Sheldon Brown hits out at Drew Rosenhaus
Eagles fans, we may have a little situation brewing...
In his latest youtube video about Lito Sheppard's, status Drew Rosenhaus made some comments that could, in a way be construed as a swipe at Sheldon Brown
Now (Sheppard) has had to deal with the disappointment of the team starting Sheldon Brown and relegating Lito to being the third cornerback on the team," Rosenhaus said on the video. "It is very frustrating for Lito."
Now, like any Eagles fans Drew Rosenhaus is certainly not on my Christmas list... but honestly I don't see that as a real big insult to Sheldon. Had he said Lito has to "deal with the embarassment" or "disrespect" of being relegated to the 3rd corner behind Brown... then those are fightin' words. The fact that he singled out Brown and not Asante Samuel is curious however. That's really where I can see a few eyebrows raised.
Still, whether I think it was a swipe or not isn't relevant. What does Sheldon Brown think?
"I wouldn't say it bothered me, because I'm bigger than that, I'm a professional ... Drew hasn't been with Sheldon Brown for 7 years; I think he's been with Lito for 2 months. He hasn't followed by career. He hasn't broke down any film; he probably couldn't tell you what number (Brown wears). It's really irrelevant ... (from watching the video) you would think the guy has been scouting tape and know(ing) the statistics and following us our whole career. A lot of times, people should just worry about their (own) jobs."
First, anyone who reads the blog regularly knows I love when Sheldon refers to himself in the third person... Clearly, Sheldon Brown is annoyed that Rosenhaus is talking about Sheldon Brown. In fact, it prompted Sheldon to wonder why Lito would have ever hired the guy in the first place?
"If you know (Rosenhaus') track record, it's more of a disappointment to me that he enticed the guy into signing with him," Brown said. "Thinking that he could get the deal done. Agents don't get the deals done. The player gets the deal done. That's what's disappointing.
The whole thing really did play out like a high school drama. "Sheldon, did you hear what Lito's friend Drew said about you?" "OMG Lito, do you agree with what your friend Drew said about Sheldon?" When Lito was asked about the comments he said he hadn't heard them. In fact the quote Les Bowen got was "(Bleep). What did (Rosenhaus say)?"
I'd recommend you check out the rest of Bowen's piece to hear what else Lito had to say. Long story short though, you can tell the whole thing made him very uncomfortable.
Something has to be done about this and it has to come from the top. Andy Reid needs to get Lito in his office and work something out. If it means getting rid of him, so be it... But the last thing this team needs, or Lito should want is a player's agent making taking even veiled swipes at a team mate.
How about one final thought from Sheldon Brown?
“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.”

Why is he trying to sabotage our season, he is such a creaton.
I wish something embarrasing happens to him, and puts him out of business. You know, get him in trouble with the law.
Maybe some pictures surface of him getting drunk at some party with 14 year old girls. Something that would just end his career. Can we implicate him to any notoriouscock fighting ring. Maybe some kinda illegal gambling, some thing that would put him out of comission.
This dude is king of the Turd people, You know what Drew, YOU SUCK DUDE. Just go away.
Hey Shawn Andrews (if your reading this), tell your boy Lito, he has a pooper scooper of an agent. And if wants to go, he can leave next year. Play well, then cash in your chips hommie. And tell him to just, OTHERWISE, JUST SHUT UP AND PLAY BALL DUDE.
If you wanna win a ring, stick around, play well and enjoy the ride. If you want to lose for the rest of your life, keep begging to leave. And do us a favor and TO yourself, so the Eagles can make you pay back your signing bonus for beach of contract. Then you can get your POOR underpaid, always injured but out of town and play for a Loser link Tampa,
Maybe Howard Eskin will be willing to do another funeral, many will be willing to bury there 26 jerseys.

it’s fine even if it doesn’t make sense … it can be like a cryptogram. Not sure there are as many 26 jerseys as there were 81s but I can’t fault Lito for this one Rosendouche must be a cowboys fan this guy is always messin with us.

I think there’s only one moron in this situation bro. And what the fuck was the deal with his YouTube video… did anyone see the background? Was he doing this telecast from Hurricane fucking Gustavo? Maybe it took his ass out for us…

Anytime I hear an agent use the word "endure"
I just want to toss my cheesteak! You “endure” kidney stones, you “endure” the summer in Phoenix, you “endure” a youtube video of Drew Owenshaus. To hear him describe Sheppard’s plight, you’d think the poor guy was going through chemo. Drew buddy, you’ve jumped the shark, soon you’ll be pimping Tonya Harding on second-rate MMA undercards.
You sleep with dogs, you get fleas. Lito must be feeling mighty itchy these day.

ya know… i’ve really had enough of Rosendouche and I think Sheldon makes some great points by saying that players that want bigger contracts look to Rosendouche as a savior, but he doesn’t seem to be doing too well with that…
still tired of him though. I’m not the type of person to wish for something bad to happen to someone, but ya know…. just sayin
maybe Drew should take a scenic trip to a South American country… they love rich looking American tourists there… i’m sure some nice militia army will gladly emmm look after drew for a few years…

Why is he negotiating through YouTube?
Are the communities of NFL fans who post trash talk videos to each other the ones who are going to give Lito a new contract?

I'm gonna post on Youtube
In the video I’ll ask/cry for a raise from my boss, eventhough I took a sick day off every week. Instead of being thankful that my boss kept me around, I’m going to tell him that I want millions…NOW.

I would be pissed if I wer sheldon also. i would take that as disrespect. He basically said Lito should be starting in front of him and it’s a slap in the face that he isn’t. I hope sheldon has a tremendous year so he can tell rosenhaus to shove it up his ass.

What was that? A special team? Us? The Eagles?

Yeah, I really like Sheldon’s personality. The whole third-person thing is kind of quirky, but I think he has the makings of a good leader and generally conducts himself in a very professional manner. (And I think he said after the TO fiasco he was going to go back to his old college and ask guys not to sign with Rosenshit)
Plus, even though they didn’t win the game, every Eagles fan will remember that hit on Reggie Bush :-)

Can you blame him. Man she's smoking hot. If we all could be Reggie for just 1 hour,
In some of our cases, just 3 minutes….Let me get a cold drink and take and air break now just to catch my breath.

honestly bro i don’t think she’s anything special… and do a google image search on her and find one without the clown make up… she’s a train wreck when she doesn’t have her team of stylists and make up douches.

i actually laughed out loud at my desk when I read that… that was funny man. I guess that’s what lights are for. I’d just have to make sure I woke up before it was light outside and left for work before she woke up.

Watching Sportsnet and JJ said that he thinks all 3 CBs will play 60-70 percent of the time. He said he expects Sheldon to play both RCB and Nickle and the same for Lee-tow … Whodie126 is cool with that how about you Sheldon and more importantly Lee-tow
