HELP!! im sports illiteratee!!
- what the fuck is going on: did he get drafted? What does promotion to full-time employee mean for a football player?! does he work for the college that he's playing football for?? or, does the company he works for throw full swag drip at their employees , buy them legit equipment? There really aren't any coherent answers for me and all of this

She was an intern for the Colts. Probably a recent or soon to be graduate from college. The team surprised her by having the player hand her the note that would normally be something players would hand her related to her role. She's probably be handed those multiple time a day every day. Instead of it just being whatever it's supposed to be it was letting her know she's now a full employee of the team.

u/skitz4me Sep 03 '26
I'm kinda playing devil's advocate, but at some point I was under the impression that upvotes and downvotes were meant to express value of the content instead of opinion of the content (super gray area). If that is the case, then downvoting things you think are obvious actually aligns with that, right? Like, "this isn't adding value". Idk, just a thought. Maybe not valuable, but the downvotes will tell. Lol.

u/BrainJar Sep 02 '26
For me, I know what the intern does and why this is cool. So, I didn’t upvote the question. But then the response is well reasoned and states the necessary information to answer the question. So, the response gets an upvote, because I agree with it. That’s my personal thing…I don’t know why I do this, I just do.

u/EchoesOfHighHrothgar Sep 01 '26
On top of this, the player (Tyler Warren) really doesn’t like doing media, so he often “ignores” her or gives short answers. For his birthday, he was gifted a “get out of media” jail free card, which he immediately cashed in 😂 he’s a solid dude, and him being the person to do this makes it that much better.

u/tankerkiller125real Sep 02 '26
Usually not the case to be unpaid, the rules for unpaid internship are so strict and so tight (or at least they are in my state) it's generally just way easier to pay them, even if it is minimum wage.

Tyler Warren notoriously dislikes doing media stuff. So it's a sort of running bit that he ignores the social media team (including this girl).
A bit of an inside joke that he delivered the news.

It was an OWI, they found him passed out in his car. It's not clear if he's going to be criminally charged because there's no evidence he drove his car. He's probably going to get away with it, slapped on a diversion program or something.

I hate how the colts have been treated after Peyton Manning left the team. Colts deserve to at least be a playoff team. Yet time and time again they get shutdown by the NFL. This promotion shows that they care about their staff including their players and deserve another chance with a playoff run #nflgiveemanotherchance

I worked in the front office for an NFL team and everyone spends a lot of time with the players. It was a cool environment to get to interact with everyone. Players are basically coworkers that you see every day. I would eat lunch with some of the players. You literally park next to each other.

u/articulating_oven Sep 02 '26
Ya NFL front offices have hordes of people trying to get in the door, so they typically pay on the low end of what you'd expect for equivalent corporate jobs. And may have some game day duties, but do get some great bonuses if the team does well. Especially Super Bowl well.

Traded a big cache of picks and signed a man accused of 26 counts of sexual assault to a almost quarter billion dollar fully guaranteed contract. Best part is he's terrible at football and the qb they let go is better than league average.

u/OnTheEveOfWar Sep 04 '26
Yup. I made $10/hr when I worked for the team. Was an awesome experience but they do not pay front office employees well because the demand is insane. I won’t say what my role was but you would be shocked.
2
u/OnTheEveOfWar Sep 04 '26 edited Sep 04 '26
Cons:I got paid basically minimum wage while surrounded by guys making millions per year. I also worked long hours especially on game days and during OTAs. I lived in a hotel with the team for a month during OTAs.
Pros: watched practice everyday, helped out in the locker room and weight room, was on the sideline during games. Tons of free swag. I still have so many jerseys, hats, jackets, shirts etc. Standing on the sideline near the players/coaches during a home game when the team scores a TD in a full stadium is a pretty insane experience and worth the minimum wage.

In case people don't know Tyler Warren. (The man with majestic hair) had a press pass card that she gave him earlier this year of a "media can't talk to me card" that he used on her. It's kinda his thing. So this was very special for her.

u/Personal_Career7057 Sep 02 '26

u/North_Atlantic_Sea Sep 02 '26
Tyler Warren, one of the colts best players, really dislikes being highlighted in the media. He doesn't enjoy interviews, photos/videos, or really anything related to media. Not the people specifically, but participating in it.
Because he is contractually required, he still does it occasionally. As a joke for his birthday, the media team gave him a "get out of media" card (think "get out of jail" Monopoly card).
Because he still actually likes the people on their media team, he participated in this, because he'd be a surprising person to her to give her such news
