The 1990s were a sea of Starter jackets, but no pullover parka was as popular as The Cowboys’. With players like Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders, and Troy Aikman, the team transcended sports and became a fixture of popular culture. To wit, seeing a star on a nylon breakaway jacket was almost as common as seeing them in the night sky. But, unfortunately, we’re not here to talk about Gen-X couture, we’re here to ask, “how ’bout them Cowboys?” In the trailer for the new Netflix docu-series, _America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys_, directors Chapman and Maclain Way (Wild, Wild Country) recount the rise to power of owner Jerry Jones, the titular gambler who transformed football and assembled one of the sport’s most formidable lineups. Giving Jones and his Cowboys the _Last Dance_ treatment, the documentary is the latest entry into Netflix’s Cowboys Cinematic Universe, joining _America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders_ and _Cowboy Bebop_. If that’s not enough of a draw, the producers got George W. Bush, [star of the third-highest-grossing documentary of all time](https://www.avclub.com/15-years-later-michael-moores-fahrenheit-9-11-remains-1835742070), to sit for an interview.
[Here’s the synopsis](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/dallas-cowboys-football-doc-series-release-date-trailer-news?utm_source=mediacenter):
> The upcoming documentary series by the Emmy-winning directors of _Wild Wild Country_ and _Untold_ will tell the story of how “America’s Team” established a legacy. It features interviews with the architects of the Cowboys’ success, including the owner, president, and general manager, Jerry Jones, who purchased the team in 1989. Among the doc’s other commentators are players who became household names in the ’90s — Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders — as well as head coaches Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer and notable fans like former President George W. Bush and Nike co-founder Phil Knight.
_America’s Team_ touches down on Netflix on August 19.
