Even if Olsen is knocked down to Fos'x #2 team in 2023, his family will still be set for life.  Let's stop acting like the difference in MILLIONS of dollars is a matter of life and death here.  Kick me a 1/2 million and I could retire.

How old are you? Unless you're 70 already I don't think you could retire off 500k.

Quote

Olsen will be the NFL on Fox's No. 1 analyst until Brady retires, allowing him to call at least the next Super Bowl.

"That said, from the outside: this kind of sucks!" says Jay Rigdon. "Again, Tom Brady is Tom Brady. Of course Fox would want him if they could get him into this role. But essentially using Olsen in an interim role is not a common practice. Especially for an analyst who has shown a lot of promise and ability already, and who can connect with a younger audience. Moving Olsen up for a year is nice, but it’s going to necessitate the eventual move back down.

There is some downside risk, too; if Olsen is excellent this year and does a memorable Super Bowl, and then Brady joins and struggles to adapt to the new environment, it’s going to be a bad look for Fox. And at that point, who knows if Olsen would stick around long-term at the network that didn’t give him the top job when they could have?"

Hardly any debt and I could finish paying off the house with a fraction of that.  Being fiscally responsible pays off...literally.

After taxes, you probably get around 350,000. If you only spend 14,000 a year. You run out of money in 20 years. Frugal or not. You cannot enjoy life on just that amount. Especially, if you have a family.

 

Me? At my age? Give me the money.

I could set myself up well with that added in with my pension plan.  I'm a year away from eligibility so that would tip the scale for me.

most people don’t have nearly enough saved for retirement. If you do, then you’re way ahead of the curve vs the average American.

I hope Brady's broadcasting career goes the way of Brees.  🐐 or no 🐐, I'm sick of him.

For some reason they think his great career is going to transition well in the booth.  I'm not one of them.  I find Brady irritating to listen too. 

I don't see him as being better than Olsen.  Olsen just has that voice for it.   Very knowledgeable and makes a good team with anyone.

They left for Monday Night Football, which should be a BIG improvement over how it's been over the last so many years.

It should also improve Fox considering how Aikman just drones...and drones...and sounds like he would rather be anywhere else.

Watch em screw around and lose Olsen while Brady bombs...

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By CRA · Posted

      Cards weren't really blitzing that much the entire game.  The ones they sent just wrecked Bryce.  My opinion is you are over fixated on what happened as we got close to the goal.   The one possession we had in the 3rd quarter? That was a freebie to get down there.  It was literally just checkdowns to the TE when we weren't running the ball down... taking up the entire quarter.  Next quarter Cards were inviting the exact same behavior.  Which is why you got those back to back clock eating small ball 14 play drives.  Featuring RB and TE easy catches.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
