Alright, let’s gab about how much them football talky-talky fellas make, you know, the ones on the TV yappin’ ’bout the game. It ain’t chicken feed, that’s for sure. I heard some of them boys are rollin’ in dough, like, more money than you can shake a stick at.
Big Bucks for Big Mouths
Now, you got these fellas, like that Michael Strahan fella, he’s on TV all the time, yakkin’ in the mornin’ and then yappin’ ’bout football in the afternoon. They say he’s makin’ somethin’ like 20 million dollars a year! Can you believe that? Twenty million! That’s enough to buy a whole lotta cows and chickens, I tell ya.
Then you got your Joe Bucks and fellas like him. He was with that FOX channel for a long, long time, and now I hear he’s with ESPN. They say he’s pullin’ in around 12 million dollars a year. That ain’t too shabby neither. Twelve million dollars, why, you could buy a whole town with that kinda money!
- Top Earners: Some of them top announcers, they’re makin’ the big bucks, I’m tellin’ ya. Millions and millions of dollars.
- Regular Joes: But not all of them are gettin’ rich. Some of them just starting out, they might only be makin’ a few hundred thousand dollars a year. That’s still a good chunk of change, but it ain’t nothin’ compared to them big boys. You know, like 400,000 or 600,000 dollars a year, somethin’ like that. It’s still more than what most folks around here see in a lifetime, that’s for sure.
Football Money is Big Money
You see, football, it’s a big business. These fellas that own the teams and the TV channels, they’re makin’ a whole lotta money. And they gotta pay them talky-talky fellas somethin’ to keep ‘em yappin’. ‘Cause if nobody’s yappin’, nobody’s watchin’, and then nobody’s makin’ money.
I heard tell that Amazon, that big company that sells everything, they paid a billion dollars, that’s a thousand million, just to show the football games on Thursday nights. A billion dollars! Can you even imagine that much money? They got them Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit fellas yappin’ on them games. I bet they’re gettin’ paid pretty good too.
It Wasn’t Always This Way
Back in the day, them announcers weren’t makin’ near as much. But then this fella, John Madden, he started makin’ millions, and that kinda set the stage for everyone else. Now, if you’re good at yappin’ ‘bout football, you can make a whole lotta money. It’s just like anythin’ else, I guess, the better you are, the more they pay ya.
More Than Just Talking
Now, don’t you go thinkin’ it’s just easy money. These fellas, they gotta know a whole lot about football. They gotta know all the players, all the plays, all the rules. And they gotta be able to talk about it in a way that folks can understand. And they gotta be entertaining too, you know, keep folks interested. It’s harder than it looks, I reckon.
So, How Much Do They Make?
Well, like I said, it depends. The big stars, they’re makin’ millions, many millions even. The regular fellas, they’re makin’ hundreds of thousands. But either way, it’s a whole lot more money than most folks ever see. And it all comes down to how good you are at yappin’ ’bout football and how many people want to listen to you yap.
It’s a Good Gig if You Can Get It
So there you have it. Them football announcers, they’re makin’ good money. It’s a good gig if you can get it, that’s for sure. But it ain’t easy work, and you gotta know your stuff. But if you can talk a good game, well, you might just end up rich yappin’ about football.
In Conclusion
Football announcer salaries can vary widely, from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars per year. The top earners make huge sums of money, reflecting the immense revenue generated by the NFL. While not all announcers get rich, it’s clear that a successful career in football broadcasting can be incredibly lucrative. And that’s all there is to it, plain and simple. Now, where’s my tea?
