Top Moments, Reaction from Cowboys Netflix Show on Jerry Jones, Deion Sanders and More

If you're a fan of the NFL and you're younger than 30, then it might be hard to believe there was a time when the Dallas Cowboys were winning multiple Super Bowls.

The franchise's glory days of the 1990s were the subject of the Netflix documentary, America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys, which dropped Tuesday. The eight-part series chronicled Jerry Jones' arrival, the ouster of coaching legend Tom Landry and hiring of Jimmy Johnson, and the three titles that resulted from that.

One anecdote symbolized why Dallas rose to the top under Johnson and why his tenure had an expiration date. On a flight back following a defeat, he instructed the flight attendants to not serve his players any food:

Johnson resigned in March 1994 after his and Jones' relationship fractured beyond repair. If that hadn't happened, the exacting standards he had for the team probably would've done him in eventually.

The Athletic's Jason Jones wrote how the dynamic between Jones and Johnson and what else Dallas might've achieved without their breakup "is one of the biggest questions explored in the series."

"Even in episodes not focused on Johnson, his absence is prominent," Jason Jones said. "His demanding style and level of discipline grinded on players, but it also kept them in line. After Johnson's departure, a more relaxed atmosphere made practices easier, but it also irked quarterback Troy Aikman, who would question the lack of accountability during games."

Feuds between a head coach and team owner haven't disappeared completely. They certainly don't play out like the long battle between Jones and Johnson eventually leading to their split, though.

Throughout their run, the Cowboys enjoyed success on the field in equal measure to the drama they created off it. The documentary isn't afraid to wade into that and even addresses the infamous "White House," a residence utilized for various extracurricular activities.

While some players declined to go into any detail about the "White House," Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin readily admitted to being its "president" and referenced some of what happened between its walls:

America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys was obviously an opportunity for Cowboys fans to get nostalgic about better times. The wait for another Super Bowl championship is dragging into a third decade.

For some, the documentary was a reminder of how far Dallas has fallen:

The series also reinforced how Jones isn't going anywhere, at least by choice. He says at one point he enjoys the "pain" when discussing why he hasn't stepped down as general manager and hired someone else for the role.

It's not just that the Cowboys may never again reach the dizzying heights they did in the 1990s. The escapades of those teams might not be duplicated by any other franchise for a long, long time.
