Netflix's ‘America's Team-The Gambler and His Cowboys' fuels debate among fans as Cowboys' title drought nears 30 years
A new chapter in the Dallas Cowboys' storied history is hitting screens—ironically, by diving headfirst into the past. Netflix's upcoming 10-part docuseries, 'America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys,' is set to premiere on August 19, 2025, offering a behind-the-scenes chronicle of Jerry Jones' rise and the Cowboys' 1990s dominance. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Produced by Skydance Sports, NFL Films, and Stardust Frames, the series promises drama, nostalgia, and star power—but it's already sparking a culture clash among Cowboys fans. Cowboys fans torn as legacy is retold once again The documentary will showcase never-before-seen footage and exclusive interviews with Cowboys legends like Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, and Deion Sanders. Viewers will also hear from iconic head coaches Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer, who led Dallas to three Super Bowl wins during the 1990s. Adding a presidential touch, former U.S. President George W. Bush, a longtime Texas figure and former Rangers co-owner, also makes an appearance. While the series highlights the franchise's golden era—culminating in Super Bowl wins in 1993, 1994, and 1996—many fans are questioning whether it's time to stop romanticizing the past. The Cowboys haven't played in an NFC Championship Game since 1996, the longest drought in franchise history. "A story told over and over again. make some new history Dallas," one fan posted on X. "The only way Cowboys fans can see a championship this century," added another. Even those planning to watch voiced exasperation, "WE are ALL watching this," said one user, while another wrote, "I'll probably watch it... but JFC when is Jerry going to be forced to stop living off what Jimmy did 30 years ago?" And for a younger generation, the frustration is deeply personal, "As a Cowboys fan I'll watch it, but stuff like this only continues to fuel the narrative that fans live in the past and in the 90s. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Being born in 2000, I've never seen a championship." Star-studded, but stuck in time? While America's Team is expected to draw massive viewership, many fans argue that Jones' continued focus on legacy—and his starring role in yet another doc—only delays real progress. Despite talented rosters, coaching changes, and flashes of promise, Dallas remains a postseason underachiever. Also read: The glamour of the 90s might look good on film. But for a fanbase that's waited nearly three decades, it's not just about what was—it's about when the Cowboys will finally become what they used to be.

Cowboys cap strategy must evolve to keep contending
Cowboys cap strategy must evolve to keep contending originally appeared on Athlon Sports. If you're serious about contending, it's time to start keeping up with the Joneses, so to speak. As highlighted by Blogging The Boys, Jerry Jones' Dallas Cowboys are drastically behind the league's elite in both total void-year spending and the number of high-salary players on their roster. The Eagles lead the NFL with a staggering $452 million in void-year allocations — a strategy that has allowed them to maintain one of the deepest rosters in football. Advertisement In contrast, the Cowboys rank 16th with just $44 million in future void years, most of it tied up in Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. Philadelphia also has 10 players making at least $10 million annually, while Dallas has just five. The difference isn't necessarily about being "cheap''; it's about refusing to use every tool (or loophole) available to win now. The best teams in the league have figured it out. The salary cap isn't a hard ceiling; it's a strategy game. You can manipulate the cap through void years, restructures, and deferred money ... all with the understanding that the NFL dollar is ever inflating. The cap is fake today and real tomorrow ... but is not a team-building restriction. Advertisement Rather, it is simple accounting. And it's something we've been saying for years. The Cowboys have slowly shown signs of a 'changing of the guard' in how they approach cap management, but complacency or old-fashioned thinking or maybe frugality still looms to a degree. In a family-run front office, there's no pressure from ownership to push harder. ... because of course here, "the front office'' and "ownership'' are one in the same. That's exactly why fans must keep applying it. (For whatever good that does.) Micah Parsons, Tyler Smith, DaRon Bland, and George Pickens are next in line and the Cowboys could quickly shrink the "talent gap" in the NFC with those specific extensions. Advertisement Get ahead of the ever-increasing positional market that also parallels with the ever-ballooning cap. Push some money into future void years and trust the cap growth. Do it now. For years, the Cowboys have leaned on in-house superstar retention, cheap labor and compensatory picks as the foundation of their roster-building philosophy. And to a degree, it's worked — they draft well, they find value, and they stay under budget. But there's a ceiling to that approach. ... as exhibited by the fact that they win regular-season games ... and nothing more. You can't build a Super Bowl roster on rookie deals alone. At some point, you have to pay to keep your homegrown stars and you have to supplement that core with proven, high-priced talent. Advertisement Comp picks are nice — but banners aren't raised for mastering the comp pick formula. They're raised for winning in January and February. And that requires financial aggression, not financial caution. The league is evolving — and if the Cowboys truly want to stop spinning their wheels, they need to spend like contenders and exploit every modern cap tool available.

"There nothing American about the 'Commanders'": Fans disapprove Washington team owner Marjorie Harris' "America's Team" claim
Commanders owner Marjorie Harris stirred controversy by declaring her team "America's Team," directly challenging the long-held title owned by the Cowboys. (Getty Images) There's a running joke in the NFL that no matter the day, no matter the stakes, and no matter your team loyalty, odds are, you'll be watching the Dallas Cowboys . Whether it's Sunday night, Monday night, or even Thanksgiving, the Cowboys are somehow always on your screen. That familiar sigh? It's the ritual resignation of fans across the country, muttering at the NFL's favoritism and Jerry Jones' media pull — and still, they watch. Why? Because, love them or hate them, the Cowboys are ratings gold. NFL shocked as Commanders owner claims their franchise now deserves the title of 'America's Team' In 2024, Dallas once again proved their status as television royalty. According to Nielsen, the NFL dominated American television with 72 of the top 100 broadcasts — and the Cowboys claimed 13 of those spots. That tied them with the reigning champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. Other elite teams like the Ravens, Packers, 49ers, and Bills trailed behind. It's a striking reflection of the Cowboys' cultural grip, even if their playoff success hasn't mirrored their broadcast domination. But just as Dallas enjoys its primetime presence, a surprising voice has emerged to challenge the team's iconic nickname — "America's Team." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo During a recent community event in Washington, D.C., Marjorie Harris , wife of Washington Commanders ' managing partner Josh Harris, made a statement that ruffled feathers in Dallas. While discussing her excitement for the NFL Draft coming to D.C. in 2027, she casually — but confidently — staked a claim that sent shockwaves through Cowboys Nation. "We have so much to look forward to, and look, the Commanders are America's Team ," Harris said with a smile. "What better place than to have the NFL Draft than in the Mall?" The response was swift and predictably intense. Cowboys fans — who've clung to the 'America's Team' label since it was famously coined by NFL Films' John Facenda in 1978 — weren't pleased. The nickname has been a badge of honor, a symbol of national popularity that transcended even the team's on-field performance. But in 2024, the Washington Commanders gave football fans plenty of reasons to sit up and take notice. After a dismal 4-win season in 2023, the team made a stunning turnaround, notching 12 wins and making it all the way to the NFC Championship. Spearheaded by dynamic rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, Washington looked electric, confident, and reborn. Credit goes to new GM Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn, who reshaped the team with purpose and resilience. But netizens are not finding enough reasons to give them the tag. Marjorie Harris' bold declaration didn't come out of nowhere. Unlike many team owners' spouses, she has taken an active role in the franchise's community efforts and serves as the chair of the Washington Commanders Foundation. Her visible presence and leadership since the family's acquisition of the team in 2023 has only strengthened ties between the organization and its fan base. And perhaps that's the larger point Harris was making. Her comment wasn't just about branding; it was about momentum, pride, and community engagement. The Commanders are not just back — they're becoming a franchise that fans, both old and new, can rally behind. Even Philadelphia Eagles fans — fresh off a Super Bowl win — have spent more time this offseason analyzing Jayden Daniels than celebrating their own title. And now, with Cowboys fans joining the fray in outrage, Washington seems to have successfully reinserted itself into NFC East relevance. Sure, Dallas isn't going anywhere in terms of media exposure. They'll still headline over a dozen national broadcasts next season. The brand is as powerful as ever. But for the first time in a while, someone's actually challenging their long-standing title — not with nostalgia, but with fresh energy and results. So, are the Commanders really America's Team now? Not yet. But if they keep winning, and keep making the right kind of noise — both on and off the field — that conversation might not sound so outlandish in a few years. And when the 2027 NFL Draft rolls into the National Mall, the whole country just might tune in… whether the Cowboys are playing or not. Also Read: Is this the end of the NFL's most beloved kicker?

Micah Parsons couldn't care less about Cowboys' gauntlet schedule, 'Let's play ball!'
The NFL didn't do the Dallas Cowboys any favors when the 2025 schedules were announced. It was already known the Cowboys were going to have one of the toughest slates in the league with 10 matchups against playoff teams from last season and seven games against teams who had 11 or more wins. Yet it was the way the NFL scheduled a murders row late in the year that hammered Jerry Jones' team. The barrage of tough games late in the season, which includes a historic four-game stretch against four-straight teams that all had 14 or more wins last year, feels like it could be too much to overcome. Throw in the six consecutive games against playoff teams from 2024 before the season finale against the 'bum ass Giants' and no team has it tougher than the Cowboys. However, none of what the team is facing on the schedule seems to bother All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons, who has the right attitude about the difficulties facing the Cowboys this season. That's exactly how the rest of the team should be feeling as well. Nothing in the NFL is easy and if the Cowboys want to return to the Super Bowl, there are no easy roads. If they get there this season, they will have earned it. Dallas' schedule looks ridiculously hard, but the best approach is to embrace the challenge ahead, not to cower in fear. It's no shock that it's Parsons who has the strongest reaction as he continues to become a better leader for the organization.
