Congrats, grads!

Billion-dollar sports franchises should pay each team employee comfortably. Yes, there should be entry-level positions to earn your stripes, but those folks still shouldn’t struggle just to live in DC/LA/NYC — or wherever they are.

[Andrew Walker @AWalkerColts]

I call BS.

I made $30K as an “associate writer” for an NFL franchise near our nation’s capital. When I moved up to what amounted to an “editor” role — lead team writer, constant website updates, editor of team magazine, on-air duties, manager of content team …(more)

Allow me to provide a swift dose of reality to this discourse...

The Chargers social job isn't underpaying anyone. A thousand people probably applied for this role. It's a calculated bet and it's asking if the right person will bet on themselves.

12 to 24 months. That's how long the person will be in this role. Go in get reps inside one of the best operations in the league, and come out the other side as a director-level candidate with a resume line that carries weight in every room.

I want everyone in this industry to make as much money as possible. But salaries are decided by the market. Entry level at a pro sports team in a high-demand creative role has always been competitive for a reason.

A harsh reality... It's market rate for what the role actually is... a starting point to launch a career.

Show up, absorb everything, and leave better than you came. Whoever gets the job could likely be a Director of Social in professional sports in less than 5 years and much of that would've been accelerated by getting this role.

… — I got a huge bump to $35K and eventually $40K!

Had my best friend not been the team’s eventual all-time sacks leader, there is ZERO chance I could’ve afforded to live in Northern Virginia/DC. (more)

The notion that Chris Ballard gave Andrew Luck an ultimatum that led to his sudden retirement is … just odd.

We’re coming up on seven years since that shocking decision. It sucked. It still sucks. Move the hell on.

For #OneBallState Day I’m once again donating to the @bsudailynews Travel Fund. Covering road games and events shaped me as a young journalist; today’s college storytellers deserve the same experiences.

@Russellmania621 I feel like most head coaches outside of an Andy Reid and very few others should call plays on either side of the ball. It’s not just time and challenge management; it’s the head honcho staying in-tune to all three phases and leaning on the guys he hired to do the rest.

[Andrew Walker @AWalkerColts]

Colts mortgaging future on Sauce Gardner, to me, signals utmost confidence in Daniel Jones. Would have to hope Steelers game is a blip on the radar. Perhaps long-term deal nearly in place? We’ll see.

[Andrew Walker @AWalkerColts]

Isaiah Rodgers had a historic day today for the Vikings defense.

Not bad for a guy who had to jump a fence to run his 40. COVID canceled his UMass pro day, so he filmed a “virtual pro day” and clocked a 4.28.

The league took notice.

@Tyler_Polumbus When Hard Knocks/NFL no longer allowed playoff teams (from the previous season) to be exempt from being featured on the show, this is the product they get. Non-playoff teams often had more intriguing camp battles, newer head coaches leaving their mark, etc.

RIP Mr. Irsay.

I worked for two very different franchises. Jim Irsay did things the right way.

Each birthday came with a signed card—and a crisp $100 bill. Playoff bonuses and daily meals for non-football staff. Top-notch travel.

He cared deeply about his organization.

Across the league we honor a member of our Colts family.

Our thoughts are with the Terpening Family. 💗
