How much more would it be worth with a QB and a GM
Oh and a #1 WR who is not hitting his mom

$1.85 Billion for a team of misfits and criminals! I wouldn’t buy them if I had $500 Billion

A lot of people don’t realize, the reason some of these teams are worth so much is because they OWN their stadiums. The Jerty Jones owns his billion dollar ego house. Bob Kraft own Gillette. Dan Snyder owns Fedex Field. You know all those sponsors that pay to have naming rights? Yea, all that money goes to the owners pockets. All that parking you pay to park in stadium lots? Goes into the owners pockets. On the flip side, many teams like the Steelers, etc do not own their own stadiums so their values are less.

Packer fans love calling themselves Americas Team hahaha. Seriously? That’s the Cowboys’ title. Not even top 10 in valuation so go take your self entitlement and fake stock elsewhere.

____

No kidding, hahaha. You’re not America’s Team unless you’re lining some billionaire’s pockets! Stupid Packers are a non profit so they don’t have some rich guy messing with personnel. I’d rather root for the #1 team in monetary value that hasn’t even been to a Super Bowl in 17 years. America loves Jerry Jones!

Whatever you think about theoretical values prepared by Forbes or any other “valuation specialist”, the simple fact remains that a team is worth what someone will actually pay for them which means the $2.175b just paid for the Dodgers makes them the most valuable franchise in North America. Until the Yankees sell this year or next.

The Eagles are left out again from the NFC East? Aren’t they left out in another category regarding the NFC East?

It’s slipping my memory at this time.

you can get arrested to even just yell at a family member. I’m not going to go crazy before further details comes up..

but I will admit, that I had hoped for a year without any Dez Bryat troubles.. But ofcourse, the other ones was all media hype only! come on, how can you make baggy pants a big deal? he just left the mall after they told him to.. with no complaining at all.

The more important statistic is how much is the debt of the Cowboys?

If the team is worth $1.85 billion, but has a debt of $1.5 billion, it’s only worth $300 million to Jones.

The Glazers are typical of this. They put United so far in debt buying the team, the actual worth of the team minus its debt is very small.

The value of English Premier League soccer teams will skyrocket in 2013. The English Premier League’s new television deal is worth 70% more than the last one.

Skins #2 in the NFL with a POS stadium. Go figure.

Oh wait, LiL Danny owns his stadium outright. Besides PigFace does Kraft and Mara/Drunk co-owner own their stadiums?

“But I thought the Packers sale of fake stock would make them the most valuable sports team … LOL”

Stock is there so the local population can keep an NFL franchise in the smallest market in the league… not sure it was ever intended to make the money Jerry Jones types swim in when taking a bath.

Isnt somethings value the most obvious when its sold? The dodgers sold for 2B…does that just mean the new ownership group overpaid? But even if they did, isnt your value what someone will pay, not necessarily what youre “worth?”

So America’s Team is built on marketing. The Dallas Cowboys are an NFL team trying to live up to the hype. I doubt that makes life easy for the players as say… playing in Buffalo or Charlotte where fans just aren’t all that intrigued with the drama of the NFL.

Players are drafted. They come from everywhere. Fans are homers. Jerry has reached out to more fans around the map than any of his colleagues. He’s a bidness man.

It hit its peak time to sell Jerry. Roger us going to ruin the game

I gave this a thumbs down because it just sounded like another one of these “the world is ending, America is going to hell, the NFL ain’t what it used to be, were all gonna die” comments.

Then I saw the username and wish I would have gave it a thumbs up

Do the Redskins have a lot of fans or something?

Not hating or anything serious question. I live in Chicago so obviously its mostly Bears fans, then Packers. But as far as teams not from the area you will see Cowboys, Giants/Jets, occasional Eagles or Patriots. It just doesn’t seem, like their would be nearly as many Redskins fans nation wide.

Compound interest always surprises me. The return rate of 140 million to 1.85 billion seems like a huge return, right? Well, really, over 23 years, it’s actually only 11.75%, which is about a percentage point or two better than the stock market on average. Crazy, but important lesson here folks. Save as much as you can, and over time it will really add up. Pay yourself first, put money in an account you’ll never touch. Acquiring wealth has little to do with your yearly salary, it has to do with the little decisions to save and invest where you can.

—————————————————

Cowboys have been consistently been one of the most valuable franchise in NFL, at least under Jerry Jones. That statement is 100% false and 200% stupid.

Ex: Cowboys were #1 franchise (1.5 billion worth) back in 2007.
http://www.forbes.com/lists/2007/30/biz_07nfl_Dallas-Cowboys_300988.html

Haven’t been worth less then a billion since 2004 and 923 million was still good enough for 2nd!

The fact that post got 70 likes shows how much PFT has an irrational hatred of the Cowboys.
