The “America’s Team” roster has Pro Bowl players end to end – half the Cowboys starters were named. The ‘Boys are near the top of the league in points scored. Quarterback Tony Romo made headlines both for his on-field heroics and his off-field dating exploits. And 2008 marks the end of an era….the final season in the storied Texas Stadium. With so much backstory, the Cowboys are going to remain one of the hottest football tickets around. The team has lost little from last year’s fearsome squad, and they appear to have learned from their 2007 NFL playoff disappointment. The defense has been upgraded with free agents Pacman Jones and Zach Thomas. No matter what, there will be fireworks in Irving this season.

Some Dallas Cowboy history: Dallas is one of the most successful franchises in NFL history, having appeared in eight Super Bowls -- more than any other team. The Cowboys won five of these games, a record matched by the San Francisco 49ers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tom Landry, a legend in professional football history, coached the club to two Super Bowl victories during the 1970s, with teams starring quarterback Roger Staubach. Dressed in a jacket, tie, and trademark hat, Landry was a familiar sight on the Dallas Cowboys sideline from 1960 to 1988. During his 29-year career the Hall of Fame strategist guided the Cowboys to five Super Bowl appearances and compiled 270 career wins.
