Please vacate the premises Mrs. Felger (or is it Mrs. Massarotti).

What are these sportscasters paid? 50K/year? Maybe 70? I don't know but I suspect that they earning pedestrian salaries and having to deal with the constant pressure of guys like Wolfe...

Honestly, Fred I respect your posts. But the idea that these guys are like us is way off. None of them give 2 effs about their callers or posters on this website or any other.website. I think Felger and Mazz are worthless d-bags and you know what? That's what they think we are. No harm, no foul.

No, these guys (the full-timers) are drawing six-figure salaries. In Ordway's case, I'd say well into six figures.

It was really too bad, Eddie was an icon and Glenn had no problem ridiculing Eddie on the show periodically with his snide, throat clearing Eddie remarks. I am sure this news last week was sweet music to Eddie's ears. It's your turn to chuckle now Edward.

I believe Ordway was making a million bucks a year.

His salary was tied into his ratings...this link shows that his million$/year contract was cut in half following the Arbitron ratings that year...

Before Ordway got his pay cut due to poor ratings, he was making around a million a year. Radio talk show hosts in morning or afternoon drive who get good ratings make a lot of money. Ordway is a millionaire.

I know the company who put in his home theater and smart home technology in his house (yes, Ordway has a theater in his house) and know he spent close to six figures on those things alone.
