Steinberg: Threatening Hirst is a cowards actPosted April 7th, 2012 Sports has a history of stimulating overzealous fans and boosters to take out their fury over a disappointing season on a coach or athletic director.Coaches have had their homes defaced, tires slashed, animals killed, children ridiculed because they let down the faithful. We read these stories with the comfort of knowing that the locales are Alabama or West Texas and feel reassured it would never happen here. It only occurs in places with little sophistication and values that are unbalanced. When Newport Harbor High boys' basketball coach Larry Hirst received criminal threats including a note on his wife's car that reportedly read, "Leave, die or go away," after losing efforts in the Sunset League the last two seasons, Newport Beach mirrored West Texas. Rugby player Smith offers Jets potential as tight endPosted April 7th, 2012 When Tim Brewster got the call in February, he was not sure what to expect. Sports agent Jack Bechta phoned the longtime football coach to ask him if he would be willing to train one of his new clients.Bechta explained this client was a rugby player interested in playing football and Brewster had met him years before: Hayden Smith. Molly Fletcher gives athletes a voicePosted April 7th, 2012 After several months of trying traditional tactics to try to sign utility player Mark DeRosa, then with the Atlanta Braves, sports agent Molly Fletcher decided to sweeten the deal. She invited DeRosa and his wife, Heidi, to stop by her office on the way to the field.When DeRosa arrived, he noticed M&Ms on almost every tabletop -- bowlfuls of the chocolate candy every 20 feet or so. Fletcher had learned of DeRosa's love of the candy through a media contact and decided she might be able to move negotiations along by appealing to his sweet tooth. David Falk: Legendary Sports Agent, Locally HeadquarteredPosted April 7th, 2012 The business offices of David Falk, one of the most legendary sports agents of all time, are headquartered in the Chevy Chase Pavilion.Reader mail: Dont blame Drew Rosenhaus for athletes dumb decisionsPosted February 11th, 2012 While I don't disagree with Uncle Luke's argument that agent Drew Rosenhaus should give more back to the African-American areas from which he signs so many athletes ("Luke's Gospel: Superagent Drew Rosenhaus Should Give Back to the Black Community," Luther Campbell, February 2), I do have a problem with Luke using of all people Terrell Owens as an example of Drew not looking out for his clients. Aren't T.O. and the other NFL players Rosenhaus represents adults? Is he hired as a baby-sitter? Is anyone writing columns when we regular folks get bad advice, make bad investments, and end up broke without having had the fun of "living large" as Luke suggests Rosenhaus's clients have? Sorry, Luke, I can't seem to muster any sympathy, much less empathy, for the T.O.'s of the world. It's fine to ask Rosenhaus to give back — he can certainly afford it — but the reasons you cite and the person you use as an example ruin your argument.Nationals media relations manager Bill Gluvna leaves for Boras CorporationPosted February 11th, 2012 For all the connections between the Nationals and super-agent Scott Boras, the most unique came most recently.Last week, Nationals media relations manager Bill Gluvna resigned in order to take a job working for Boras Corporation., where he’ll serve in a variety of roles, including marketing and public relations. He will be based in Washington but work with all of Boras’s clients. Riding herd on agentsPosted February 11th, 2012 In his Jan. 20 Point of View article ("Refereeing sports agents") David Magee proposed a multi-state voluntary consortium or association based on the "footprint" of the Atlantic Coast Conference to self-regulate sports agents. He claims the current system of state laws is not effective because states are strapped for funds and prosecutions of violations by agents do not have a high priority. But the group he expects to participate in the consortium are the same entities that are strapped for funds.Agent Scott Boras says Tigers smart in using draft as trade baitPosted February 11th, 2012 The Tigers used a lot of currency to sign Prince Fielder: $214 million worth.But it's the currency that's green in experience and not on paper that perhaps best points to the philosophy the Tigers preach these days. Sports agents work labor of lovePosted February 11th, 2012 Every pass that Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks' massive hands pull in will mean something to the guy from Niskayuna sitting 12 rows behind the Giants' bench at the Super Bowl.JR Rickert, who along with Rickert's business partner in Authentic Athletix represents Nicks, is a principal at Niskayuna High School by day and a sports agent in the other hours. Nicks is one of the high-profile clients of the agency, though not its biggest paycheck. Last summer, the firm worked a seven-year contract extension for Browns left offensive tackle Joe Thomas worth $84 million, more than half of it guaranteed. NFL Free Agency News RoundupPosted February 11th, 2012 If you thought last year's lockout-shortened free agency was frenzied, this year's just might top it. An unprecedented over-600 free agents may hit the open market as their contracts expire on March 13, according to USA Today.The most pressing question of this year's class is whether the Indianapolis Colts will resign future Hall of Fame QB Peyton Manning. Assuming he is healthy and not retained, Manning would be, arguably, the greatest player ever to become a free agent. Other coveted stars of the class include QB Drew Brees, TE Jermichael Finley, QB Matt Flynn, LB Mario Williams and RBs Matt Forte, Arian Foster and Marshawn Lynch. AdChoices Orioles may find fit with players represented by agent Scott BorasPosted January 27th, 2012 So the Prince Fielder truck rolled along I-95 without ever stopping on the interstate.Well, that doesn't mean the Orioles can't get on the Scott Boras Free Agent Bandwagon before spring training starts. Right-hander Edwin Jackson, the pitcher with the highest upside remaining on the market, is still available. And so is DH/outfielder Johnny Damon, and some other Boras' clients. |
