Collected Wisdom: Drew RosenhausPosted May 5th, 2008 newsok.com As a student at the University of Miami, Rosenhaus befriended Hurricanes wide receiver Michael Irvin, who was among the first to suggest to Rosenhaus that he become a sports agent. Rosenhaus graduated from Miami in three years, then obtained a law degree from Duke. Today, Rosenhaus is the best known agent in sports, representing many of the top players in the NFL. That list includes former Oklahoma Sooners Dan Cody and Tommie Harris. Rosenhaus' affairs in part inspired the popular movie Jerry Maguire, which is about sports agents. Agents handle it all for athletesPosted May 5th, 2008 foxsports.com AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson was charged with failing a sobriety test while operating a 30-foot boat, then resisting arrest before being hit with pepper spray and dragged ashore by officers.Benson faces charges of boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest after the incident Saturday night on Lake Travis, Travis County Sheriff's Department spokesman Roger Wade said Sunday. Benson was released from jail early Sunday on a $14,500 bond. The charges are class B misdemeanors, each punishable by up to six months in jail and a $2,000 fine. A call to Benson's agent was not immediately returned. Not so Great Quote!Posted May 5th, 2008 "It's a humbling thing being humble."-- Former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett on seeing his stock drop as the 2005 NFL draft was approaching. The Broncos selected Clarett in the third round but eventually released him Maxwell Demands Bumper DealPosted May 5th, 2008 goal.com The Brazilian’s current contract, which runs until 2010, see him earn under ₤1.5 million per year – significantly less than many of his team-mates.And the 26-year-old is likely to leave Inter if he does not receive a new and improved deal in the very near future, according to his agent Mino Raiola. “When we arrived in Milan, we received promises from Inter and now wait for them to be kept,” said Raiola in the Corriere dello Sport. “This is why I am expecting a call from the directors to renegotiate the current contract, otherwise it will be unlikely we’ll see Maxwell playing for Inter next season.” Statistical Analysis and its ImportancePosted May 5th, 2008 Part One of a Four-Part Series: An Introduction By Steve Fall Statistics carry powerful messages. In a contract situation – where a slight edge translates into thousands of dollars – they have a huge impact. Whether for free agency, arbitration, or contract extension talks, statistics add serious value. They explain and adjust for context. They serve as a comparative tool. They quantify a player’s contribution relative to his teammates, position, league, or even history. They show a player’s importance to his team. Dolphins' rookie corner Billingsley turning headsPosted May 5th, 2008 sun-sentinel.com DAVIE - Will Billingsley's recent rise from forklift driver to Dolphins signee is the kind of cheesy story line sports movies like Invincible are based on.Much like Vince Papale, a 30-year-old bartender whose journey to make the 1976 Eagles inspired the movie, this former North Carolina A&T safety also must overcome long odds to make an NFL roster. But if Billingsley continues to make steady progress, impressing Dolphins coaches and executives like he did in the eye-opening predraft workout that got him signed in early April, one day his fellow factory workers at ABB Incorporated might be able to brag they once worked beside him. "Been here two days and you're a star?" Dolphins vice president Bill Parcells said with a good-natured needle when he spotted Billingsley doing an interview after Saturday's practice, which featured him turning on the afterburners to bat away a deep pass during 7-on-7 drills. "Keep it up." Suns grant D'Antoni permission to speak with other teamsPosted May 5th, 2008 ktar.com Suns coach Mike D'Antoni has been granted permission to speak with NBA teams, including the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks, according to Sports 620 KTAR's Paul Calvisi. D'Antoni was previously denied permission to speak with any team, Suns GM Steve Kerr told KTAR last week. Kerr and owner Robert Sarver met with D'Antoni for a lunch meeting on Friday to discuss his future with Phoenix, but it was reported a decision would not be made until later in the week. CONCEPCION TO FIGHT ON PACQUIAO-DIAZ CARDPosted May 5th, 2008 philboxing.com North American Boxing Federation super bantamweight champion Bernabe Concepcion’s planned May 17 fight in Aguascalientes, Mexico wont push through and instead he will see action on the “Lethal Combination” fight card headlined by Filipino ring idol Manny Pacquiao and WBC lightweight champion David Diaz at the Mandalay Bay Resort Hitel & Casino in Las Vegas on June 28.Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today learned that Michael Koncz who is reportedly acting as an agent of Concepcion because of his close relationship with Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, informed Concepcion that he would not fight on May 17 and that Top Rank “will most likely put him on the undercard of the Pacquiao-Diaz fight.” Men's Pro Basketball CombinesPosted May 5th, 2008 REGISTRATION DEADLINE: 5/10/08Men's Pro Basketball Combines This is a great opportunity for any player looking to get pro level exposure!

Euro Super AgentPosted April 29th, 2008 goal.com According to Spanish paper Sport ES, the Milan chief has offered a final figure believed to be in the region of €15 million, which is a long way off the Blaugrana's asking price.Reports suggest that the Catalan club will not be willing to let the Brazilian magician go for what the Rossoneri have tabled and thus it seems as if the deal is starting to stumble as neither club can agree on the fee. Premier League side Manchester City are believed to be interested in taking the Camp Nou star to Eastlands, but Ronaldinho does not seem to keen on the idea and super agent Ernesto Bronzetti has in the past stated that Dinho's desire is to play for Milan. Flores is a man without a horsePosted April 29th, 2008 msn.foxsports.com In the space of 48 hours, jockey David Flores went from having two possibilities in the Derby to none.Despite abandoning Bob Black Jack in favor of El Gato Malo for the Santa Anita Derby on April 5, Flores was able to get back on Bob Black Jack for the Derby. But that was before Behindatthebar won the Lexington Stakes on April 19. Flores then had to choose between Bob Black Jack and Behindatthebar. On Saturday, when there was still a very slight chance Bob Black Jack might not get into the race based on graded stakes earnings, Flores and his agent, Brad Pegram, elected to ride Behindatthebar.
