Big kudos to Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown, who, after being disparaged by Lito Sheppard's agent Drew Rosenhaus, essentially told the world that the man is a crappy agent. If Rosenhaus were an exterminator, he'd be trying to kill flies with a shotgun. He's a guy who signs clients based on the promise of a big payday, and if that doesn't materialize, he quickly starts throwing verbal bombs, and this idiot is tired of his act.
In addition to Sheppard, Rosenhaus has a stable of unhappy clients including Anquan Boldin in Arizona and Plaxico Burress in New York. In the clip below, Drew says Lito has to deal with the "disappointment" of being the 3rd corner on the team behind Brown and Assante Samuel.
Guess what Drew, Eagle fans have had to deal with the disappointment of Sheppard being constantly injured for the past 3 years - missing 14 games over the past 3 seasons alone. You want disappointment, try watching William James and Joselio Hansen cover starting NFL receivers and I'll show you disappointment.
In response to these comments, Brown said:
“I think sometimes agents can run players careers,” Brown said. “And what I mean by that is we have an agent who has four players who are disappointed with the way their deal is and we’re going into Week 1 and nobody has accomplished anything with those players. I’m bringing this to your attention because it’s how the players play … that gets you paid.”
If I could sign up to live in a world without Drew Rosenhaus, I'd be happier than Mark Mangino at an all you can eat buffet, but alas, this world does not exist. So now I subject you to Drew anyway........my deepest apologies.
