    And their games are on local and national network TV? I'm in shock.

    Pretty sure that deal included a bunch of related parking structures and stuff. Or at least that is what I think they mentioned when it went down.

    I'm comparing them to the other hometown team who said they needed to get a cable deal to make more money.

    Whats up 60 percenter.

    These sports have different television deals. NFL teams do not have their own television deals like the nba and MLB does. The NFL has a television deal as a whole from the tv networks.

    Nba and MLB is broadcast on local tv. That's how their leagues operate.

    Every team is on some type of local cable.

    Wow, we are on #5 on the list. I didn't expect that high ranking. Looks like we will climb to somewhere in top 3 soon, maybe even after next season.

    Congrats Bob McNair and his Houston Texans

    I am pretty sure the tax payers of Houston are not paying a penny unless they are renting cars or staying in Houston hotels.

    For example, the Clippers are nowhere near worth 2 Bil

    Let me tell you how McNair is going to thank the taxpayers/season ticketholders,

    By making them foot most of the bill to tear down the Astrodome.

    Clippers went for 2bil so they should use that as the valuation. How do you arrive at these values. Sports team != normal business valuations so they shouldn't use that.

    Phillies made #39, but STL can't break top 50... surprised. Cardinals are the 2nd greatest MLB franchise all-time.
