101 Reasons to Love the Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys-"America's Team"-joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1960. Today, the franchise shares the record for most Super Bowl appearances (8) with the Pittsburgh Steelers and have recorded 20 consecutive winning seasons (1966-85), in which they only missed the playoffs twice (1974 and 1984), an NFL record that remains both unbroken and unchallenged. From owner Jerry Jones to such coaches and players as Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, and Emmit Smith, not to mention those gorgeous cheerleaders, the Cowboys have brought unforgettable sportsmanship and Texas swagger to professional football.
