BillsGuyInMalta Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 The child is now scheduled to hold-out from any press interviews, upon the advice of his new rescuer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Said Cpl. Bob Leben, the deputy who commenced the investigation of the incident: "[Rosenhaus] certainly stepped up." Shortly afterwards Rosenhaus announced that Cpl. Bob Leben will not be reporting to work for the Orange County Sheriff's Department until he can renegotiate his employment with the county.

UConn James Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I'm just surprised that when he hit the water, he didn't scream out, "I'm melting! I'm melting!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 This thread will, in a sense, be representative of Drew's legacy. No matter how much money he gets for his players, it is ultimately HOW he gets them the money that sports fans will remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Before he fished the kid out, he got him to sign on & Drew gets 10% of the kid's lifetime earnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Man, you guys suck. While you all bash Rosenhaus, he saved a little boy's life for crissakes. Think if you were the parent? Jesus, some of you people amaze me. Grow up. Man. I just saw on FOX that the boy was even closer to death than the ESPN article made it out to be. He was actually turning blue and Rosenhaus was screaming, "Hold out! You can do it, kid! Hold out!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in SC Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Drew is very good at what he does, whether we like it or not. Is he unethical - probably. Would I want him for my agent - oh, yes. Would I be grateful that he saved my child (and he did), you bet! Even a jerk can perform a good deed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the orignial poster (and the only one who said publicity stunt), no. I dont think it was one...Its just ironic being rosenhous. If ANYONE would stage a publicity stunt such as this, it would be him. I cant believe that even someone as heartless as rosenhous would not save a boy drowning if given the chance.

The problem I have is more from a legacy standpoint than a "Boy, I hope people like me" standpoint. The question I ask myself every day is simply this: In the end, when it's all over, how will you be remembered? One thing I know for certain: When I'm gone, I don't want one of my clients giving the eulogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the kind of person that chooses to be an agent, be it a sports agent or a lit agent or a talent agent. I don't even trust a travel agent.

But aren't they just doing their jobs - getting the best possible deal for their clients, even if it entails a bit of deception? Sounds a lot like defense lawyers, right? (And, we have a few of them on the TSW, if I recall.) Nevertheless, give Drew credit this time. In his personal (versus agent) role, he saved a child. Good for him!
