    She was probably making in the high 20s or low 30s at her previous job. There’s no reason the Observer would give her a huge raise. I’m guessing low to mid 40s. Does the Observer have a union situation or does McClatchy have a pay scale?

    Seriously. I doubt the executive editor makes much more than that.

    1. Veterans at the paper make decent coin (due to years of merit raises before things went to shit), but many of those are gone now. I heard about a (since departed) veteran entertainment critic who mistakenly left a copy of his pay stub on the copy machine where anyone could see it. Salary: $84,000.
    2. Jourdan Rodrigue is the secondary beat writer, hired last year to replace Jonathan Jones (who left for SI). Joe Person is the main beat guy.

    Looking back, Greek yogurt was the perfect endorsement for Cam Newton.

    Overpriced, bold in flavor and isn't good for more than 7 days in a row.

    I'm not necessarily going to dispute the validity of that tip.

    But if anyone believes mankind is better off in this era where we have to weigh "that" against "if" in an apology ...

    He manned up and did it. The constant judging of apologies I find rather unsavory compared with a few years ago.

    Let's see if Cameron 2017 can offer two good games in a row.

    I'm more offended by his chin hair than anything.

    This is insane. why go to school for 4 years to make this as a NFL beat writer?

    Because you want to be an NFL beat writer. It might be the one thing you always wanted to do. Money is important, but it's not the only thing in the world.

    There are millions of people making less money doing things they truly hate. It's amazing how completely we have forgotten that.

    There are still chances of making more as an NFL beat writer at some other places, such as The New York Times or The Washington Post.
