The Vikings have invested plenty of cash into the franchise and have very little to show for it. Not just at quarterback (sorry, Tavaris), but also in the stands. The Vikes are 26th in attendance. (AP Photo/Jim Mone)
Did you know that the 2007-08 NBA season marked the 40th anniversary of the Bucks franchise? If you didn’t, don’t sweat it…few people know. It makes sense that the Bucks would be ranked next to last in NBA team valuation. (AP Photo/Morry Gash)
Based on numbers alone, Fred Taylor has been an elite running back for the past 10 years. He's amassed over 10,000 career yards, and didn’t make it to a single Pro Bowl until last season. You should have no problem buying a ticket to a game though. Nearly 20,000 seats are empty each week. (AP Photo/Ed Betz)

From 1992-2001, the Tigers made the NCAA tournament four times. 2005 was their first losing season in 50 years. And still, Princeton is taken for granted because the Tigers play in the Ivy. When you compare the numbers with the major schools, you realize it's time for the brainiacs to get some respect. (AP Photo/Jeff Zelevansky)
Lets face it. As much as people complain about Chad Johnson’s antics, there would be no reason to follow the squad without him. All of the touchdown theatrics in the world can't raise the franchise's value above 20th in the NFL. (AP Photo/Al Behrman)
The Thrashers have the 22nd worst attendance in the NHL, a little over 15,000 per game. Actually, that's not too bad for Atlanta. (AP Photo/John Amis)

Barry Sanders, one of the greatest running backs of all time, retired early because he could no longer put up with the Lions' losing ways. At least the "Motor City" has the Pistons to get behind. (AP Photo/Lenny Ignelzi)

The Rays lead the AL East by percentage points, but are at the bottom of the barrel in stadium revenue at $138 million. They simply cannot fill seats. (REUTERS/Scott Audette)
Once a storied franchise, a one-win season has seen the Dolphins value quickly drop to 15th in the NFL. If a talented No. 1 draft pick and veteran coach turned executive VP can't get things going in Miami, you can expect the Dolphins stock to hit rock bottom. (AP Photo/J. Pat Carter, File)
