'The Last Dance' - Cowboys Style? Imagining 'America's Team' In A Docuseries

Which Dallas Cowboys era/players/teams would make for great stars of the next hit docuseries? Let's examine 'The Last Dance' - 'America's Team'-Style

DALLAS – ESPN’s wildly popular “The Last Dance" has taken the world by storm, becoming the most-watched series in ESPN’s history and surpassing Netflix’s “Tiger King” as the most popular documentary of 2020.

The team that dominated the NFL for the better part of the decade had drama, egos and controversy fit for the big screen. I think they'd dominate again, today, on TV.
