How many Giants' players make less money than Carrie Underwood for singing the Sunday Night Football song?

I'll take some responses before exposing the answer
The fact that Keith Richards has outlived Richard Simmons, sure makes me question this whole, "healthy eating and exercise" thing

And that song is awful.Always hated the various Are You Ready for Some Football songs. Just so over the top.

Here's something I learned today. The SNF song is an obvious re-arrangement of Joan Jett's hit song "I Hate Myself For Loving You". Joan Jett plays guitar on the Underwood song that you are hearing so she may also be getting paid more than some of our guys.

Al but 8 of them I bet. Only the star players make money now of which there are lke 8 a team, the rest are bottom roster Special Teams types

She makes more than every player except Jones. 10 million more tha Burns will make this yeas, 12 million more than Dex, and 8 million more than Thomas

She makes 1 million per week (18 weeks) and shoots all of the 18 songs in one sitting for the year. And she doesn't even have to worry about a concussion or broken bones

I'm sure there are people who can explain it, but how is it worth it for NBC to pay her $18 million for this? Unless she's writing the lyrics herself, what are they getting from her that they can't get from anybody else?

At this stage, why not just go retro and have Joan and whomever's left of the Blackhearts do it like the old days. Country rock of the 90s was fine, in the 90s. Hard Rock need not be infiltrated by other genre, thank you very much!

Peace!

Because Joan Jett is 68 and the youts of today have no idea who she is while Underwood is a pretty 41 year old that even her non-fans at least know who she is.

FTR JJ looks great for 68.

Is the song not always the same minus when she says which 2 teams are playing? So she probably just records that part 17 different times and they just re-dub it or whatever.
