Aikman's Take: Jones' Grip on Cowboys Doc

0:00On March 21st, the Dallas Cowboys documentary America's team, the gambler and his Cowboys, came out over seven months ago, centering on owner Jerry. Jones, Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Ackman, mostly praises it for capturing the team's story well. He points out one issue though. Jerry Jones held the editorial rights, which could let him shape the narrative his way. Ackman spotted another small problem in the old game footage. Some clips played out of order, tweaking the timeline of events in a way only diehard fans might notice. Still, Ackman calls these just minor nitpicks and says the film gets the big picture right. Most viewers have enjoyed it and picked up new insights about the Cowboys era. Questions linger about how much control influenced the final cut, but for now, it stands as a solid look back at the franchise's wild ride.
