🏈 With the NFL kickoff ahead, let’s crunch the numbers:

To watch every NFL game today costs roughly $1,514/year ($126/month)

Research is showing sports TV went from 3% to 6% of monthly take-home since the 90s - while real wages stayed fairly flat.

📊 U.S. Wages: Nominal vs. Real (1990–2025) This chart compares nominal wages (actual dollars paid) with real wages (inflation-adjusted to 2025 dollars). • Nominal wages nearly tripled from ~$21K in 1990 to ~$69K in 2025. • Real wages, adjusted for inflation, rose far more slowly — from ~$52K in 1990 to ~$69K in 2025. • The gap shows how inflation erodes purchasing power: more dollars in your paycheck doesn’t always mean higher living standards. ⚖️ Takeaway: Even in a growing economy, wage growth in real terms is modest. 📑 Sources: • U.S. Social Security Administration – National Average Wage Index (NAWI) • U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics – Consumer Price Index (CPI) (via Federal Reserve FRED) This image is a line chart titled “% Pay Spent on Sports (1990–2025).” It illustrates the increasing share of monthly take-home pay that Americans spend on watching all American football games, including NFL and college football, over a 35-year period. The blue solid line with data point markers represents the actual percentage values, starting at about 2.89% in 1990 and rising steadily to 6.02% in 2025. A red dashed line indicates the overall trend, showing a clear upward trajectory in sports spending as a proportion of income. The x-axis displays years from 1990 through 2025, while the y-axis measures the percentage of income ranging from 2.5% to 6.5%. This visualization highlights how costs related to sports viewing have grown faster than take-home wages over this timeframe. Data sources include analysis of average U.S. salaries, sports package costs (cable, NFL Sunday Ticket, streaming), and tax rates consistent with information from the Social Security Administration and Bureau of Labor Statistics .

Bull’s looking a little nervous today, Senate’s scrambling to dodge a government shutdown by 11:59 PM ET tonight. In better news markets seem to be bouncing back a bit:

Dow at 41,488.19 up 1.65%
S&P at 5638.94 up 2.13%
Nasdaq at 19,704.63 up 2.49%

Is it time to buy the dip?
