Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are a National Football League team based in the city of Irving, in Dallas County, Texas. The Cowboys joined the NFL as a 1960 expansion team. The team is sometimes referred to colloquially as America's Team due its having a large number of fans who live outside its immediate local area (the term itself is derived from the title of the team's 1979 highlight film). The Cowboys are one of the most successful teams in the history of the NFL, holding the record for the most Super Bowl appearances (8), and tie the San Francisco 49ers with the most Super Bowl wins (5).

Broadcasters

The Cowboys has also a rich history of producing well-known sportscasters over the years: the most famous of which is Verne Lundquist, who served as voice of the Cowboys from 1972 until 1984. Bill Mercer and Frank Glieber also were Cowboys announcers from the early days of the organization until Lundquist's arrival as a color analyst. Verne's new analyst, Brad Sham, joined him in 1977, became the new play-by-play announcer in 1984 and has been with the Cowboys ever since, except for a three-year hiatus between 1995 and 1998 (when Dave Garrett was the play-by-play announcer). 2005 will be Brad Sham's 26th year with the organization; 18 of those years as play-by-play announcer. Babe Laufenberg is the color analyst, and Kristi Scales is the sideline reporter.
