00:00We've mentioned that yesterday, the rankings of the most valuable franchises from Sportico,
00:23obviously the Dallas Cowboys come up at number one.
00:27In fact, I believe their valuation year over year jumped $1.1 billion.
00:35The difference between the Cowboys and the second team on the list is the same as the
00:39second team on the list down to 21.
00:43That is how huge the gap is that the Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in the NFL.
00:49So the top 10 goes like this, Cowboys, Rams, Giants, Patriots, 49ers, and then Jets, Dolphins,
00:56Eagles, Raiders, Commanders.
00:59But the question that got kicked around here is, if the Cowboys are the most valuable,
01:03and they definitely are, why don't they act like it?
01:07Now Corey, I'm going to go over to you first because I really thought this was a great
01:13question by you.
01:15Doesn't it feel like the teams that are the biggest teams in sports will move mountains
01:21to make their team a winner?
01:24Yes.
01:25Look man, we need to get Shohei.
01:27Let's go spend the money to get Shohei.
01:28As a matter of fact, Kevin, since the year 2000, the Dodgers have been as low as 10 on
01:35payroll, but consistently top three in payroll.
01:40The Yankees consistently top one, two, three, actually Kevin, six is the lowest they've
01:47been.
01:48That was in 2018.
01:49Other than that, it's ones across the board in a time, and for that time where it was
01:53all ones, they were a dominant team.
01:57The Steinbrenners would go out and get whoever it was, look at them right now, who hit three
02:02home runs last night?
02:03Juan Soto.
02:04Because they said, is he one of the best players in the game?
02:07Let's go get the best player in the game.
02:09And they went and paid for it.
02:10And here we are haggling with Dak and CD Lamb and potentially Micah down the road, instead
02:16of saying, look, we're going to do everything we can to ensure that we have the best competitive
02:20team on the field.
02:23You know what?
02:24We're going to go higher.
02:25We're going to go draft small because we're a small market team.
02:28No, you are in one of the top four markets.
02:31Are we moving into top three at some point here?
02:33Probably so with the way things are about to turn.
02:36You're in one of the top four markets in the country.
02:39You are the most valuable team by miles, by countries, like you're like that far ahead
02:45of people that you can make these moves and it's not going to hurt you in the same way.
02:51So I don't understand why the Cowboys act like they are poor, like they are scrapping
02:56for pennies all the time, much like Cincinnati and saying, we can't build a winner the same
03:02way as all the best teams out there.
