No One Discussing Boldin Firing Rosenhaus?

I think this is big news. Does anyone else agree?

It is good to see that at least one of "Oil Slick's" clients is seeing that this guy's advice might not be all that it's cracked up to be. I don't know, maybe holding out every year, demanding to be traded, alienating the organization you work for -- as well as your peers -- isn't such a good idea afterall. Kudos to Boldin for figuring this out.

I'm thinking of a certain latino themed, gold toothed jackass who might stand to take a page out of Anquan's book. Might do 'em good.

Has anyone noticed that almost all of Rosenhaus’s clients are always on the trading block and they are all disgruntled? How many of these guys have actually been traded in the past few years. Perhaps, the teams are all boycotting him and making life hell for him and his clients.

Rosenhaus is only as ...

… slimy as his clients allow him to be. He’s a product of many players’ selfish, all-me-me-me nature (esp WRs). Someone as mentally-stunted and power-selfish as Chad Johnson was an easy target for The Oil Man. But Chad will pay the ultimate price. He could have been as endeared as an Anthony Munoz in retirement. Instead, he’ll be a ex-athlete with no connection. He will probably leave town as maybe the most hated athlete in Cincinnati sports history.

I would like if Chad were to fire him as well.

Would changing agents change Chadly’s ego and attitude ? Would humility be a topic of discussion and consideration ? Would OwNo come to understand team first concept ? Would his focus be on helping the team win vs. the HOF jacket ? jumping into the dogpound ? Proposing to a BenGal ? Forgetting it’s fourth down when he runs out of bounds to stop the clock ? Having another halftime blowup in the locker room ? Don’t get me wrong. I’m not defending the agent. I just think they are two peas in a pod. They deserve each other.

Athletes are Puppets

They do what they’re told to do. That’s what they’ve done they’re whole life. That’s what they’re good at and it’s all they know.

Though I agree with you that it’s probably somewhat in CJ’s nature to behave the way he does, I’d argue that the worst thing in the world for him is to have some scumnuts like Rosenhaus encouraging more of that behavior. Not to mention, I’m sure CJ could stand to hear less of “Oil Can Boyd” telling him how underpaid he is and how the team needs him more than he needs the team, etc, etc.

Most of these guys have the maturity levels of 12 year olds. I’d lay claim that much of Ocho Psycho’s antics can directly be attributed to The Grease Ball.

I’m just glad that at least Boldin figured out that agents work for the players. It’s not the other way around.
