Dude, do yourself a favor and read [Boys Will be Boys] (http://www.amazon.com/Boys-Will-Be-Cowboys-Dynasty/dp/0061256811), your team was delightfully fucked up in the 90's!

Boys will be boys. Such a great look back on what being a football superstar was like before the age of social media and before when everyone had a phone.

I kinda even hate the cowboys but I still really enjoyed it and think back on it from time to time. Some of the stories stay with you.

I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but Boys Will be Boys is an entertaining read. It's about the cowboys in the '90's and their crazy shenanigans.

There's a great book you should read about the 90s team. Double-check with your dad first, though, okay? It does address somewhat mature themes. (I know, 17, but.)

Boys Will Be Boys.

Where to start....

You're OK It's Just a Bruise - A Doctor's Sideline Secrets About Pro Football's Most Outrageous Team by Rob Huizenga. As a team doctor for the Raiders during the 80s, Huizenga has access to Al Davis, Howie Long, Lyle Alzado, and others. Another in a long line of books that shows player medical treatment is poor.

Interference: How Organized Crime Influences Professional Football by Dan Moldea. Eye opening stuff about the connections between the owners and the mafia. It raises suspicions on rigged games in the history of the NFL and also goes into the gambling connections.

Bringing the Heat by Mark Bowden. A great book about the Eagles of the early 90s. It goes into the lack of injury treatment, follows Reggie White and Buddy Ryan, and touches on Jerome Brown's death and it's impact to the team.

Boys Will Be Boys: The Glory Days and Party Nights of the Dallas Cowboys Dynasty by Jeff Pearlman. I grew up hating the 90s Cowboys, but it was nice to read about the inside of that team. The book goes into the personalities, the Jones-Johnson clash, the Irvin - McIver stabbing, and the cocaine houses.

The Dark Side of the Game by Tim Green. Another great book that goes into detail about drug tests, injuries, treatment, and everything that goes on in an NFL locker room. One of my favorites.

Happy to Be Alive by Darryl Stingley. This is an autobiography of receiver Darryl Stingley chronicling his life before and after the paralyzing hit by Jack Tatum.

Meat on a Hoof by Gary Shaw. It talks about college football at UT in the 70s. The treatment of the players was pretty shocking to read. This is one you can find cheaper in a used bookstore.

I'll love my Jets until they inevitably kill me from a combination of high blood pressure and other stress related illnesses.

But the reasons I like those two teams are pretty simple:

I LOVED the Dallas teams of the 90's, if only because they drove my Giants fan relatives crazy. But Jay Novacek was also my favorite player, and I played TE in school. Plus I saw them beat the Giants in overtime at the Meadowlands, and Emmitt absolutely dominated despite hurting his shoulder in the first half. If you ever get the chance you should check out Boys will be Boys by Jeff Pearlman, it's a great read.

I loved the Saints ever since I visited NO when I was 10. Fell in love with the entire city really. Those teams in the early 90's Dome Patrol years with Swilling, Walsh, Hilliard, Heyward, Wilks, Martin, Fenerty, Johnson, and all the rest were awesome. I loved using them in Tecmo Super Bowl. Plus they have the coolest unis in the NFL...
