Not having much motivated me. I'm proud to have never asked for anything.

And all of that other stuff, back in the day.

iPhone, Netflix, Doordash, $75 haircuts/purple hair, Starbucks, tats, etc.

You forgot those parts.

I've never been to Starbucks, don't have tats, get my haircut at Great Clips, no iPhone, never used Doordash, only got Netflix one time for Christmas Day football.

I have a brother who always complains about being broke he and does/has all of that shit broke people do/have. Recently he was going on about not being able to afford a house and I asked him if he really needed that brand new Rubicon. WTF? That turned out to be a short conversation.

Me?

We're in pretty great $$$ shape.

There are reasons for that. We are very conservative with money is the main one.

Your ignorance and obsession with anecdotal data is staggering.

(so, so sorry to interrupt the echo chamber, fellas)

It's not anecdotal when it's all over the country. 

Wake up.

Read about the Aikman/Buck feud this morning. On the one hand, I basically don't care. On the other, wow, I had no idea those guys get paid as much as they do ($15M to upwards of $35M/year). That is wild.

[FearlessF]

I assumed they were both dicks, so not surprised.

not real surprised at the salaries either

[MikeDeTiger]

According to the Daily Mail, Buck's new deal with ESPN will be worth $18 mil per year.  Aikman was asking for $30 mil, but dropped his price down to $18, but ESPN still isn't interested so far.  

Also says Romo was making $18 mil/yr before the DUI ousted him.

Says Tom Brady makes $37.5 mil/yr!!! with FOX 

Geez, he isn't worth a third of that.  

Reportedly, ESPN might be interested in snagging Greg Olsen from FOX to do MNF with Buck moving forward.  I'm not sure how they'd be together, but Olsen is my favorite NFL color commentator.

It's weird how much a name adds $$$.  Any NFL vet can do that job, at least the personable ones can.  But random OL X isn't famous.  So they're saying they get more eyeballs due to name recognition.


What kind of football fan is watching due to name recognition of the announcer?  All of it is absurd.
