4. The fact that the Texans are on there shows what a dumb metric that is
Doesn't seem indicative of much.
The big rock candy mountain primitive must not like Texas; the avatar's the state flag of New Mexico or somesuch lesser state.

5. I'd Like To Know What Assumptions Were Used
I have a hard time believing that any U.S. teams are worth more than Yankees, NY Giants, Jets, Dodgers or Bears or Cubs.
The Texans are worth more than the NY Giants? I'd strongly question the factors that went into the metric, which as you said, is highly questionable.
