The Dallas Cowboys do not win a Super Bowl since the end of the 1995 season. In fact, that was the last year (January 1996) that the so-called “Team America” played in an NFC Championship.
It’s been 27 long years since that last title for the Cowboys, who dominated the NFL in the 1990s with three Super Bowls, the first just three years after Jerry Jones bought the franchise for $140 million..
Despite the failures on the field of play, the value of the Cowboys has multiplied and today the Texan franchise is valued -according to the most recent list of the magazine Forbes– in $8,000 million or what is the same: the most expensive team in the world.
Netflix wants a Jerry docuseries
Maybe that is why Netflix is close to acquiring the rights to make a new docuseries that will focus on the owner of the Cowboys, Jerry Jones, and for which will pay $50 millionaccording to PuckNews.
The deal is not finalized, but, the report adds, Netflix won the battle against ESPN to stay with this docuseries, which will relive the glory years of the Cowboys in the 1990s, when Dallas became one of the most dominant dynasties in the NFL.
The series will “trace Jones’ remarkable rise from the son of an Arkansas community store owner to one of the most innovative and influential leaders” in American sports.
It will also feature never-before-seen interviews with three of those Cowboys’ most iconic players: quarterback Troy Aikmanthe wide receiver michael irvin and the running back emmitt smith.
At the moment there is no release date nor is it known how many episodes this docuseries will have, but it is a fact that, because it is about the Cowboys, it will be a must-see show for all NFL lovers.
