Pearlman, J. (2008). Boys will be boys: The glory days and party nights of the Dallas Cowboys dynasty. New York: HarperCollins.
Any Football fan will remember the dominance the early 1990’s Dallas Cowboys Team had in the National Football League. I remember seeing the games and enjoying my favorite team beat teams like the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles. It was no surprise that the book Boys will be Boys by Jeff Pearlman about the Cowboys caught my attention.
Surprisingly some of the key players for the Cowboy’s Dynasty Team are living in shacks and working assembling line jobs to make ends meet. Players like Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman are financially stable. These three superstars have endorsement deals and work as football analyst for FOX, ESPN, and the N.F.L Network. Other players were able to save money and make wise financial investments.
This book gives the reader an inside look at how fortunes were made and lost in the National Football League. If you are a football fan and especially a Dallas Cowboys fan, you must take the time to read this Book. (Click here to check for availability)
