Two years ago Southern California only had one football team -- now they have two. Or three, if you ask Dez Bryant.
"No, no, no, no, no. We are the only team. The only team," Bryant said to a local TV reporter. "Let's not get that twisted. There will be teams here, but we are the only team here. Look at these fans. Oh yeah."
Bryant has a point about the Cowboys presence in SoCal. The Cowboys have held seven of their last eight training camps in Southern California and last month the city of Oxnard -- which is an hour north of L.A. -- approved a two-year contract to have training camp through 2018. The deal also includes a two-year city option through 2020.
As a Southern California native, I have seen many friends and family adopt the 'Boys as their team during the two decades when Los Angeles was without a team. The takeover is very real.
They're already America's Team, one more Super Bowl title -- or even a trip to the NFC championship -- and they could become America's only team.
