Comments on: Is Being A Sports Agent Rocket Science? http://www.sportsagentblog.com/2006/04/19/is-being-a-sports-agent-rocket-science/ A blog for sports agents: Discussing sports business news, Sports Law, and other interesting sports related material Sun, 21 Mar 2010 10:32:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Tony Harris http://www.sportsagentblog.com/2006/04/19/is-being-a-sports-agent-rocket-science/comment-page-1/#comment-18003 Tony Harris Fri, 26 Jan 2007 00:23:47 +0000 http://dhpromo.com/blog/?p=83#comment-18003 You are an idiot. I met Major Adams approximately 12 years ago in Houston, Texas. He is an extremely bright man and well qualified to manage the professional career of Vince Young. Prior to becoming an agent, Mr. Adams was a practicing attorney. In your editorial you failed to include the depth and breadth of his experience. He'a been practicing law for 10 years. Do you believe that managing a sports career of Vince Young could be more difficult than representing defendants in capital murder cases? Are you nuts? Moreover, during his career Adams has likely written and litigated thousands of contracts. Also, it common for attorney acting general corporate counsel will retain other counsel. It would be an issue if Mr. Adams didn't retain outside help to assist him. After all, Vince Young's earning potential rivals that of many corporations. Finally, you neglected to mention that Adam's manages his sister, multi-grammy winning singer Yolanda Adams. I believe handling her career would suffice as experience in the "entertainment relm." Next time you write, check your facts. TH You are an idiot. I met Major Adams approximately 12 years ago in Houston, Texas.
