In the opening moments of Netflix’s America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys , Jerry Jones recounts the moment he turned a $100 million profit on a single oil well. It was the moment, as he says, that he knew he was going to buy the Dallas Cowboys, thus launching nearly four decades of outsized sports and pop culture influence.
The series, which premiered on Netflix this week, specifically follows the 1990s Cowboys teams from the perspective of Jones ’ ownership. It features recurring interviews from a hall of fame cast of Cowboys legends, including Troy Aikman, Deion Sanders, Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer and Emmett Smith, plus appearances from George W. Bush, Skip Bayless and Jones’ children.
It was directed by brothers Chapman and Macain
