Well, I'd sign up and promote you if that's worth anything.
It's not a handout. You're providing quality content and fulfilling the demand of a fanbase rabid for a true contender. You deserve to be compensated for your work. [Reply]

Alright, fine, but don't be too embarrassing about it. :-)
Go look at other Patreons. You have to have tiers of content....even if it's just two. Have it so if you give more money.....you get early release to content....or shit like that.
Go look at the Time Suck Podcast patreon. Two tiers. $1 just if you want to give money. $5 for if you want access to podcasts for members and discounts on merch. Obviously you don't have merch....but you could offer other shit.

When Pat Mahomes is re-tweeting your content, you are on the edge of something killer here. How many RT's and hits did your gif of he and Andy get the moment Pat re-tweeted it? If he retweets just one of your videos with a link to your patreon attached, you have at least the potential to start getting some steady passive income.
One of my buddies has a patreon, and with respect, his content is not even in the same stratosphere as what you have. It's not enough for him to make a living, but I was surprised at the amount he's able to get through the platform.
It would not surprise me if Pat has already seen some of your stuff (something tells me his reaction is probably different than how previous Chief QB's reacted to your work). [Reply]

The knock on Robinson was that he was....an idiot. The physical skills were never in question but there were serious questions as to whether or not he had the baseline intelligence needed to operate in ANY offense, let alone ours.
I'm not sure that questions i clearly answered but I do think he showed some solid football savvy there.
Except that he ran sideways at the end and. So the refs could have called forward progress and wound the clock. Fouts was screaming at them to do it. The guy who doesn't know the kickoff OOB rule is suddenly all over this one. Asshole. [Reply]

...plus he gained ten yards after the catch. only took him 50 yards to do it.....:-) [Reply]

Eh, Fouts can eat one. Hell of an effort on that play and the only chance he had to stop the clock. [Reply]

Media industry hiring is hot garbage right now. Probably around 20 of the people that I worked with for almost a decade got laid off this year. None of them deserved it.
The current model is "don't pay anyone what they're worth and exploit as much cheap, young labor as possible."
I did get the VP of content for a large sports vertical ask me to make him something for free on Sunday during the game though, so that's cool! I enjoy working for free. Maybe I should just do that and start a gofundme to pay the bills.
why pay for it when there is a line to get their stuff posted for free? Just no traditional market anymore. You should consider developing your own model. [Reply]

Isn't there some sort of copyright law that prevents him from making money redistributing NFL property? [Reply]
