according to Brian Williams on NBC news reported last night that Peyton Manning made for every second he is on the field with his new contract with the Colts. just saying..wow...
is that if he plays 60 minutes of every game?
I guess when I think that I'm expensive at $2/minute I should consider.....maybe I'll go to $2.50/minute.
Shoot, probably wasted $5 just writing this !
Did a survey once for a big league pitcher. Figured he could take a fifteen minute nap and more than earn enough to pay for the survey.
Manning isn't paid for his time. He is paid for his expertise, his skill, his ability to achieve a much desired result. It would make no sense to pay him for his time.
Now, how are surveyors different than Manning or any other Professional Athlete?
Shouldn't we be paid for our expertise, skill and ability to help achieve a result? If you answer yes, then why are you asking the client to pay you for your time?
If you work by the hour, then you are asking the client to pay you for your time and not the things that should matter.

60 minutes per game is what i am thinking - I believe it was a 90 million dollar contract for 5 years maybe??
Someone here smarter than me can do the math:-) - I am not even sure of the number of games in regular season
If you broke down
Most pro-sports athletes salary per pitch, at-bat, game...its sickening.
Derek Jeter makes $105,000 per game.
A-Rod = $197,000. per game
CC Sabthia = $718,750 per start
Jason Bay who is an outfielder for the Mets is making $18,000,000+ this year.
He is batting about .238 has 6 HR and 36 RBI's....hows that for ROI?

Joe,
The ROI has nothing to do with the RBI's. The ROI is how many fannies the guy puts in the seats and how the ratings are affected. Certainly it is easier to get those desired results with a high batting average, lots of home runs and RBI's. But it is possible to make people pay attention and attend the games other ways.
Have a great day.

I have yet to see a room full of so-called adults leaping from their chairs and sofas while screaming shouts of wonder and amazement and complete satisfaction by me handing them a final survey plat.

Well I see your point, but I think of it this way.
RBI's = production, which people like, that in turn puts people in seats.
No RBI's, no production.
No production, no fans...

> .. that Peyton Manning made for every second he is on the field with his new contract with the Colts.
And worth every penny. Indianapolis will go about 4-12 the year after he retires. Until then they are legitimate Super Bowl contenders every year. Before they had him the Colts were somewhere between mediocre and hapless since the days of Unitas.
He turned down a higher offer.
Manning was offered 100 million over 5 years by the management but he refused that offer to take the paltry 90 mil over 5.:-O Basically he wanted management to use the money to keep others on the team.:good: Im not an indy fan but Peyton is a class act in my book.
I once had a client who was thrilled to pay me $4,000 for a survey that took me half a day from start to end.
To say he was thrilled may be an understatement. He was building a log home. The logs were scheduled to arrive on a Tuesday afternoon and if he didnt have his banker satisfied in time to get a check to pay for the logs, it was going to cost him an extra $35,000.
At $4,000 I probably under priced that survey. The key being, I did not price my time (ie hourly rates). Instead I priced the value to the client.

I understand very little of what goes on in NY. But that isn't a bad thing. 😉

If you broke down
haha Larry...you are correct..
$312.50 per second
So if you take 16 regular season games, 60 minutes equates to 3600 seconds, over 5 seasons, at $90 million:
16 x 3600 x 5 = 288,000 seconds.
$90,000,000 / 288,000 sec = $312.50 per second.
By comparison, $100 per hour is $0.028 per second.
I feel devalued now. 🙁
$312.50 per second
They must be considering the offense is only the field for half the game.
$312.50 per second
I was considering his presence or potential threat to play at anytime during the game. The opposing offense also has an indirect responsibility to keep the Colts offense off the field. Special teams (kicking game) will do what they can to play field position knowing very well that if they give a short field to a QB like Peyton that they will put their defense in a bad situation. In short, the threat potential is always present throughout the game.
He turned down a higher offer.
Those boy's mother raised them right. I have had the honor and priveledge to meet Archie, Payton and Eli. They are all class acts. Momma don't put up with no foolishness.
He turned down a higher offer.
New Orleans born and raised. 🙂
