Rosenhaus Represents T.K.?

He scares meYour next question may be, “Who is T.K.?”  All the way back on January 2nd, 2006, I looked at how Drew Rosenhaus virtually answered every question posed to him at a Terrell Owens press conference with “next question.”  Burger King (and T.K. – The King) now looks to take advantage of the phrase that once captured headlines on ESPN and other sports news services.  On its website, Burger King has a “reel” of what looks to be a new commercial starring agent Drew Rosenhaus [Click on Press Conference after clicking this link].

It is very interesting to see the agent, himself, entering the celebrity arena.  Sports Agents are the people that are hired to get their clients spots in commercials.  With agents gaining more spotlight now than ever before, we may see more agents become stars in the future.  I wonder if Rosenhaus only takes a 15% commission on his endorsement!

I don’t think it’s too surprising actually. The Drew Rosenhaus-TO saga has been one of the most covered sports stories for the past year. I am a moderately avid sports fan. But you have to live in a bubble in the United States not to hear of this guy TO. Also, in today’s pop culture, there’s a show like Entourage (which by the way is incredlbe)where you’ve got an agent with the celebrity/rich/Ari Gold character. Good for Drew. Hope he keeps up the work and gets TO to stop being such a drama queen.

This is just the next step for Rosenhaus. He’s got the agent business down, wrote a book, been on television enough answering questions for his clients, and now the only thing left is for him to be center stage instead of his clients. I think this will only benefit him. Now he can say to his prospective clients, “Hey, I’ve gotten on T.V. myself, I can get you any endorsement you want.” What I’m wondering is why anyone would want a TRIPLE Whopper. I mean three disgustingly huge meat patties? Hey, stack ’em high, tough guy.
