jason268152 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Joel Segal is the agent for Michael Vick(convicted felon) and Percy Harvin(drug user coming to a police blotter near you) and our own Aaron Maybin! I think this pretty much means the bills are dealing with some real trash! I think agents like this are just worried about how much money they can make and nothing else! They don't care if they have to sell there soul to get it! I would love your opinion on this subject! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Stew Barber and others like him had not screwed over so many players because they could, then maybe the players would not have needed such aggressive agents to protect their interests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOBILLS78 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Its there job to do whats best for there client not there bank account! Those things go hand-in-hand. I know if I played pro baseball I'd want Scott Boras as my agent, even though he's a slimeball. So what, some agents to a great job. Does it make them horrible as people? I don't know if I'd go that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermike Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 What is best for THEIR (sp) client IS to get the most money... am I missing something here? No clue. Sports agents are hired to get the best deal for their clients. And I don't think holdouts or complaining to the media exactly involve some kind of soul-selling deal with the devil. If Joel Segal had hired a hitman to take out Aaron Schobel's knees in order to get Maybin a better deal, that'd be a different story. But I wouldn't say there's any real problem in, you know, waiting to see what the market is before he signs a deal. Annoying, but if Maybin's willing to take the risk, I don't think he's getting bad advice. In any case, I'm paying to see the guys on the field, not the guy in the owner's box. I'm just as happy that they more money than less. I mean, I don't like it when high salaries make us less competitive, but that's a problem with revenue sharing.

Agents are the ones that turned everything into a money issue. The Rookies are holding out and they haven't done anything. I also have a feeling Maybin will be a bust. I wanted Ayers or Orakpo. So maybe I'm biased! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man is territorial from way way back to thefirst fish that cam out of the ocean - he who has the biggest tree gets the best mate and has the best chance to procreate and perpetuate his genes. The biggest tree in modern terms, is the most money. Nothing is going to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
