  <description><![CDATA[<p>They were America's Team&#8212;the high-priced, high-glamour, high-flying Dallas Cowboys of the 1990s, who won three Super Bowls and made as many headlines off the field as on it. Led by Emmitt Smith, the charismatic Deion &quot;Prime Time&quot; Sanders, and Hall of Famers Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin, the Cowboys rank among the greatest of all NFL dynasties.</p> <p>In similar fashion to his <em>New York Times</em> bestseller <em>The Bad Guys Won!</em>, about the 1986 New York Mets, in <em>Boys Will Be Boys</em>, award-winning writer Jeff Pearlman chronicles the outrageous antics and dazzling talent of a team fueled by ego, sex, drugs&#8212;and unrivaled greatness. Rising from the ashes of a 1-15 season in 1989 to capture three Super Bowl trophies in four years, the Dallas Cowboys were guided by a swashbuckling, skirt-chasing, power-hungry owner, Jerry Jones, and his two eccentric, hard-living coaches, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer. Together the three built a juggernaut that America loved and loathed.</p> <p>But for a team that was so dominant on Sundays, the Cowboys were often a dysfunctional circus the rest of the week. Irvin, nicknamed &quot;The Playmaker,&quot; battled dual addictions to drugs and women. Charles Haley, the defensive colossus, presided over the team's infamous &quot;White House,&quot; where the parties lasted late into the night and a steady stream of long-legged groupies came and went. And then there were Smith and Sanders, whose Texas-sized egos were eclipsed only by their record-breaking on-field perfomances.</p> <p>With an unforgettable cast of characters and a narrative as hard-hitting and fast-paced as the team itself, <em>Boys Will Be Boys</em> immortalizes the most beloved&#8212;and despised&#8212;dynasty in NFL history.</p>]]></description>

Rising from the ashes of a 1-15 season in 1989 to capture three Super Bowl trophies in four years, the Dallas Cowboys were guided by a swashbuckling, skirt-chasing, power-hungry owner, Jerry Jones, and his two eccentric, hard-living coaches, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer.

    <![CDATA[<p>They were America's Team&#8212;the high-priced, high-glamour, high-flying Dallas Cowboys of the 1990s, who won three Super Bowls and made as many headlines off the field as on it. Led by Emmitt Smith, the charismatic Deion &quot;Prime Time&quot; Sanders, and Hall of Famers Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin, the Cowboys rank among the greatest of all NFL dynasties.</p> <p>In similar fashion to his <em>New York Times</em> bestseller <em>The Bad Guys Won!</em>, about the 1986 New York Mets, in <em>Boys Will Be Boys</em>, award-winning writer Jeff Pearlman chronicles the outrageous antics and dazzling talent of a team fueled by ego, sex, drugs&#8212;and unrivaled greatness. Rising from the ashes of a 1-15 season in 1989 to capture three Super Bowl trophies in four years, the Dallas Cowboys were guided by a swashbuckling, skirt-chasing, power-hungry owner, Jerry Jones, and his two eccentric, hard-living coaches, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer. Together the three built a juggernaut that America loved and loathed.</p> <p>But for a team that was so dominant on Sundays, the Cowboys were often a dysfunctional circus the rest of the week. Irvin, nicknamed &quot;The Playmaker,&quot; battled dual addictions to drugs and women. Charles Haley, the defensive colossus, presided over the team's infamous &quot;White House,&quot; where the parties lasted late into the night and a steady stream of long-legged groupies came and went. And then there were Smith and Sanders, whose Texas-sized egos were eclipsed only by their record-breaking on-field perfomances.</p> <p>With an unforgettable cast of characters and a narrative as hard-hitting and fast-paced as the team itself, <em>Boys Will Be Boys</em> immortalizes the most beloved&#8212;and despised&#8212;dynasty in NFL history.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>They were America's Team&#8212;the high-priced, high-glamour, high-flying Dallas Cowboys of the 1990s, who won three Super Bowls and made as many headlines off the field as on it. Led by Emmitt Smith, the charismatic Deion &quot;Prime Time&quot; Sanders, and Hall of Famers Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin, the Cowboys rank among the greatest of all NFL dynasties.</p> <p>In similar fashion to his <em>New York Times</em> bestseller <em>The Bad Guys Won!</em>, about the 1986 New York Mets, in <em>Boys Will Be Boys</em>, award-winning writer Jeff Pearlman chronicles the outrageous antics and dazzling talent of a team fueled by ego, sex, drugs&#8212;and unrivaled greatness. Rising from the ashes of a 1-15 season in 1989 to capture three Super Bowl trophies in four years, the Dallas Cowboys were guided by a swashbuckling, skirt-chasing, power-hungry owner, Jerry Jones, and his two eccentric, hard-living coaches, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer. Together the three built a juggernaut that America loved and loathed.</p> <p>But for a team that was so dominant on Sundays, the Cowboys were often a dysfunctional circus the rest of the week. Irvin, nicknamed &quot;The Playmaker,&quot; battled dual addictions to drugs and women. Charles Haley, the defensive colossus, presided over the team's infamous &quot;White House,&quot; where the parties lasted late into the night and a steady stream of long-legged groupies came and went. And then there were Smith and Sanders, whose Texas-sized egos were eclipsed only by their record-breaking on-field perfomances.</p> <p>With an unforgettable cast of characters and a narrative as hard-hitting and fast-paced as the team itself, <em>Boys Will Be Boys</em> immortalizes the most beloved&#8212;and despised&#8212;dynasty in NFL history.</p>]]>
