That would be #2 highest valued worldwide in all of sports from what I'm seeing. Now, that's taking what I presume to be outdated figures from all the other franchises and comparing them to this valuation, which is very very recent

Almost every sold team outperforms valuations.

Insert joke about the Pirates' payroll here. I feel bad for those fans.

Things I learned watching TNF.
DJax is a legend and people will still imitate him fumbling before the end zone.
Schefty posted a vid of the Corley fumble from Methstreams. Maybe he uses it or maybe he used someone else's clip. Found it funny.
Hated Stroud last night, felt like he was holding on to the ball way too long. Maybe the Texans are frauds
Wilson needs more deep balls his way, my goodness
Will McDonald is a monster.

Damn Richardson is still only 22 years old (won’t turn 23 until the end of May).

It’s tough to blame someone that was told they’d be a top 5-10 pick & ultimately did end up going 4th overall to stay in school. But his physical gifts pushed him way up the board than where his play level was at. Now he’s in between a rock & hard place. He’s needed the reps the last two years but the NFL isn’t a development league for QB’s especially anymore.

Right or wrong I don’t think teams care if you were a high pick anymore like they perhaps used to. You have a year or two window to show some signs of hope.

QB development is hell. If you're really good in college, you earn yourself a draft spot that puts you in a position where you probably don't have many reps, and due to your draft capital the team needs you to provide returns immediately. There's this unfortunate sweet spot where fantastic physical gifts spell the doom of your long-term career in most cases. They're thrown into a sink-or-swim situation and they didn't have time to learn how to swim, so they're trying to learn as they die.
That’s why you wait for like round 4 or 5 to draft on tools. Problem is they’ll be less investment to get them on the field.
