Drew Rosenhaus, T.O.'s Agent.

[Mr. Scot]

"Next question"

I've read more than one person who knows Rosenhaus privately say he is every bit the prick he appears to be. No great secret that the characters of Jerry McGuire and Bob Sugar were based on Leigh Steinberg and Drew Rosenhaus.

I've said before that I believe the reason why there isn't the kind of bad blood between the Panthers and Rosenhorsesass as you see with other teams is that Marty Hurney isn't an egomaniac like some GMs. He doesn't get into pissing contests. He negotiates contracts.

And before anyone suggests it, no, the Peppers thing isn't a pissing contest. He's doing what's best for the team there.

Of course he is, but if it was a pissing contest then peppers lost.

Peppers - I don't want to play here anymore.

Hurney - why

Peppers - I'll prefer not to say.

Hurney - ok, well your staying. Though I'd let you know, that I have no intention of trading you and here's your tag. Have a nice day and enjoy.

Peppers - dang. (gets up and leaves)

HAHAHAHHAHA Rosenhaus called TO's ONE YEAR 6.5 MILLION DOLLAR DEAL A LUCRATIVE CONTRACT...HAHAHAHHAHHAHA.

Hey Drew...if MULTIPLE teams are interested in "the player" the way you publicly claimed, you think he would have signed for ONE YEAR in BUFFALO a mere few days after he was cut? Tell me another whopper, big guy.

I tried to read his book many years ago. I am the type of person who will give a book quite a bit of time before I give up on it. I got to the end of ONE chapter and his jocksniffing wannabe ego was so out of control I couldn't make it any further.

Say what you want about the guys personality but he is probably the best agent in the NFL (at least from the players side). Look at all the huge name huge contract players the guy is representing.

[Fireball77]

Yes he's a good agent (I never said he wasn't), but he's a massive turd.

Rosenhaus works for the players, not for the fans or owners.... HE does what they want him to do, Morgan was not interested in a media fiasco and wanted a fair contract so Rosenhaus got it done quietly, TO and Boldin are more interested in media frenzies and tabloid clippings and he is doing that for them.... If I was a player, I would want nobody other than Rosenhaus as my agent because I know he is going to get the max he could for my services.
