On To The Next One: Carlos Dunlap

Maybe Drew Rosenhaus should get a special headline outside of our normal On To The Next One column.  It seems like every week he is bringing a new client into the fold.  The most recent NFL player to drop his agent for Rosenhaus Sports Representation is former Florida Gator, Carlos Dunlap. Dunlap was a second […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (10/29/2010)

Rosenhaus Fired, Hired, And Busy

Yesterday was an eventful day for one Drew Rosenhaus.  He was fired by a client, re-signed a client who had fired him in the past, and negotiated a contract extension for one of his current clients…all in one day.  But such is a normal day for Rosenhaus (minus the firing). The man who fired Rosenhaus […]

Book Review: Next Question

He is undoubtedly in love with himself and definitely believes that he is G-d’s gift to the world, but with all of the criticism directed at Drew Rosenhaus, I must give him some credit: the man tells it how it is.  His clients love him, people that I know in South Florida who have met […]

Think You Are Not Disposable? Think Again

As an agent in a professional sport, you must count your blessings every night and hope that your current clients do not ditch you for the hundreds of hungry agents working while you sleep.  There are more agents out there than potential clients (at least ones that will make you any money), and most players […]

Book Review: GIANT

Right after the Miami Dolphins (I forgot to mention that I sat behind Don Shula on my way to Jacksonville for a business meeting this Tuesday), my favorite team is the New York Giants.  I went wild at Club ESPN in Disney World when the Giants had the miraculous fourth quarter that ended up knocking […]
