PREVIOUS PRAISE FOR GARY MYERS:
"Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. It's this generation's football
version of Mantle vs Mays, or Wilt vs Russell. Everyone has an
opinion, but some count more than others. Gary Myers has decades of
experience covering and reporting on the NFL. He has long been one
of the sports most respected and credible writers. His long
standing access to both Hall of Fame quarterbacks, plus countless
sources who competed with and against them, brings exceptional
insight to Myers' take on one of football's most compelling and
ongoing debates."--Bob Costas, NBC Sports
"As 'America's Team, ' they were loved and hated. Gary Myers is one
of the few writers who can share what the perceived arrogance looks
like from the inside and outside."--p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px

"Over a career spanning decades, Gary Myers has EARNED a reputation
as one of the most thorough and connected NFL reporters in the
country. The earned part is important. A book like this is only
possible with the kind of access a writer gets by proving him- or
herself to the most cynical sources in sports. Gary started proving
it covering the Landry '80s Cowboys, kept going in the crucible of
New York, and has brought us here. This book is must-read."--Brad
Sham, Dallas Cowboys radio network, fortieth season
"When Gary Myers came to the Dallas Morning News as the Cowboys
beat writer, he shook things up right away. His perspective on
every era of the Cowboys is insightful and compelling. HOW 'BOUT
THEM COWBOYS? is a must-read."--p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px
