Editorial Reviews

Review

...gives the reader an intimate look at the legends such as Bob Tilly, Tony Dorsett, Walt Garrison, Ed "Too Takk" Jones and Danny White among others. (Larry Lawrence Abilene Reporter News )

Jensen, a good writer and interviewer, was wise to give them full voice in their stories. It makes for a most unusual chorus. (Sam Blair Dallas Morning News )

5.0 out of 5 stars The Good Ole Cowboys Are Back!, September 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Where Have All Our Cowboys Gone? (Hardcover)

This book takes you back through the good, bad and ugly days of Dallas Cowboy football. But its not really so much about football, its about the "after football" life of some of our favorite players of the past. Its hard to remember the names of most of the current players, but many of us long-time fans love to remember the good old days.
The author has provided a very informative and intriguing look at dozens of Dallas Cowboy players, some of them in the Ring of Honor, some of them more obscure. But each player has an interesting story to tell and the book is a very easy and enjoyable read. Not your typical sports book! I recommend it for both men and women readers.

This review is from: Where Have All Our Cowboys Gone? (Hardcover)

This has to be the best biological collection of any sports team ever! My father, my brother, my friend, my mother and I - we all thoroughly enjoyed this book. My family often corresponds by way of sharing book reviews and this one quickly made it through the family. My father loved reliving all of his favorite players, my brother read it and loves debating with my father, my friend is just so happy that he can now understand the comparisons given during the telecasts of games today, but my mother and I had the most fun trying to quiz each other. Honestly, a great read for the sports enthusiasts and those crazy few in my family who want to discuss sports in anthropological terms.

This review is from: Where Have All Our Cowboys Gone? (Hardcover)

We bought this for my brother for Christmas, but I have to admit several of the biographies were read before it was wrapped. My brother is a die hard cowboy fan. He loved reading the short biographies of where some of the OLD DAYS and NEW players are now. The only thing I wish is that there had been a short biography for TOM LANDRY because to me he is the HEART of the Cowboys.
