Rosenhaus is a loser

[Row 67]

"Five days away from full minicamp at Halas Hall, the Bears can only wait to see if running back Thomas Jones and linebacker Lance Briggs show up. Both Drew Rosenhaus clients walked away from the offseason workout program shortly after it began in April -- Jones when he made it known he was receptive to a trade, Briggs after negotiations on a long-term extension collapsed. "-- Chicago Sun-Times

Rosenhaus is a loser. He does absolutely nothing but disrupt team chemistry by playing on the selfishness of the players. He props up their egos then convinces them they can get more money by holding out. I'm all for negotiating to get more money, but there are ways to do this that don't disrupt teams the way Rosey does it.

Eventually, teams are going to have to get tired of this circus and not give in to it. Players will continue to pull this crap until team management lets a few of them rot and other teams become wary of signing players who are a known holdout risk. I don't know what the breaking point will be, but when they hit it, these tactics will be abandonded like failed tantrums of a 2-year-old.

Rosenhaus does appear to be quite the jerk, however, the players still have the final say in what they do. He has earned a certain reputation in the NFL now so the players that hire him should be well aware of what he will be asking them to do.

FYI:

Rosen**** is generally referred to with an altered eponym. The first five letters of his name may be appended with any offensive or demeaning word.

Thus Rosenpoop or Rosenjerk but never Rosen****.

It is a small yet meaningless way to challenge the way he does business.

[Guiness]

I didn't know he was still playing this game.

Over the last two seasons, he landed some big names, and tried to change the way the NFL does business. I think he came close, but ultimately he failed. I guess he's just trying the same thing with 2nd tier talent - he doesn't know enough to admit he's been defeated.

Did TO fire Rosenass or did he hang on? Walker fired him, so did Grady.

....PLUS, remember, these are players from the Bears. IQ has to be taken into consideration.

Rosie likes to be in the spotlight, many times at his clients expense. He now has a bad rep, and is losing top notch talent because of it. Karma anyone?

This is news?

I agree with you 007. Rosenhaus is very good at what he does, helping clients get the most out of their situations. Yes he has failures, but more often gets them what they want. And should he care about his image in the eyes of the public, no. Should he do what he can for his clients, yes. Do the clients have the last word in how it is done and when, absolutely. Rosenhaus has some clients that never hold out and aren't a problem.

No, it's not. Here's some news for ya though. It's "two for one" night at Loopy's tonight.

but he also seams to have 90% of the troubled ones as well

Drew is just misunderstood.

Drew is just misunderstood.

What kind of kick are you on today?? I would bet if I were to start a Nazi thread you'd say the same about Hitler.

Well we're comin off a holiday weekend, so Harlan's brain is still clogged with malted hopps and bong resin. He'll snap out if it by tommorrow.
