Do you ever answer anything? Or do you just resort to empty obfuscation?

This is ridiculous.

The "questions" about Sanchez hiring his brother where based upon an entirely false premise. They are, by definition, illegitimate. He has outside advisers, he isn't flying by the seat of his pants.

I've never seen someone whose entire posting schtick relies entirely upon tautology, outside of Believer.

I'm a "child" because you say I am. You refute nothing. You speak in vagaries and offer no support for any claim that you make.

Sanchez hiring his brother is a legitimate concern because he his brother isn't qualified and he has no other help, even though he is and he does.

I don't know where you learned rhetoric--check that, you obviously didn't--but when people make claims, they support them with evidence. That's why we link posts here. That's why we seek outside sources.

Again, you must have a serious reading comprehension question.

A baseless question is not a legitimate one.

Mark Sanchez is an idiot for hiring his brother who is some guy off the street as his only representation is the same level of idiocy as "Aaron Curry ****s tabby cats."

Absolutely, and it might have been a stroke of genius on the part of Sanchez. That is entirely possible. As I noted, I don't see anything wrong here at first blush. However, it's still open to questioning. Hell, people make assumptions/evaluations even when players choose established agents.

Can you even explain to me what you think my logic is? At this point, I'm not sure we're even debating the same subject, but I could be wrong.

Are we not talking about the riskiness of players and the likelihood that certain players will flame out? Consider this a concession because I'm so confused now, I'm not even sure what the original point was.

Two separate times you said "you and Hamas and company". To anyone with any shred of dignity, that looks like you're lumping me in with them. Don't assert that that wasn't your intention when it clearly was. However, in the interest of not furthering this pissing match, I'm done commenting on it.

Even if his brother were an agent, I don't think it is wise to hire them. Agents need to be advocates, but also be able to distance themselves from the situation.

Doctors are told to never operate on their own family. The risks are too high, and their decision making is clouded by emotional connections.

Agents have to be pro athlete at the table, but objective away from it.

How objective would a brother be?

Also, it isn't just the one thing. It is a mixture of things.

It is blowing off Carroll and his parents when they advised him to stay in school. This is the biggest thing.

It is also hiring his brother as an agent.

And, even though he didn't get charged, the fact that he was even accused of sexual assault has to at least raise a question in your mind.

Again with the circular reasoning. His logic is terrible because it's terrible.

That's ridiculous. Please, offer some substantive evidence or get the **** out.

That's this dupe's schtick. Doesn't address the actual issues, lacks reading comprehension, disputes any and everything, doesn't backup assertions with details and/or evidence, resorts to name calling and generalizations, etc.

Here we go again...... at this point I feel like I'm picking on a reeruned puppy.

Who's Sanchez' agent?

Is he related to Sanchez? If he is, is this a potential problem?

Has he been a football agent before?

In all his years of experience as this agent, how has he done for his clients?

Read the posts. That's what you accused me of not doing even as you weren't reading them, remember?

Passin' By just sent me a PM that accused you of enjoying shark pron.

I'm sorry, Sensible, but this has raised serious questions about your character.

You don't ever wonder if a holdout could be about a player blindly obeying an agent holding out for another 100k in his pocket? How much happier is that extra half a mil going to make a player compared to getting to training camp on time?

I can't think of a better advocate for someone than a family member. I highly doubt he's going to try and screw over his own brother for an extra few K in commission by signing him to a bad deal, he's definitely no more likely to do so than John Q. Agent.

My god, the annals of sports history are littered with predatory agents who screw over their clientele for their own personal gain.

I'm sorry, I don't feel the need to read links.

Is he a lawyer? Yes.

What do most lawyer's do in their jobs?

Does he have outside advisers? Yes

What do those advisers do? Represent professional athletes, including NFL quarterbacks.

But yes, I'm sure that Nick Sanchez will just sign over Mark's soul with a big X since he has <del>no legal experience and no one else to fall back on for advice</del>

See: Scott Boras, Drew Rosenhaus, Hadley Engelhard.

Mark probably trusts his brother more than anyone else.. I don't see a problem with that.

Again, if it were ONLY that... fine.

But, it ISN'T.

I don't know this kid... all I can do is form opinions based on what I know of him.

He didn't listen to his parents or his coach about going back to school.

He hired his brother, and he was at least accused of sexual assault.

Now, that all fits together in my mind.

Perhaps these are three isolated incidents that don't show the full story. But, there are THREE things I am looking at here... not just one.
