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.
