Straight Forward and Sobering...

I've just completed Skip Bayless' book "Hell Bent; The Inside Story of a 'Win or Else' Dallas Cowboy Season" and found it to be imformative and interesting as a work but damn dissappointing as a commentary on my favorite football team.A Dallas fan will find it fascinating to learn about the myriad of interwoven relationships, some sweet and smalltown, others downright adulterous, that make up the infrastructure of "America's Team".If you didn't like Barry Switzer as a coach then you may not even like him as a human after reading this tell-all. After all this amazing team has accomplished in the nineties, the one most remarkable feat may be the survival of the Jerry Jones-Barry Switzer era however short it was.One final note; If you come away from reading this book with any shread of respect for Larry Lacewell I suspect you may be a regular viewer of the Jerry Springer show. Get this and read it.

Not a book for Cowboy Fans!

All I can say is, if you like the Cowboys, don't buy this book. It's a hard look at the the nonsense that goes on behind the scenes. It will give a good parent chills to think that their child might actually look up to some of those people. A must read for anyone with an interest in the fact behind the front. And remember, just because you disagree with something doesn't mean it isn't valid. Good job, Mr. Bayless.
