No. The measure is the VALUE of the business and Mikey has his team's value in the bottom 2 or 3 in the league due to his approach to running it. If the Brown family were to sell today they would receive up to 1 Billion less then they would have if they had run it better. And, BTW, if they had run it better they would also make more money annually - more demand for the brand and product.
Katie once said 'running an NFL team is really hard" which is a ***** joke, it is the easiest business to run. the Revenue side is all but guaranteed and the highest part of your expenses (player salaries) are capped and capped well below the guaranteed revenue. The NFL is a business gift.
No 'normal' business has guaranteed revenue and capped expenses - you have to fight for revenue and control expenses.
