Ree Drummond has a new obsession, and it's not a recipe, a kitchen gadget, or even her garden full of dahlias! It's a sports documentary. Yes, really! Over the weekend, Ree surprised fans with a candid confession on Facebook: She's completely hooked on a Netflix series about football.
The Pioneer Woman herself has fallen head over heels for America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys. What started as a casual weekend watch with Ladd quickly turned into a full-on binge session filled with tears, laughter, and plenty of "wow" moments. And if Ree (who admits she's never exactly been a die-hard Cowboys fan), can't stop watching, you know the docuseries has to be good.
"You don't have to be a Cowboys fan to enjoy this," Ree wrote about the show, which dives into the Dallas Cowboys' glory years following Jerry Jones' acquisition of the team. Ree shared that she and Ladd (who, amusingly enough, is an Eagles fan) randomly decided to give it a try—and wound up binge-watching episode after episode, totally "RIVETED."
The docuseries takes viewers inside the high-stakes world of America's Team during the 1990s, spotlighting owner Jerry Jones, his bold bets, and the legendary players who turned the team into a dynasty. Part sports documentary, part drama, the series delivers grit, glory, and plenty of surprises. That includes interviews with football legends like Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Deion Sanders, Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer, and even Jerry Jones himself, all giving an honest and emotional look at a pivotal era in football history.
Ree even admitted to tearing up three times—not because of team loyalty, but because of the powerful stories and sheer nostalgia.
Ree jokes, "Have you watched it yet? Yes, I'm The Pioneer Woman, and I'm recommending a sports documentary. Take that as an indication of how good it is!" 😂🤩
So whether you're a die-hard Cowboys fan, an Eagles fan like Ladd, or someone who doesn't know the difference between a quarterback and a cornerback, Ree's latest Netflix binge should score a spot on your watchlist!
