Announcers getting PAID

3074326

Adios
Al Michaels will be on Amazon now. He signed a three year deal for $10 mil/year. He will be joined by BP’s favorite Buckeye - Kirk Herbstreit (wtf??), who will also still do gameday. Al Michaels will also do a playoff game for NBC.

Mike Tirico will take over for Michaels on NBC. Herbie’s deal is rumored to be 8 figures.

Troy Aikman and Joe Buck will be doing MNF on ESPN. Aikman signed a five year deal worth $90 mill. Haven’t seen the details of Buck’s contract, but it is said that they’re paying them around $30 mill/year for the pair of them.

Firstly, why is Amazon sinking $20 mill/year into Thursday Night Football’s announcers? Insanity.

Secondly, more than half the country is living paycheck to paycheck and these dudes can all go get fucked.
