I know as fans we hate seeing this because the team concept of sports almost always transcends this stuff but apparently it ain't gonna be pretty.
The book is called Boys Will Be Boys...The Glory Days & Party Nights of the Dallas Dynasty and it won't be out until September but I heard a short blurb on a local radio show from a writer who got an advanced copy.
It's the usual White House, drugs, party references, along with some Charles Haley and Barry Switzer craziness, but I have to admit it was a little unerving listening to the guy talk about the racial tensions, specifiaclly he mentioned Nate Newton and a nickname that he had for some of the black players that was "anti-white." (didn't say what it was)
I don't have my head in the sand, I've been on college teams, I undertand cliques in the locker room and I can live with players having a get-a-way house for sex....but "if" this existed, it would disappointing.
Maybe my perception is skewed because those guys are retired, some are or will be Hall of Famers and they seem genuinely bonded to each other but If I lived in Dallas I would call Michael's radio show and ask him about it because I could never see him tolerating it.
Probably just another Skip Bayless pretender hack job.
