Winning it would be the greatest investment, lets do it eh? That is the thing, if MB invested heavily into the team being a consistent
winner the dough would come back to him big time. I like what they have done in FA the last couple years but we wouldn't be in this
spot most likely if we went a little more out on a limb to get great top FA's.

Also no on the trading Chase part. Rest sounds great. Especially the battleship.

But light beer??? That's a different kind of sick.

Now, if they did a better job getting people into their stadium, if they did a better job selling merchandise, and if they owned, let's say, a 100 million dollar practice facility, these numbers would be much higher.

Don't let their lower valuation fool you into believing that's a reflection of the market size alone.  If you look at the Steelers, who do everything the right way and hold some actual real estate, they're middle of the pack.  So is Green Bay.  And the Chiefs aren't so far behind either.  The Bengals being near the bottom of the league in value is self inflicted.  Whomever were to buy them gets virtually nothing but entry into the league.

Only worse team is the Bills, valued at $2.27 bill.
