There is a HUGE difference between the Atlanta and Buffalo markets. One is home to CNN and Turner Broadcasting. The other has... Empire Sports Network? lol Local news folks in smaller towns like Buffalo probably do start out in the $75k-$90k range. But long-tenured anchors in big markets/national shows absolutely make well into 6 figures.

No. There is nothing but assumption and bad info. But you need to be able to recognize bad info as bad info. However, personally knowing people in the industry, and knowing what some other regional and national broadcasters make (example: Rick Jeanneret's about $250k), I would feel safe assuming on this trivial topic that she makes 6-figures, in the hundredS of thousands of dollars. And that no one of that stature makes less than $100k.

It's far safer and more accurate to assume ~$250k than believe $80k just because it's typed on a blog you can link to. The source is a general knowledge of the employment market in that industry.

Yeah, exactly my thinking as well.

Fair enough. All the sites that come up in google are equally untrustworthy. Just seems way low. I'd expect $175k-250k for a fulltime, national gig. However, I guess if it is only for GMFB, I guess I could see that if it is considered a part-time gig and she does other hosting/tv gigs as well. Like, if the guys are actually doing the research and pre-planning meetings, and she's just showing up for a few hours to read from the teleprompter and keep the topics moving, then maybe.

You mean the wordpress blog?

She definitely makes more than $80k

"Can we talk about pounding for Ed Oliver?"

But there is no way they extend him for LESS than $10M/yr. So with the 5th year, he gets a nice pay bump, the team gets some savings, and both sides get a little more time to work on an extension.

I'd be interested in knowing the average depth of the initial catch for each of those guys. Easy to rack up YAC when you are catching short pop passes and working as more of a RB vs making contested catches 15 yards downfield.

Blaze it!

How did Rock Hill not securing the bonds it promised it would and blowing the funding for the project turn into Tepper screwing people over? Man, I'm the last person that wants to bootlick for billionaires, but this seems pretty straight forward business. Bunch of teams with downtown stadiums are like this. Falcons facility is a good hour (sometimes 2 with traffic) away from the stadium. It's why the Bills were going to keep the OP facilities even if they built a downtown stadium.

IIRC from another recent article, it was the state or city that didn't show up with the funding they promised, so he basically had to send everyone home. They agreed to pay $225m in bonds as part of the deal to secure the project, then after construction began, they back out on the bonds, fail to meet their agreed-upon financing dates, and want Tepper to accept an alternative financing scheme.

Great seeing everyone back. Couple of observations from the pics... 1. It's SNOWING in Buffalo today?!?!? Reminds me why I moved south. 2. The hoodie game is strong in these pics. Lot of good casual wear on display here (Knox may have my personal fav). But Ed Oliver wins Best Dressed!

My favorite feature. Was just raving about it Sunday night.

Browns kinda backed themselves into a corner on this one. With the bad PR signing of Watson, they had to ink one of their homegrown players. Good for Ward for bending Haslam over and getting paid.

They really should start each game with a human sacrifice and the crowd chanting "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", but the corporate stooges are too afraid to offend anyone.

Crazy how being on a floundering 6-10 team in the league's smallest market didnt do as much for his brand as being on a Super Bowl winning team in a major West Coast market with (what was) the league's richest owner. Curious. 🤔

This is PEAK offseason *****-posting. I cant even tell if it's real. Backwards? uh, stand on the other side of the flag?

And if anyone is looking for the watch from this pic... https://www.thewatchbox.com/shop/4604591 You can get a pre-owned for only $87k

Oh, we're supposed to be re-voting? This is confusing.

Still a guess until you call and have the convo.

They reworked the contract, but can get out of it at anytime pretty cheaply (his dead cap hit is $5M next year). Plus, Morse is on the verge of retirement. And is one slap to the head away from a forced retirement. Get the Center who will be with Josh for the rest of his contract.

How do you know what it would cost unless you call and have the conversations? That could be the extent of the "interest".
