    That is what is left on his deal -- he signed a five-year extension for 35 million in 2022 -- it's not per year. So he made 15 mil the past two years alone. At 55, I think almost everyone could make just that last.

    I totally agree. I never wonder how anybody can walk away from a huge amount of money, at least when they've already gotten a lot of it. That's exactly when you can walk away.

    And those high school war stories are the ones you go on to tell your kids and grandkids, not how you covered the Super Bowl and talked to Patrick Mahomes in a media day scrum for 10 minutes.

    Woj speaks the truth. You aren't truly a sports journalist (in my eyes, anyway...) until you've hacked out 15 inches in 15 minutes - with FULL stats at the end - soaked to the bone and then trying to get the 7-11's pay phone to connect properly to your Trash-80. Having performed that minor miracle hundreds of times, it is indeed WAY WAY WAY harder than any other facet of journalism I've experienced.

    My career would have been much the poorer without covering high school sports. So many great stories. A little hypothermia thrown in, but so what?

    The people in the biz for the right reasons will be telling those high school war stories to their kids and grandkids. The people in the biz for the wrong reasons will forever brag about being in the Mahomes scrum even though they got nothing out of it.

    Do you think Woj ever cost some kid a scholarship?
