How much do NFL players make for winning Super Bowl?

Dan Bernstein
 
2 hrs ago

 
As outlined in the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement, players are paid a stipulated amount for playoff games regardless of their role. For example, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady pocketed $56,000 in this year's AFC championship game, just like teammate Matthew Slater did.

But Super Bowl winners do get double the bonus of Super Bowl losers, and while it might not be much to the highest-paid players on a team, claiming a championship can provide a significant bonus for a rookie on the NFL minimum salary, like Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson or Rams defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers ($480,000).

After Super Bowl 53 between the Patriots and Rams, members of the winning team each will be paid $124,000. Members of the losing team each will be paid $62,000.

Super Bowl LIII will have the game’s first openly gay cameraman

While (34-year old openly gay camera operator Scott) Winer is always dressed for the job in drab, unobtrusive colors — grey and black in particular — he has a couple of very subtle signatures to his presence at the stadium.

It all revolves around what he calls the “Magoo,” a viewfinder shade with a magnifier built into it. It’s a contraption he build himself and that he carries with him to every game. On the side of the Magoo he has a triangle rainbow sticker, a small symbol to other LGBTQ people in production that they have a friend and supporter in him.

Winer also often wears Nike BeTrue shoes, which add a tiny rainbow splash to his attire. Being the only out gay cameraman he knows in his business, it’s important to Winer to be subtly visible where he can.

Barstool Sports Founder on Actor's Quip About Brady's MAGA Hat: 'Easy Excuse' to Hate the Patriots

Quote
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy said Saturday that actor Daniel Radcliffe's remark about Tom Brady's "Make America Great Again" hat is just "an easy excuse" to dislike the New England Patriots.

The Patriots will take on the Los Angeles Rams in Sunday night's Super Bowl, New England's third consecutive trip to the big game.

Radcliffe, of "Harry Potter" fame, recently told Variety that Brady -- a friend of President Trump -- should remove the hat from his locker.

The hat was spotted four years ago in Brady's locker during a TV interview.

"Take that MAGA hat out of your locker! I feel like that was the moment when as a country we were all like, 'Come on, dude! You're awesome...Don't put that in here,'" Radcliffe said.

First, congrats to the Pats and their fans.  Well done.

As a lifelong Eagles fan, I truly believe the Saints would have given the Patriots a better run for their money...oh well.

Here's to hoping that this is the last SB the Pats are in, so bored with the "matchup" from the AFC in the contest.

I was hoping for a Saints vs. Chiefs SB.  But the television execs. weren't going to have any of that.  That's why I believe this "game" was fixed.

Pi$$ on the NFL...

I have boycotted the NFL for three year with this Kaepernick nonsense.  This fool and those that followed him know little about this great nation, and I am tired of over compensated morons like him not appreciating exactly what this country has done for them, for their sport, etc.

Went out to eat last night at a Mexican restaurant, and they had the game on.  What little I saw while eating, it had to be the most boring game ever.  This SB has to have the worst viewership numbers ever.  Major yawn.  While I sat there, I did not pay much attention to the game, but I tried to catch the commercial, for which the SB is noted.  Even the commercials were boring.  Perhaps they have done just about everything you can think of in the commercial realm.

While viewership was up this year, it is still not what it once was, and this SB was pathetic.

Consider that the rest of the season was up about 5%, and that's a net turnoff rate for this particular game of about 10%—huge by television standards.

And even a rating that high is one I find suspicious. There's been special sauce and flaws in the Nielsens for a while now.

Want to add another observation about Super Bowl LIII. That was the lamest Team Introduction. No huge fanfare, no dramatic team introduction like the one Kurt Russel did for the Broncos- Seahawk Game. Nope they just ran or walked out of the tunnel, through their normal flaming post and dispersed as the cameras all focused on the Man of the Year Award.

And how many times during the game did you hear the words "Social Justice". The Super Bowl and its ads have become the largest stage for the Social Justice activist and progressive causes.

We were driving all day, in the middle of the desert so no radio coverage, which is fine because we don't much care for Football in general and the SB in particular.  I don't even know the final score, except that the Pats won.

Yawn to you too. Haven't you spoken some time about someone from your own home town in the NFL? Who was rude to you then? No one!  If you were the one who talked about a player from their own home town, then someone is being a hypocrite.

The YAWN was in reference to the game....not to you personally.

I fell asleep early. Did I miss anything interesting during the game?

For awhile, I toggled between the Game and season 2 of MEDICI!

MEDICI ultimately won and it was more compelling.

Lowest-scoring Super Bowl becomes lowest-rated championship telecast since 2009

It was even worse in New Orleans. Ratings were cut in half.

I don't blame them.  It should have been the Saints/Patriots.  At least LA lost.

What was with the deal with the stripping, anyway?  Weird.

@Polly Ticks are you as hot as your Bitmoji or are you taking some liberties with some of the facial composite decisions?

NFL’s Super Bowl hypocrisy denigrates MLK memory
By Phil Mushnick
February 7, 2019 | 11:54pm

Are common sense and common decency dead? Hibernating? Or have both been ruled politically and commercially inappropriate?

Even a Super Bowl TV audience was not supposed to notice the NFL’s latest rank hypocrisy and pathetic pandering.

From just before kickoff of Sunday’s game in Atlanta until the halftime show began, the chosen, beyond-football theme of the game was the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his extraordinary work, legacy, messages and martyrdom.  ...

But at halftime, the NFL seemed to go out of its way — as far as possible — to degrade King and his legacy by inviting two vulgar, N-wording, women denigrating, boasting, no-upside, backward-pointed rappers, Travis Scott and Big Boi, to perform.

Both have made their fame and fortune by promoting and perpetuating every negative stereotype of black America. Don’t take my words for it; look up — or down — their lyrics for yourself.

The NFL invited Scott fully knowing and anticipating that his lyrics would be so objectionable that he was three times bleeped while performing. The NFL knew what it had, knew what was coming — and that still met with its certification as entertainment to over 100 million viewers.  ...

Read an article recently that SB viewership was down 3% this year.

Those things happen when 1/32 (3%) of the league's fans (Saints) get screwed out of a SB visit.  I understand there were very few bars in La that televised the game.  Many chose instead to run the 2010 SB replay  instead.

NFL ....self destructive CF.
