Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Opinionated
Review: Have you ever wondered where the balls have gone in american citizens? This guy has them all. To be able to write such an opinionated book takes guts. Help this man to write more books. He hates Dallas So Much but deep down they are his team!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great book
Review: in your face cowboys' fans! the truth is revieled about the cowboys'. from the drug busts to the the arrest of michael irvin and eric williams for alledgedly raping a women. this book has it all. it doesn't get any more anti-cowboys than this. america's team? more like south americas team!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A review from someone who has at least read the book first
Review: It is obvious from reading the lower rated reviews that the individuals found the title on a search and wrote the review without reading it. Big mistake, guys. Bert Sugar is the editor, not the author. The book does collect various essays from people from both former athletes and from sports writers. Some of the essays do come off as rather dull. Most are intersting reads. There is even a short piece to accompany the cartoon of the real Americas Team, drawn by Bill Gallo, with the real team consisting of the Duke and a handful of other Western heroes. Bill Conlin, a journalist for a Philadelphia paper spends almost as much time ragging on his "Iggles" (Eagles) as he does the Cowboys. Skip Bayless, a veteran of Dallas newspapers, is one of the better writers here. Also interesting is Thom Loverro's imagined future of 2097, wherein a father tries to explain the fall of America caused by the now extinct Dallas Cowboys. Hilarious! Beware, Cowboy haters! The true origin of the "America's Taam" will defeat a myth held by haters for decades.

Summary: Dallas Really Stinks
Review: This book has got to be the best I have ever read. The Dallas Cowboys are the biggest joke foisted on the US of A since Penn and Teller. For all those who cheer for the morons in silver and white - get a life! The Cowboys are bozos, plain and simple. Jerry "gee, I'm a bozo" Jones is a shoo in for Bozo the Clown status.
The only thing more moronic than being a Cowboy fan is taking your picture with Ronald McDonald. Only the Yankees are more nausiating than the vomit-inducing Cowboys.

Summary: OUTSTANDING!
Review: This is a fantastic book that confirms what all of America knows, and what 'boys fans refuse to admit. This book knocks the dallas cowboys, and all of texas for that matter, from their pedestal of thinking the football world revolves around them. This book should be required reading for ALL sports fans, especially those cowboy fans who continue to think the football sun rises and sets in dallas.

Burt Sugar, thank you for compiling this excellent book!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Cheap Thrill? Not even...
Review: This is the work of a bitter misanthrope. Sugar's jokes are predictable and his writing style is stale. Try "When Pride Still Mattered" for a good book on football.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: America's team
Review: To all the [people] out there, that first of can't spell, Dallas Cowboys is a legendary team. They are in the hearts and minds of all Americans. To each of you that hate the Cowboys, you all know deep down that you love them. And to have a favorite team means to stick by them no matter how many games the win or lose. That's a true football fan. Go Cowboys!!
