Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Enjoyable Voyeuristic read
First off - do not purchase this book for your child thinking "He likes football - here is something he will like". No. This book is a true inside look into the locker room & private (formerly private) lives of NFL prima donna's. Lot's of stories about everything available to NFL superstars and how they partake in the drugs, alcohol & women that are thrown at them. A fun read - but not suitable for a younger person.
Rating:  - Loved it!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who: a) was a big fan of the early 90's Cowboys, b) is curious about what goes on behind the scenes in the NFL, or c) is interested in the impact leadership has on organizations. This book comes up juicy in all three categories.
This book is great because it avoids the common mistake made by authors documenting certain teams. Instead of going through the boring minutiae of old games, Jeff Pearlman gives gripping, inside stories that no fan ever ... Read More
Rating: - Sometimes you don't want to know how sausage is made
I love the Dallas Cowboys. I am like one of those people that stays in an abusive relationship. I just keep watching them year after year.
I think any Cowboy fan will be unable to put the book down. Anyone who hates the Cowboys may love this book even more!
There is a lot more here than a sports story.
This has a seamy underside that pretty much destroys any Cowboy idol worship that may be going on...yet there is something uplifting in it somehow. Tragedy and comedy.

Rating:  - I thought Nothing Could Surprise Me!
Being a life-long Cowboys fan, I begged my school librarian to order this book so I could read it immediately! After reading it, I told her to put it in the 'Adults Only' section - in other words, don't even let students know we have it! To learn the amount of money wasted by players and coaches on Superbowl-week partying was bad enough; to learn how much of it was condoned and even led by Jerry Jones was sickening.
The book itself is well written and painstakingly researched, although ... Read More
Rating: - "You mean to tell me there are places where women get naked? And they serve food there, too?"
Anyone who spent any time out in clubs or had friends or relatives in either the "entertainment" industry or law enforcement in the Dallas/Ft Worth area heard stories of the excesses of Michael Irvin, Charles Haley, Deion Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Kenny Gant ("You mean to tell me there are places where women get naked? And they serve food there, too?") as well as other Dallas Cowboy football players and staff in the 1990's. The existence of a player owned "safe house" (the White House) where players ... Read More
