Imagine paying $375 million to replace a guy up for his third Emmy in a row

Fox Media has really been killing it, right?  Lots of great and smart choices like that to inspire confidence from the shareholders!

I'm glad its not just Panther fans that see it.  

The only people that don't like Olsen in that job are the people who hated watching their team play him. Years of ex-players that make mute a better option during games make him a stud in comparison.

Brady has minority ownership in the Raiders.

Yea he can't go to pre-game practice or talk with other players. Getting paid all that money but can't do the full job.

Fox should get that money back since he can't even do his job correctly since he is part of ownership.

What I heard fox paid him, I thought it was insane. Then it was explained to me by someone in the business, fox is buying the rights for Tom Bradys time. Theres more than calling a 3.5 hour game with his responsibilities. He's very known and people would pay to meet him, hear him speak, or just be in the same room. It's similar to politicians getting paid to eat or speak at events. Being around a celebrity is a huge deal for many football fans. He's the goat like it or not, fox has many sponsors and having Brady under contract control allows for more favors and most important more money making opportunities.

Right but a majority of those other responsibilities outside that 3.5 hours he literally can't do. Hell even stuff during the game like commenting on calls he disagrees with from the officials he isn't supposed to do. His name doesn't add any value to Fox imo. No one is tuning in to a game they otherwise wouldn't watch for any announcer regardless of name.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
