I grew up in Dallas...I remember the first Super Bowl that I watched...SB V...I was 8 years old...I cried my eyes out...but a year later, I was filled with joy after SB VI...When I retired from the Air Force after 27 years in 2009, my commander asked me who had been my hero (he was looking for someone that inspired me for his speech)...I told him Roger Staubach...because he never gave up...(BTW, my commander was a Steelers fan)...But he included a great quote from Roger in his speech for me..."Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's a result of something... hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication" ...It was a perfect quote for my career...
Roger was my hero growing up too. My dad was a Steelers fan, but a 20 year Navy man. Catch 22 for him lol. His solution was, he cheered for the Cowboys against everyone but the Steelers lol.
Idolatry 😊
That silhouette of Tom Landry is as iconic as that of Abe Lincoln or Geo Washington on our coinage.
..now it's Jerry's world.
the way TL exit fr the team was handled to the subsequent treatment of Coach Johnson after that and the drought of Championship for your Cowboys.
Only that Tom Landry was real and not just historic fiction like the other guys.
I Agree. Amen
Well said!
Alfred hitchcock...
Still can't get over the intro sequence and formula, it's so memorable
Even as a Washington fan, this was awesome to watch. That Tom Landry commercial when Skins players surround him is so badass🤣
The team with no name. Your franchise is a joke. 😂

BTW...The star on the helmet was there because originally there to be called the Dallas Rangers (the star representing a badge)...but when it was found that there was already a minor league baseball team with that name, they changed it to Cowboys...and then the star represented the Lone Star of Texas...
That sounds kiney.... oh I don’t know.... 🤔
MADE UP ??
I wanna see Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, Danny White, Tony Romo, & Dak Prescott talk about their times with the Cowboys
That would be sick
Add Danny white
add cooper rush the goat

The 90 's teams have great stories I have heard them ( especially 1995 season)
How do I know that The Cowboys have the best nickname? Because everybody else wants it.
They either want it or are mad at it LOL
Clowns are not even from Dallas.
🤡🤡🤡
John Facenda would say that same line about "giving him a horse he can ride" to Steve Sabol when the younger Sabol would write something really good to use.
We will always be America's Team! 💯💯💯💯💯💯🤣🤣🤣🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👀
Love this. I grew up in the UK, so grew up watching "soccer" and rugby. I am a nightclub manager and love how this justs sets out having the chutzpah to be "Americas Team" perfect blend of style and substance. I even call our hostesses the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders 🤠.
The music "Gathering Crowds" just makes me associate success and strategy now!!
That’s so awesome lol. The cheerleaders are always top tier for the cowboys lol
@@iMsOiNsO I even tell them all every Monday in WhatsApp group - "The Sum Total Of Your Stars is a Galaxy" 😀

They even threw out a crazy lady who was kinda stalking me one night!!!

@@MarkL-we8uk I get that too cant be too chill so people don’t walk over you but it’s a great environment when workers know their managers or boss will have their backs and it’s kinda like a little family. Cheers to you from Texas,USA!!
Oh man thanks guys i needed this i grew up in the 70's im so blessed that i got to see some of the greatest Games and player's i was very young though great memories i needed this after what happened this Sunday to the boys i love the Cowboys till my last breath DC4L ❤️⭐

I may be an Eagles fan. However, when I think of the Dallas Cowboys I think of Tom Landry & Roger Staubach. Great All American- Leaders & excellent examples. Thanx, Frank😎😎😎
I love how Roger said “ I guess I can say it we played Cowboys and Indians”
It's now going to be the Cowboys and the soon to be the new name for the team in Washington stay tuned I will edit the new name here when it comes out ( Commanders)

There not
I became a Cowboy's fan in the early 70's because of Staubach. Aside from Jimmy's Super Bowl wins, Jerry has done his best to destroy the legacy that Tex and Landry built. This "America's Team" really only applies to the Landry era.
So true, I grew up in Detroit MI a Cowboys and Captain America fan!
Yep Grand Rapids, Michigan here since I was 4; 1975. They were on TV every week it seemed on CBS at 4 and that’s how it started for me.

He always sounded epic, but that and "the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field" were his crowning moments.

Tom Landry, Rio Grande valley south Texas native. Our cowboy from El Valle.
Growing up an avid Cowboys fan, I must say that I always disliked that moniker. I always thought that if I was not a fan, I would think it to be pompous as hell. LOL. And for whatever reason, it made me uncomfortable. Whatever...it's the stuff of legend now. No turning back.
Yep, I have never embraced it either, and I have been a fan since 1975..I always said screw it, the Cowboys are Dallas’ team, y’all get yer own team! But it is what it is
Nobody could say" The Dallas Cowboys" like John Facenda
The voice of God
3:23 24:06 25:10 The 1976 Dallas Cowboys with the red stripe on their helmets in honor of the US Bicentennial year. At one point, deep in the 1976 NFL season, the Oakland Raiders and the Dallas Cowboys had the two best records in the league at 9-1-0. There was every reason to think we might just get an amazing Oakland-Dallas Stabler-Staubach matchup in the Super Bowl that year. But it was not to be. Oakland did get there and they won their first NFL world championship. But Dallas ended up falling a little short and not showing up to the big dance.
Best team of the 90's was the Cowboys. Only missed 1 playoff appearance in the 90's.
2 times 1990 and 1997
That’s funny. I never once heard on this documentary Bob Ryan say that he offered the steelers the name first like so many of their fans claim 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah they’re so desperate to believe they turned it down. It’s actually pretty pathetic.
So this guy came up with the name in his office, in Philly....how ironic🤣🤣. Philly fans must be pissed, cos I know the Eagles despise the Cowboys, and vice versa 🤣🤣
I think as a cowboys fan I hate New York and and Philly more than Washington

From Roger's "Hail Mary" to "The Longest Run Ever From The Backfield". The hole in Irving Stadium for God himself to chill out on Sunday to watch America's Team that FINALLY explained why God rested on the 7th day, and it NEVA made sense to non-believers why The Creator of everything needed a day off. Our Dallas Cowboys regardless of record, failure, or off the field antics, always draw an audience. AND NO MATTER IF YOU DESPISE OR LOVE THEM. When the 4th qtr. comes. Deep inside ER'BODY hopes their in it b'cuz unlike other teams in that moment, if they win. ALL OF AMERICA FEELS LIKE THEY'VE WON. IT'S CRAZY how all is WELL when the Cowboys win, unless pure hate takes that away.
Amen!!

Take a shot everytime they say "there's only one America's Team". 🥴
Great of the Talking Heads pointing out that Landry was wearing a bulletproof vest, so if the nut was there, he would make a head shot. SMH
Not to mention, putting Chis Chrispy-Cream in there is ridiculous. Don’t need a politician in there.

Yup.
nfc least had more staying power as a nickname for their division

Ummm Elvis Presley is what’s on the pats helmet. Take a closer look. There is nothing special about their helmets unless you love Elvis music.
Love how they don’t mention the fact that they wanted to call the Steelers America’s team first and Pittsburgh was like no we’re not America’s team where the Pittsburgh Steelers😂
23:25 🤔🤔 Patriots ??
Dallas Cowboys' logic: Premise #1: Philadelphia was America's first capital; Premise #2: The Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia; Premise # 3 The US Constitution was signed in Philadelphia; Premise # 4: The National symbol for America is the Bald EAGLE. THEREFORE The COWBOYS are America's Team. 😦😫😕😵💫🥴😮💨
Dude who came up with the name: I did it because every where they went the cowboys had fans
Random Comedian: he called them that because he wanted it to represent old America…
No other teams logo is on the American flag 50 times. HOW 'BOUT THEM COWBOYS!
I cant stand the Cowboys.
I wouldn’t trade my lifetime of being a Dallas Cowboy fan for Nothing !
Unless They Cut It, Why Have Troy & Emmitt On Picture For Advertisment, They Won 3 Should Of Won 4 In A Row, As 1 Man In Documentary Says, " Makes No Sence" !!!!
Bunch of haters!!! The Cowboys are America's Team. Go Cowboys!!!
Anyone have a clue what the theme song in the beginning is called? I know David Robidoux did it but these things never give the name of the score…
that nickname sure aged like milk
Stop right dere! Lemme tell ya a lil story abaht America’s team-
Apart from the Gathering Crowds soundtrack, anyone out there know the names of the other soundtracks?
Back in the 60’s, the NFL blacked out local coverage unless the stadium was a sell out. Many Giants, Eagles and Redskins home games were not televised. Instead CBS would televise Dallas games. Besides this coverage, they also were in the same division as these three big markets along with Atlanta and St. Louis. It is because of their affiliation with the NFL East they became so popular.
Now going on 28 years of mediocrity
Dallas 40 Minnesota 15 Saturday December 28, 1996 wildcard round playoff game The last hurrah .......smh
Emmitt Smith is the GOAT, if Brady is the GOAT of QBs. Some will say Barry Sanders was a prettier runner, who give s a rats ass. Jason Garret threw a prettier deep ball than Brady so he's better, right ? Not to mention all the rule changes which now heavily cater to the success, and security and health of todays QBs. And if you're 25 you've missed out on alot of QBs who took a lot of punishment and who's recievers were repeatedly mugged with no penalties called. No going low on QB, Defenseless QB, a friggin tap to the helmet is 15 yards, ALL OF THESE ARE A JOKE IF YOU'RE COMPARING ALL TIME GREAT QBs. It just can't be done fairly. Therefore there is NO GOAT.
Emmitt himself said Payton is the greatest
Barry was the greatest pure runner ever…but as far as greatest running backs I have him at #6. He wasn’t an every down back, he got taken out at the goal line, he couldn’t get the tough yards, and he usually no showed in the postseason.
Reading the comments here is a good reminder that 'fan' is short for 'fanatic'. The level of butthurt here is truly astounding.
Over a nickname that came about because NFL films needed a title and it went viral before going viral was a thing.
NFL is big in Germany
Yes, Jim Brown was great, but he played against slow, smallish guys on defense back in the days where defenses hadn't evolved yet. Even Walter Payton played in an era where guys on defense were smaller and slower than Emmitt had to face. EMMITT SMITH is the GOAT thank you.
lol. U are crazy.
Ummmmm Emmitt himself said Payton is the greatest
Art Rooney turned the title down. After beating Dallas in super bowl X. Art Rooney to the nfl commissioner of the time “Pete, let me tell you something. We are not America’s Team. We are the Pittsburgh Steelers.''
I'm glad you wrote it, because I was. This video is 🐂💩, the Steelers have been a national fan favorite since they beat Da Raiders with The Immaculate Reception. There is not one mention in this video of the producers of NFL Films approaching Art Rooney first with the title America's Team.
Just recently, the Steelers played the Chargers in L. A, and it felt like a home game for the Steelers. There are Steeler Bars around the world, how about dem Cowboys, how many Cowboy bars are there? Enough said, or do I have to continue?

From a cowboys fan…..respect 👊🏼
Biggest joke of a franchise in NFL history
It was just a a stupid highlight film lol In the 1978 season, NFL Films put together highlight packages for each team, and they had to name each film. And for the Cowboys' 1978 season, they called it 'America's Team,' probably in large part because the quarterback, Roger Staubach, was nicknamed 'Captain America. ' but in this century...which is all that matters is here and now because 50 years ago has no relevance today... 'America's Team' Dallas Cowboys Replaced by Kansas City Chiefs as 'World's Team'?
'America's Team' Dallas Cowboys Being Replaced by Kansas City Chiefs as 'World's Team'? I'm not a Chiefs fan, I just think it's funny. But you missed my point entirely My meaning was that if it was truly about America and if it was based upon the real life history of this nation then the only logical choice to hold the title of America's team would be the New England Patriots because they are representative of the real life people who gave their lives and put themselves at great risk to take on the world power of the time and revolted against the British Empire without which you wouldn't have a country to begin with and you'd still be under the rule of the Queen. That is the facts. lol Which you missed my point entirely because it's about the fakeness of the title. I don't like things that are fake and that is a fake title because it has nothing to do with anything that actually has anything to do with America.
Shut up
Bro is so mad about this lol. Sorry but Cowboys are Americas Team, number 1 franchise.
They're only called that because of a 1970s documentary that was made about them and Roger Staubach was called Mr America because he was a vet. But the thing is, every other team had a documentary made and they all had names like that for each team. There was Purple People Eaters for the Vikings, etc. But the thing is it didn't go that much to the heads of the other teams and they didn't start calling themselves that every chance they could. lol Lately the Chiefs have replaced the Cowboys which is pretty evident. And if you really want to get technical about it. And if America's Team had any true meaning then that honor would go to the New England Patriots. They have won more SBs than Dallas and they have a minute man for their logo which means the revolutionary war soldiers and the founding of America. They represent Boston the OG Capital, the Liberty Bell, The Boston Tea PArty, Taxation without representation. The 13 colonies without which there wouldn't be an America lol So if there were any truth to the term America's team then it would be the Patriots. No other team would deserve that honor if that was a real thing. Otherwise it's just one team that noone gives a crap about saying that they're the best but constantly failing and getting laughed at like the white trash that they are. lol @@user-bm7mo2ck6r

What a shame that America’s team basically became a doormat and a laughing stock up until basically the past two seasons.
I’m happy for Dak and the guys this year, but until Jerry relinquishes control of the organization to someone new, fresh, and forward thinking, this team and its reputation will stay a thing of the past.
