Dallas, TX – May 16, 2025

HBO has announced a new biopic, Aikman’s Dynasty, set to bring the Dallas Cowboys’ golden era of the 1990s to the screen in 2026. Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio will portray legendary quarterback Troy Aikman, while Brad Pitt takes on the role of iconic head coach Jimmy Johnson, sources told ESPN.

Troy Aikman, the cornerstone of the Cowboys’ 1990s dynasty, led the team to three Super Bowl victories in 1993, 1994, and 1996—a remarkable feat in NFL history. His precision passing and leadership transformed Dallas into a football powerhouse, earning him a Pro Football Hall of Fame induction in 2006. DiCaprio, renowned for Titanic and The Revenant, will capture Aikman’s calm intensity and determination. Pitt, a star of Fight Club and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, will embody Johnson’s commanding leadership and tactical brilliance, which laid the foundation for the Cowboys’ dynasty.

“HBO is the perfect home to tell this story of triumph,” said director Martin Scorsese. “We’ll showcase the heart of Dallas through Aikman and Johnson.”

The Cowboys of the 1990s, driven by Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin, became a symbol of dominance, securing three Super Bowl titles in four years. Aikman’s Dynasty will highlight Johnson’s innovative offensive strategies and Aikman’s leadership, immersing viewers in the emotional highs of that iconic era.

Cowboys Nation, known for its passionate loyalty, is electrified by the news. The announcement comes as the Cowboys, bolstered by Micah Parsons’ 14.5-sack 2024 season, alongside Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb’s 1,208 receiving yards, aim for a Super Bowl title in 2025—a dream that extends from Aikman’s legacy.

“This film will inspire our fanbase and players,” said general manager Jerry Jones. “Aikman’s legacy continues to drive us today.”

Slated for a 2026 release, Aikman’s Dynasty promises to reignite passion for the Cowboys’ storied past, while the current team prepares to face tough rivals like the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium. As Dallas pursues its next championship, Aikman’s spirit looms large.

ADAM SANDLER REFUSES MARRIAGE ADVICE FOR TRAVIS KELCE AND TAYLOR SWIFT: INSISTS KELCE ALREADY HAS THE SECRET
HOLLYWOOD, CA — Adam Sandler isn’t exactly shy when it comes to talking about his long-running marriage to his wife, Jackie—more than 22 years and counting. But when he was recently asked if he had any advice for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift following their engagement, Sandler kept it simple: no advice necessary. Why? Because in Sandler’s eyes, Kelce’s already doing just fine. ***A REMINDER FOR CHIEFS KINGDOM*** On a related note, if you’re a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan and want to show your love for the team, we have epic Chiefs logo merchandise!

He went on to explain his outlook on relationships, hinting that the secret isn’t complicated. It's not about offering the perfect romantic advice or forcing picture-perfect moments. At the end of the day, it’s about being real with each other—something he believes Kelce and Swift are already nailing. “To be happy together, be yourself together,” Sandler said. “That’s where they’re at. And that’s where me and my girl are at.” What might surprise some fans is how close Sandler is with both Swift and Kelce. Back in July, he spoke about his friendship with the pop icon and her relationship with his family—especially his daughters. And it doesn’t stop with Swift. Sandler also made a point to shout out Kelce, the All-Pro tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, for his down-to-earth personality—calling him a “gentle, nice guy” who feels like someone he would’ve grown up with. “He’s like the guys I grew up with,” Sandler said. “When I was with Travis, it reminded me of my buddies in high school and just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say.” Those words carry weight, especially from someone like Sandler, who has made a career out of portraying the kind of friend you’d want in your corner—goofy, loyal, and real to the core. Swift and Kelce, meanwhile, continue to mix their very public lives with moments of surprising normalcy. Just recently, for the first time after announcing their engagement in August, Swift was seen at Arrowhead Stadium cheering Kelce on during the Chiefs’ Week 4 matchup against the Ravens. But this wasn’t some red-carpet moment—Swift showed up incognito, blending in with the crowd, focused on the game and her guy. There’s a lot of glitz surrounding their relationship, but if you ask Sandler, what really matters is what’s happening behind the scenes: two people supporting each other, being themselves. In the end, maybe that's all the advice they need.
