Any chance Dak brings this list to the negotiation table?

 

[thatsbaseball]

His picture was literally at the top of the article . So yeah.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

The University of Alabama didn’t make the list? Fake news!

 

[thatsbaseball]

Are they a franchise or a cult ?

The Knicks? *

 

[Tall Dawg]

I’m selling on the Knicks....
They haven’t been worth 2 craps in a long time...

Crap and a half on a good day.

Surely dak and his agent are smart enough to know about the salary cap.

Steve Ballmer paid $2bn for The Clippers half a decade ago... If an Auction broke out on the Cowboys, it would take $10bn to win it.. Some PE Fund would snag it most likely.. Seems ridiculous at first, but yes the Cowboys are worth at least 5 times the Clippers. The problem is the NFL will only let a team carry $350 million in debt, so it makes it almost a pure cash buy. $350 million might be too much debt for the Chargers, but the Cowboys probably pull that off of tenant rent at their practice facility.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Washington Redskins in the top 25 and over the Pittsburgh Steelers?

I'm a Broncos fan and can't figure how they are above Pittsburgh either. Clearly, I have no idea how this is calculated.

1. Dallas Cowboys ($5b)

FYI, Jerry Jones spent nearly every dollar he had to buy the Cowboys in 1989........... for $140 million!
Not a bad investment.

 

[Lildoggy]

Amazing that so few baseball teams are on this list.

 

[maroonmania]

Amazing that so few baseball teams are on this list.

Baseball has really become a regional sport to the cities that have teams. Heck, I can't remember the last time I just sat down and watched a whole MLB game that wasn't a playoff game.
