The new Netflix documentary series on the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones is incredible. I never use that term lightly. Everything about it is compelling. There are stories I’d never known or had long forgotten about the team that won three Super Bowls in four years, starting only three years after Jones bought the team.

Jerry Jones opens the new Netflix documentary by bragging about his ability to talk people into lending him money. He was born to sell his version of reality. While wildly entertaining, America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys is ultimately Jones selling us his version of what happened in Dallas.
