just so we're clear, this is the guy who negotiated peppers' contract in chicago well before the deadline, and had peppers announce he wanted to play in a 3-4 to nuke his trade value. Also told him to announce he'd only accept a trade to like new england and someone else (can't remember) to make sure Carolina didn't trade him before he could be signed a second after free agency started. ALSO almost certainly involved in the UNC academic scandal.

Dude's a piece of poo

As a fan I get you; as an agent he sounds pretty damn good to me if I were a client lol.

All agents are kind of not likable, in the business mode. A lot are probably assholes off the job too. Seems like being dissatisfied is part of the job description.

He's an agent. His job is to do what's best for his client. And yeah, oftentimes that runs contrary to what us fans would prefer.

A lot of that is honestly intentional. You're out of the limelight. No one is a fan of you. You can be the asshole and take that heat for your client. It's part of the job.

I think we’re saying the same thing pretty much.

You know he saw peppers as his gravy train, just like those slot machines waiting in hotel lobbies..... I forget how or why but I came across football agents and found most where lawyer-scum bad. Honestly found out that fcuking Drew rosenhaus was one of the better agents scum-wise. He knew in order to build relationships he had to help teams as well.  

You remember master P and that abortion of contract his upstart agent company got for Ricky williams??Lolols.

Lastly I don't get why rookies are going the agent route, yes they could miss out on a local furniture or car dealer coin. But many contracts are set, just get a lawyer to...a smart one to go over the papers and toss him his greedy 500$ and laugh about those paying agents 3% for doing nothing. Even 2nd type contracts, find your equal and ask for the same or 10% more. But Im a cheap bastard....
