America's Game: 1992 Cowboys

Just finished watching the NFL Network's 16th installment of their top 20 superbowl teams of all time...

The #5 Team on their list was the 1992 Dallas Cowboys.

I'm an unapologetic Cowboys fan... so I'm not going weigh in on how great the 1992 Cowboys were. I'm only going to say that the team will be looked back on as one of the top 3 teams of all time. The Nucleus of talent - on Offense/Defense and Coaching Staff - is possibly unparalleled.

Anyhoo... back to the documentary.

I'm really glad that they selected the 92 Cowboys. Of the three Superbowl Champions, the 92 Cowboys were the best of them all. The roster and coaching staff - were stocked with an embarrassment of riches.

Like all the other documentaries they've showcased - 3 people from the Superbowl winning team are selected to speak on their championship team.

For the 92 Cowboys - Troy Aikman, Michael Irving and Ken "I'm now a 49'er" Norton Jr. - were selected to reflect on the championship team.

While I have no complaints about Aikman or Irving.... how in the hell did KEN NORTON get selected to talk about the 92 season?

He was an integral part of the 92 defense... but of all the people on the team!

Three obvious people not selected to talk about the 1992 Championship team are -

1.) Jimmy Johnston
2.) Jerry Jones
3.) Emmitt Smith

Were they busy?

Off the top of my head... here are a couple of players that would have BEEN ALOT better to have on the documentary.

a.) Bill BATES
b.) Nate Newton
c.) Jay Novacek
d.) Darren Woodson
e.) Charles HALEY!

Other than that... it was a groovy documentary.
