Kelly the Dog Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 OK, you don't like agents. But aren't they just doing their jobs - getting the best possible deal for their clients, even if it entails a bit of deception? Sounds a lot like defense lawyers, right? (And, we have a few of them on the TSW, if I recall.) Nevertheless, give Drew credit this time. In his personal (versus agent) role, he saved a child. Good for him! (And I do appreciate your "hold out" addition to this post. Funny! 385634[/snapback] I agree with you completely. They are just doing their jobs. I think Rosenhaus, even though he is a collosal prick, is an excellent agent. His players probably love him. He certainly signs a lot. And I have read an article or two saying GMs actually like him for the most part. They say he gets things done. He doesn't waste their time. He knows his job. It's just not a job I would ever aspire to, or want my kid to aspire to. And I think Drew deserves big kudos for his heroics today. I have an agent myself. She lies all the time. And I hate to say this but it feels pretty good when someone is lying for you instead of to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 This just in. Agents are pricks. It is their job to lie. Think of the kind of person that chooses to be an agent, be it a sports agent or a lit agent or a talent agent. I don't even trust a travel agent. 385620[/snapback] I've spent a good part of my life as a sales schmoozer, and an agent simply is selling bodies. But you live by the reputation you earn. I have to wonder how many agents don't like Rosenhaus for adding fuel to the agent perception fire. Seriously. I'd hate to be the Poston brothers watching that Bang cartoon of Winslow with his crash. It's no wonder they have reputations as whores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick in* england Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Man, you guys suck. While you all bash Rosenhaus, he saved a little boy's life for crissakes. Think if you were the parent? Jesus, some of you people amaze me. Grow up. Man. I just saw on FOX that the boy was even closer to death than the ESPN article made it out to be. He was actually turning blue and Rosenhaus was screaming, "Hold out! You can do it, kid! Hold out!" 385586[/snapback] Now that's some of the driest humour I've seen in a looooong time.

Corp000085 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Gave CPR to a drowning 4 year old. I guess agents have hearts after all. Who would have known?

Actually, it is nice to see someone step in like that in a crisis. In this day and age of litigation and overzealous lawyers, there is concern that stepping in could bring huge risk. I'm glad he was there for the kid and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Call me cynical, but this was simply a publicity stunt to get the agent some good press after all of the bad press that's been swirling around him lately. The local radio station was talking about it this morning as well, and they felt the same way. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, though...I decided a long time ago to stop helping people in situations where I could get sued for it. A 4-year old kid's one thing, but I see a guy in a car accident with a bloody head wound...I walk right by him and let him bleed to death. I even touch him, and suddenly I find myself sued over his spinal injury. The most courageous thing Rosenhaus did in this situation is assume the civil liability for the kid's well-being.
