A Football Fan's Guide to the Dallas Cowboys

By , About.com Guide

The Dallas Cowboys are one of the most loved / hated teams in the NFL. They have a tough-but-smart owner in Jerry Jones. They have die-hard fans. They have the prettiest and most well-known cheerleaders in the league. What they don't have is a name for their billion-dollar stadium. For now it's just "Cowboys Stadium." What they're hoping for is another Super Bowl victory. Will this be the year?
