'Oil money, star power, Super Bowl dreams': Netflix will release Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys documentary series on August 19
(Image via Getty: Jerry Jones) On June 11, Netflix shared via X that it would release the Jerry Jones and Dallas Cowboys documentary series on August 19. They attached a stunning picture poster of black-goggled Jerry Jones at the center of the Cowboys' logo - The Blue Star with the back profiles of Cowboys legends RB Emmitt Smith, CB Deion Sanders, QB Troy Aikman, and WR Michael Irvin. Netflix captioned it - The definitive story of Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys premieres August 19. One fan commented - Oil money, star power, and Super Bowl dreams. This one's gonna be Texas-sized. Another wrote - Watch how I took a Super Bowl winning team into the toilet. Three championships in the cabinet, and a fourth one is still an impending dream for the 82-year-old American billionaire businessman Jerry Jones, but all everyone can remember is how he hasn't yet achieved his 'fourth' Super Bowl championship! — netflix (@netflix) Jerry Jones' Netflix docu-series would take viewers from how he bought the Dallas Cowboys to how he turned it into an envious NFL team On June 11, Marca reported that Netflix's Dallas Cowboys documentary series would feature QB Troy Aikman, RB Emmitt Smith, WR Michael Irvin, CB Deion Sanders, HC Jimmy Johnson, and HC Barry Switzer, and a special appearance by the former President of the United States of America, George W. Bush. The series would cover key milestones of Jerry Jones' life - when he revamped the Cowboys, his separation from longtime coach Tom Landry, and pairing with head coach Jimmy Johnson. His story would serve as a testament to achieving the three Super Bowl titles during times of industry innovation and brand expansion. It would primarily focus on how Jones bought the franchise and turned it into a royal authority, a monarchy, and an envious NFL team. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A stress-relief game that everyone around me is playing Elvenar - Play on Browser Learn More Undo Fans react to the release date announcement of Netflix's Jerry Jones and Dallas Cowboys documentary series Netflix will release Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones' docu-series on August 19, 2025.

Explosive Edge Rusher Hudson Woods Commits to SMU Football
Explosive Edge Rusher Hudson Woods Commits to SMU Football originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Hilltop just got a lot louder. When Smithson Valley edge rusher Hudson Woods announced his commitment to SMU, he didn't just add another name to the 2026 class, he lit a fire under a program already trending upward in the ACC. Woods, a disruptive force off the edge, tallied 13 sacks and 20 quarterback hurries in his junior high school season, and he's now poised to wreak havoc in red and blue. Advertisement 'I love everything,' Woods told On3 following his official visit. 'The culture, the environment, the opportunities. As soon as I stepped on campus for the first time, I knew that this place is my home.' For Mustang fans, it's a commitment that signals more than just a win on the recruiting trail, it's a reflection of SMU's growing momentum under head coach Rhett Lashlee and defensive staff who are building a modern contender with a ferocious defensive identity. SMU Mustangs head coach Rhett Lashlee© Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports Woods, a three-star recruit ranked No. 72 at his position nationally, drew offers and took official visits to Oklahoma State, Northwestern, and Wisconsin, but it was the culture in Dallas, and the connection with edge rushers coach Sam Dunnam that sealed it. Advertisement 'Coach Dunnam is an amazing coach. Someone I could definitely see coaching me,' Woods said. 'Practice was super entertaining. Looks like a lot of fun, and I had a bunch of great talks with all the coaches.' That connection isn't just talk, it's rooted in a coaching staff that emphasizes speed, aggression, and leadership on the defensive line. SMU's defense has been steadily climbing in performance and recruiting rankings, and Woods represents the next gear. SMU fans saw flashes of dominance from the defensive front last season. With Woods in the fold, there's now a clear blueprint for building a ACC-caliber pass rush. His commitment reinforces the idea that top Texas talent no longer sees SMU as a fallback, it's a destination. The Mustangs' push toward a national stage has become more believable with each high-profile pledge, and Woods' commitment gives fans one more reason to believe: this team isn't just recruiting well, they're recruiting the right kind of player. Advertisement With relentless pursuit, explosive first-step quickness, and Texas-sized ambition, Hudson Woods is the kind of edge rusher you build a defense around. And now, he's a Mustang.

Lesser-known provincial park lets you experience Ontario's outback in total solitude
Canada is a wild country. I want to detach from the matrix and reconnect to something real, so I head north. And yet, whenever I've said, 'I'm going up north for the weekend,' I've still been very much in the south. Article content Article content Ontario's true north is a Texas-sized wilderness. The opportunities for exploring its backcountry are endless. So where should I go? If I set a protractor on a map, measured a line from Toronto to say, Woodland Caribou Provincial Park, spun it around and measured the same distance south, I'd be floating in the Gulf of Mexico. Woodland Caribou is a boreal forest high above the maple line and part of the largest contiguous forest in the world. With two childhood friends on a guys' trip, we fly to the North. Article content Article content There are no roads. No slogging through cottage-country traffic — just a hop, skip and a jump to Red Lake for our northern exposure. We board a single-engine propeller-driven plane and shortly disembark at the dock of the fully outfitted eco-lodge within the interior. It's a raw environment, unspoiled, untouched, and seemingly undiscovered. No cell reception here. Article content There is a difference between feeling remote and actually being remote. Amidst absolute quiet, we survey the lake, explore the trails, and are immediately aware that no one else is here. We are totally alone. Woodland Caribou receives fewer visitors in one year than Algonquin Provincial Park does in one day. This park is still used by Anishinaabe communities for trapping and hunting. We have more chance of seeing a moose than another human being. Article content Article content Article content Article content After hammering a totemic symbol into the ground, we hike into the thicket. White lichen blankets the ground. 'This is caribou food,' our guide tells us, as he removes an axe from his pack to chop a fallen tree obstructing our path. We learn what is edible and what is not, for our zero-mile diet, and forage for cranberries, chanterelles, Labrador tea, mint, whole-grain wild rice and even chaga. These wooden slabs formed over decades around a tree's wounds are the life force of a birch tree and a highly potent nutraceutical tea. We steep it overnight, and in the morning, literally drink in the environment. One cupful tastes like our walk in the woods. Article content Article content Breathing the exhilarating fresh air, we feel rugged and yet, like City Slickers, are comically out of our element. Alternating between splashing through the brisk water along the beach, and decompressing inside a wood-fired Finnish sauna, we're rejuvenated and carefree. On the porch grill, we're cooking moose for dinner. Our guide has marinated it in Pepsi. Why? 'Because it'll eat through anything,' he says. Drizzling a reduction of our foraged-berries and Canadian whisky, we indulge in the most mouth-watering, succulent steaks. Article content Article content Article content There's a cozy fire inside, but we head outside to build a campfire and warm to its hypnotic glow. Sparks that crackle and pop lead our eyes up to the cosmic chandelier above. What begins as a nebulous flicker along the horizon gradually engulfs the whole night sky into fluid draping waves of the aurora borealis. We gaze up in wonder, amazement, and silence. So close, it feels like we can almost reach up and touch it. Paddling out into the lake, enveloped in the green light, we run our fingers through its reflection off the water.

Lesser-known provincial park lets you experience Ontario's outback in total solitude

So close, it feels like we can almost reach up and touch it. Paddling out into the lake, enveloped in the green light, we run our fingers through its reflection off the water. In the early morning sun, we rise to the whistle of a coffee pot and the beckoning aroma of freshly baked chocolate chip banana bread, fluffy pancakes, and sizzling bacon — fuel for a morning of paddling and portaging as we search for Ojibwe pictographs and fish. Fishing in Olive Lake is like hailing a cab in rush hour. You know they're out there; you just have to find the right spot. Once you do, let the meter run, because it's a buyer's market and you're the only fare in town. This is a haven for walleye, northern pike, and lake trout. Within minutes I catch two thick walleyes. The lake sparkles as we leisurely paddle to a campsite where our guide teaches me how to filet the fish right there on the rocks, while the others start a fire to cook them for our lunch. Water rushes up between our toes as we sit on the shore, enjoying our walleye with freshly baked bannock and a wooden platter of cheese, fruit, and charcuterie. This is the life. We have everything we need to experience the North Country in a most comfortable way. There are no guarantees of animal sightings, but that's not a bad thing. I would rather see the iconic Woodland Caribou on a Canadian quarter than disturb one in his own native habitat. Our aim is to experience our pristine resources while leaving them pristine; to appreciate their awesome quality while respecting their fragility. There's such a natural feeling of connection here to which we easily gravitate and feel replenished. We acclimate organically to a liberating solitude that is just not possible in the more populated parks of the south. On a neighbouring lake, we lay back in our canoes and slowly drift along placid water beneath rocky crags in silence and the warm caress of the sun. My friend smiles as he sighs and says, 'I can't remember the last time I enjoyed doing nothing.' This post appeared first on DINE and Destinations Magazine .

Cowboys' George Pickens Trade 'Worth The Risk'
Cowboys' George Pickens Trade 'Worth The Risk' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Dallas Cowboys needed an "explosive" No. 2 receiver opposite CeeDee Lamb, and the franchise's answer was trading for Pittsburgh Steelers' George Pickens. Advertisement The move for George was met with what we think was an odd reaction. Some were lauding it, given that the Cowboys showed they want to get better, yet others were shaking their head at the move due to his on-and-off-field incidents, despite those same people urging Dallas to make a trade. Now that the dust has settled and George has done nothing but positive things at OTAs both on and off the field, Bleacher Report has ranked what it thinks are 25 of the best moves this offseason, with Dallas' trade for Pickens landing at No. 11. "The Dallas Cowboys head into every season with Texas-sized aspirations, but the team also had a 10-gallon hole at wide receiver opposite CeeDee Lamb," Bleacher Report writes. "George Pickens had an up-and-down three years in Pittsburgh, but Pickens never had less than 800 receiving yards in a season and the potential to be an excellent No. 2 receiver in Dallas. For a Day 2 pick in 2026 (plus a pick swap), Pickens is more than worth the 'risk.' George Pickens At AttBy Tony Fisher Given how productive Pickens was as the lone hand in the Steelers' offense, which had below-par quarterback play for much of his time there, he now has Dak Prescott. Advertisement Not only that, he has a teammate in Lamb who, despite Pickens' talent, should command the defense's attention. Hello, one-on-ones for George. If things pan out the way Dallas and Pickens hope in 2025, and he plays a key role in the franchise getting back to the playoffs with, say, 800-ish yards and a handful of touchdowns, we might look back on his trade this offseason as one of the best ones a team has made. Yes, it might be wishful thinking, but such is George's talent, and there is every chance it eventuates.
