As if sports agents were not already looked at in a shady manner, the San Fransisco Chronicle picks up the slack and hammers into your skull just how ruthless many of my colleagues may be [A TEMPTING BUSINESS].

Welcome to the first installment of Role Model Clients. The posts under this heading will not have its own category, but will be placed in the Philanthropy category instead (I decided against doing a separate Honorable Clients of the Week column).
