these are the most fucked up rankings i’ve ever seen. kraft is a total greedy douche bag. no way does he rank #1 in any poll except douchebagdom. Green Bay is hands down #1. Rooneys and Maras rank right behind. Do your research TBL.

Ok how the hell is Jerry Jones that high? The cowboys haven’t won a playoff game in how long? Jimmy Johnson has way more to do with the 1990′s Cowboys than does Jerry Jones. Top 10 no way on earth he can be ranked that high!

Ralph in the top half is a joke. Zero playoff appearances this millennium. I was expecting him near the bottom. He was a key figure in the growth of the AFL but I dont see how that is relevant in 2012.

If Angelos wasn’t last, I’d cut off heads.

Surely he would be somewhere in the last two.

I mean that you would have to account for the massive advantage people like Steinbrenner and Henry have, unlike in football. Winning percentage alone wouldn’t cut it.

I don’t mean that to be snarky, even if it comes off that way.

Whatever, you totally meant to be snarky. You get that way every time you wear those terrible shorts.

And if I worked for Forbes and wrote one lengthy piece a week or you had pay pal’d me a week’s salary, I would have done that. I don’t mean that to be snarky, even if it comes off that way. Only honest. With more time, I would do more research into things like attendance.

I’m assuming with minor league teams, independent league teams, semi-pro teams, and beer league teams there are more than that. So too high.

Then he led the rest of the owners to collude in 2010 and artificially suppress the salary cap. #33

Hey Lisk… would you consider doing this for baseball? I’d like to see that list. Especially because ownership matters even more in terms of success in MLB.

Artie Moreno would have to be Top 10 and Bottom 10.

If you’re ranking ownership you should look at the overall organizational operation and not focus so much on the performance of the team. Rising ticket prices, merchandising, attendance records (although I believe pretty much every team has sell outs) overall team profits, etc.

Wilpons would definitely be last. Mark it down.

I think about 8-10 owners could tie for #32 and leave blanks from from 22/24 to 31.

I am trying to bury 45 years of mostly horrendous memories, and Benson was responsible for many of those, especially with his immediate post-Katrina behavior.

Why do you hat umbrellas’ so?
