T6. New England Patriots: $2.6 Billion
No other National Football League franchise has managed to even come close to figuring out the parity structure of the league as have the New England Patriots. New England has evolved into as much of a dynasty as you will see in the NFL in the era of salary caps, franchise tags and free agency, and the Patriots will be a favorite to win the Super Bowl and defend the team’s championship in 2015. Do not let anything about the “Deflate-Gate” story affect your overall feelings of the franchise. No NFL team is worth as much as the Patriots as of July 2015 and with good reason.
T6. Los Angeles Lakers: $2.6 Billion
For everything, there is a season. A time to be born. A time to die. A time to compete for NBA Championships. A time to say goodbye to a legend, ride out the storm and then rebuild. The legendary “Showtime” era and the days of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal dominating the league on a yearly basis seem like long ago, as the Lakers are now awaiting for Bryant to ride off into the sunset before the club can truly begin to right the ship. The Los Angeles Clippers are the kings of LA basketball at the moment, but those teams will eventually swap roles yet again.
