yeah, that shocked me too. But BP had a point. Self made man, works by himself with maybe 1 or 2 assistants.
Granted, I wouldn't went as far as bill by saying he is classy, but maybe he was just tired of people picking on rosenhaus over the last few months.

The difference in perspective from we fans looking in from the outside and a guy who has worked with Rosenhaus face to face before and more importantly, the organization will have to deal with Rosenhaus in the future, probably on some TO crap but also with other clients of his.

I could really use the ticket not butting in every 14 seconds with ...."You're listening to Bill Parcells on 1310 the ticket"...................
1. I know what radio station I"m listening too.
2. I couldn't care less.

The problem is that for a guy like Rosenhaus, the owners hate him because he drives a good, hard bargain. The owners will then complain to the media and the media eats it up because it's access they usually don't get.
I've been a Rosenhaus apologist for years. He gets so many clients because he consistently strikes good deals for them, he outworks the other agents, and he takes HALF the commission that other agents do from players.
Where he runs into problems is that so many of his clients are guys that are greatly underpaid playing under their rookie contract. Rosenhaus wants to get a fair deal (I don't recall him ever breaking a team's bank with his demands) and when he doesn't get that fair deal, he'll tell his client to hold out of preseason only to return during the regular season. Outside of Eric Rhett, I don't ever recall him having a client hold out during the regular season. It doesn't help him to do so since he only makes money when his clients are making money. Furthermore, he incurs quite a bit of expense in order to treat and acquire the player to be a client of his.
He's not in the same galaxy as the Postons or in MLB's case, Scott Boras.

I'll start by saying I can't stand the guy. That being said, some respected writers (like King) have said that Rosenmouth is actually a pretty good agent, teams like him (Philly continues to have several of his players on their team), & that he's a good agent. He came off looking like a total jerk & cariacature during the infamous TO "next question" PC, but that's according to people "in the know."
Of course, many of the Dallas media will also say that they think Parcells is a big jerk, so perhaps there's a reason he likes Rosenmouth!

Say what you will about Rosenhaus, but make no mistake, he is the best agent going right now.
Cromartie and Allen should thank their lucky stars that Rosenhaus pimped McGahee into a first round pick and then McGahee panned out else they go the Terrel Davis second day route.

He is a GREAT agent.
That is seperate from "class".
Some people are great salesmen. Lawyers. Athletes. etc. That has nothing to do with "class".
If you have ever seen (heard) this guy speak then you should know what I mean. He's a painted-smile car salesman-type hustler...
only with higher priced (paid) clientelle.
His antics last year on television with T.O. numerous times showed his true colors and only emphasized his phony persona.
