Those four simple words encapsulate an entire era of Dallas football dominance, and it’s time to look back. From Jimmy Johnson slinging iconic one-liners to Deion Sanders highlights and Jerry Jones looking as-fierce-as-ever, “America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys Chronicles a ’90s NFL Powerhouse” is one Netflix documentary we can’t wait to watch.
It premieres on Tuesday, Aug. 19 which should give you just enough time to dust off that Troy Aikman jersey for your first (and maybe second) viewing.
For jam-packed days, these five on-the-go essentials keep us sane:
👜 This stylish + functional crossbody boasts multiple pockets and a soft leather feel for under $35.

👟 When rushing out the door, these slip-on canvas sneakers are our go-to kicks.
🌬️ This styling cream + wand stays in our purse to quickly tame frizz and flyaways that pop up on humid days.
🪫 We never have to worry about dead batteries and missed calls thanks to this portable power bank that can charge up to five devices at once.

The idea of Dirk Nowitzki and the guys from Dude Perfect working together warms my early 2000s heart. I grew up mimicking Dirk’s signature fade away in the driveway for years. And Dude Perfect’s trick shot videos are some of the earliest clips I watched as a kid. Luckily, I don’t need either of their skills to down a few cold beers.
