s Super Bowls and key games, both playoff and regular season.

The bonus DVD is the “NFL’s Greatest Games” broadcast of the 1992 NFC Championship Game, when the Cowboys advanced to the first Super Bowl of the Jimmy Johnson era and avenged The Catch of 11 years earlier. This set is a good, brief history of the Dallas Cowboys.
