Those guys didn't get to where they are b/c they're under achievers.  The most televised game in the world and they make very, very few mistakes.

 Some eventually make six figures but they don't starting out.  I believe the game fee for a rookie is around $2500.  Assume they work 16 games that comes to $40k.  Not bad for a "part-time" gig.
