If, by the grace of God, the Cowboys endure a sustained period of losing they'll be just another team like they should be. Just about all of the pretending frauds will fade back into the woodwork of their respective cities (like vermin, they're everywhere). All of this America's Team, merchandise sales, prime-time TV nonsense will also come to a merciful end. Want proof? See the Boston Celtics example. They were great for a long period of time, got all of the PR, got all the spotlight, prime time TV, merchandise sales, etc. Then guess what happened? They stunk for a long time and then nobody cared anymore -until this year. The Cowboys have a great following because this country is chock full of pathetic, front-running, pretending frauds.

They actually permanently moved camp back to Texas last year, but because of scheduling conflicts with the Alamo Dome, they had to move it back to California this year temporarily. The decision was made based on familiarity and cooler California weather, not because of some Hollywood marketing ploy. And anyone saying this is a big marketing move has never been to Cowboys training camp in Oxnard. Oxnard itself is a middle-of-nowhere town, and the camp facilities themselves aren't exactly suited for Holly. Muddy dirt parking lot, a couple of trailers selling merchandise, and some bleacher seating behind a chain link fence. Not exactly glamorous.

There is precedence for this as the Cowboys have, more than once, held training camp in Oxnard, and before that, in Thousand Oaks. This is actually a good idea, and some fans consider it better for the team, as anyone who has spent a July or August in Texas can tell you that the weather during those months is not exactly ideal for working out in full pads.
