With the 11th pick, your Minnesota Vikings select...

How do you know they are driven to win a SB? Rather, how do you know they are driven to go to crazy extremes to win one?

I actually think they wanted to, for about the first decade of their ownership. They gave Childress ever resource he wanted - poison pill contract for Steve Hutchinson, lots of FAs, bundle of money for Favre - but it fell short. Then they entrusted the franchise to Spielman. Leslie Frazier and Christian Ponder crapped out and they decided to give Spielman patience. He did a slower build, got this team seemingly into a "window", and they were hot on the idea they would play in a SB in USBank! They wanted that so bad they approved the stupid trade for Bradford. Even after that fell through, they gave Cousins the huge contract. But then it fizzled. Yet they kept just letting the Spielman/Zimmer train roll until - what? Two years in a row without making the playoffs. That is apparently the line below which the Wilfs will not tolerate. Pretty low bar, isn't it?

The problem is that if the Wilfs have lost the desire, what would stop them from keeping their ownership? The franchise earns them +$115M every year. Why not just keep it at a decent, if not championship, level?

If Taylor and Travis weren't dominating the Super Bowl storylines, maybe someone would do a story about how it's odd that a league proud of its parity has a team with 3 championships facing one with 5 championships, but over 1/3 of the league's teams (12/32) have won zero championships. A lot of the no-champ teams - especially Minnesota, Buffalo, Cincinatti - have had shots and you could argue many of these have followed the right process. Maybe the Wilfs just decided it was either fixed or too random and even trying so hard was pointless.

Minnesota isn't one of the no championship teams. We were NFL champs in 1969. 

Well, you aren't up on NFL history. "Titletown" refers to the fact that they have won more NFL championships than any other team, but then whats 13 NFL Championships/Super Bowls?

OK, I'm sure many if not most Packer fans include their 4 victories in Super Bowls - or 2 if you want to claim that the pre-merger ones are not Super Bowls despite their inclusion in the numbering and general consensus opinion of the world - in the labeling of Green Bay as "Titletown". What does that have to do with my observation that their high number of championships does not correlate to an increase in their franchise value or annual profit, as you challenged me to investigate?

In fact, my use of "Titletown" indicates I did recognize their pre-merger success and I am "up on NFL history". 
Didn't you think anyone would notice you attack the witness' credentials and pivot away from the core issue (in this case, whether winning championships improves team value/profit) when you can't respond to it directly?

It's kind of surprising to see almost $400M difference between the highest and lowest teams. Imagine if there was no salary cap.

And the Jets aren't either. Technically, they aren't Super Bowl Champs. You can't be the champion of league you didn't belong to.  They are NFL/AFL Championship winners. Says so right on the trophy. Those first 4 games are not really "Super Bowls" See, they were two different leagues, two different sets of rules. No profit-sharing between leagues. Hell the AFL even had the two-point conversion. And people today think that's something new. It's one of my pet peeves about those 4 years being called Super Bowls.
