The Hollywood Reporter asks brothers Chapman and Maclain Way — and Netflix VP of sports, Gabe Spitzer — just why the streamer loves the Dallas Cowboys so damn much.
A viral clip of Jerry Jones from the new Dallas Cowboys Netflix documentary reveals what the owner wants in a head coach.
Love him or hate him, Jerry Jones' impact on the NFL, and thus on American culture, is undeniable. He took a popular sport, and through his relentless gambles and media savvy, pushed it to the center of American entertainment skyrocketing its value into the billions of dollars.
When Jerry Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys in February 1989 and then fired legendary head coach Tom Landry, much of the franchise’s fandom was unhappy with the Arkansas oil man, as detailed in Netflix's 'America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys.
In Netflix's new docuseries, America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys, Jones detailed how he came very close to purchasing the San Diego Chargers when he was 28 years old. According to Jones, he got the Teamsters, a labor union led by the controversial Jimmy Hoffa, to help him finance 10 pizza parlors.
In an interview with Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, Jones expressed surprise over the decision of producers of the soon-to-be-released Cowboys documentary to overlook one specific aspect of the formation of the Cowboys team that won three Super Bowls in the 1990s.
