About The Doomsday Legacy
The Doomsday Legacy is an independent publication dedicated to the history, stories, personalities and continuing legacy of the Dallas Cowboys.
​
Our goal is simple: tell Cowboys stories worth remembering.
​
That means looking back at the players, coaches and moments that built the franchise while also examining the Cowboys of today. Some stories belong to history. Others are happening right now. We believe understanding one often makes the other more interesting.
The Doomsday Legacy takes its name from the Cowboys’ legendary Doomsday Defense of the late 1960s and 1970s. That history helped shape our name, but our coverage reaches across the entire Cowboys story: every era, offense, defense, special teams, players, coaches, front-office decisions, drafts and the modern team. The name honors one defining part of the franchise. The publication explores everything that belongs to its legacy.
Through Legends Spotlight, Cowboys Time Machine, Legacy Lens, game coverage, commentary and current Cowboys analysis, The Doomsday Legacy explores more than scores and statistics. We look for the stories behind them.
​
The Doomsday Legacy is an independent fan publication and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Dallas Cowboys, the National Football League, or their affiliated organizations.
