Maybe it is nicer to hear this from a "sports babe", but she is just echoing comments which have been made for nearly 20 years.

And to be honest, if my math is correct, even with a weekend off during the season and working just 16 games during regular season, $8K a game is a pretty healthy paycheck for seasonal work.
