It’s amazing to me whenever I say something wrong you are right there to throw it back at me. But if I even say something half way OK, you’re nowhere in sight…
Sure I am. I am smiling to myself thinking “Good job Will. You are coming around.” Now, I put those responses that I do to “expand your universe of thinking”. Not all jobs in pro football, or pro sports in general pay like you think they do, which I know for a fact.
Team trainers (trainers, NOT doctors) don’t get paid that well.
Equipment managers do not get paid that well
Strength coaches get paid decent, but not what you would expect.
They don’t make Hawker 800’s anymore, an 850XP would run about 11 million USD, Joe Buck’s which is a 2000 800XP with winglets added, used to be a Harrah’s Hotel VIP.

They might have something in their contract to cover ‘private aircraft charter’ or ‘1st class airline travel from point to point’. Under the private charter clause, there’s nothing to say they can’t own the plane. If they only got 1st class reimbursement that will cover most of the cost while they and their family or other business associates use the plane to tend to other business or appearances between their broadcasting gigs.
