Product Description:
From the glory years of Landry and Staubach, the Cowgirls and the Super Bowl, to the bizarre reign of error, terror, and hilarity of the 90s Dallas Cowboys under their flamboyant owner Jerry Jones (the man San Francisco 49ers general manager Carmen Policy describes as a 'snake-oil salesman' and 'a gunslinger''; the man who Art Modell says 'never met a camera he didn't like'); and ex-coaches Jimmy 'Jerry Jones don't know shit' Johnson and Barry 'All this because of a handful of dopin', rapin', shootin' kids' Switzer, this collection of wit and wisdom presents the rise and fall of the football team all America loves to hate. The receptions, first downs, rushing records, touchdowns, acquittals, and convictions are covered. Mamas, Don't Let Your Cowboys Grow Up To Be Babies provides every NFL fan with the vital stats they need to be up to date with antics of the run-and-gun boys from the wild west.

Review: Mamas, Don't Let Your Cowboys Grow Up to Be Babies, by Michael Holmes
Holmes, Michael. Mamas, Don't Let Your Cowboys Grow Up to Be Babies, Toronto, ECW Press. 1998. PB, 96p, illus., list: 8.95, ISBN: 1-55022-359-3
As a Dallas Cowboys fan, given the title, I was expecting the worst. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to find a minimum of editorializing and Cowboy-bashing by the author -- rather, he lets the principals (in most cases) speak for themselves.
