Rising from the ashes of a 1–15 season in 1989 to capture three Super Bowl trophies in four years, the Dallas Cowboys were guided by a swashbuckling, skirt-chasing, power-hungry owner, Jerry Jones, and his two eccentric, hard-living coaches, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer. Together the three built a juggernaut that America loved and loathed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut for a team that was so dominant on Sundays, the Cowboys were often a dysfunctional circus the rest of the week. Irvin, nicknamed \"The Playmaker,\" battled dual addictions to drugs and women. Charles Haley, the defensive colossus, presided over the team's infamous \"White House,\" where the parties lasted late into the night and a steady stream of long-legged groupies came and went. And then there were Smith and Sanders, whose Texas-sized egos were eclipsed only by their record-breaking on-field perfomances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an unforgettable cast of characters and a narrative as hard-hitting and fast-paced as the team itself, \u003cem\u003eBoys Will Be Boys\u003c\/em\u003e immortalizes the most beloved—and despised—dynasty in NFL history.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“It’s tempting to call \u003cem\u003eBoys Will Be Boys\u003c\/em\u003e the real-life sequel to North Dallas Forty.
