    Who knew? Seriously, I have been hard on some agents, particularly the Postons and Drew Rosenhaus. Everything else equal, if I had to pick between a couple players, their agents could easily break the tie. I am so glad Dallas passed on Shawne Merriman in the draft with the problems that the Chargers are having with him and his agent.

    But....as much crap as I dish out on him, and as painful as it may be for me, I have to give him his due. He does have some feelings. Hats of to Drew today.

    In the new logo that emblazons the front of the T-shirts often worn by the few employees of Rosenhaus Sports Representation, the "S" is large and exaggerated, reminiscent of the famous crest worn by Superman.

    On Tuesday afternoon, for one imperiled toddler, NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus, who collects superhero figurines as a hobby, became a real-life Superman.

    Orange County (Fla.) Police confirmed that Rosenhaus, acting quickly in a moment of crisis, saved the life of 4-year-old Maurice Hill, who had essentially drowned in the pool at the Grand Floridian Hotel in Orlando. Rosenhaus administered CPR to Hill, who had no pulse when he was yanked from the pool, until paramedics arrived and took over the treatment of the youngster.

    "He basically brought [Hill] back," said Cpl. Carlos Torres, public information officer for the Orange County Police Department. "The kid was gone and [Rosenhaus] saved a life. It's legitimate. Who knows how it would have turned out had he not been around? The guy was a hero today."

    Said Cpl. Bob Leben, the deputy who commenced the investigation of the incident: "[Rosenhaus] certainly stepped up."

    Hill was transported to Celebration Hospital, where police said he was listed in stable condition. Hospital officials did not immediately return messages, nor could the Hill family be reached. A spokesperson at the hotel also confirmed the events.

    Rosenhaus was in Orlando for an appearance at the ESPN Club and to meet with some of his clients. He took a short break from business to honor a promise he had made, to take his girlfriend to the pool, when the incident occurred.

    "When I was in high school, I was a lifeguard, and had learned CPR," Rosenhaus said. "In a situation like that, instincts kind of take over, I think. Let me tell you, this is the happiest day of my life. To save a little boy like that, who has his whole life in front of him, it's incredibly gratifying."

    His quote: "It feels good to be the good guy for once".

    I heard some funny stuff on rome of people blasting him for it.

    "He was only trying to suck the silver from the kids fillings"

    "He is now representing EMTs who are holding out because they are outperforming contract"

    "It was great he saved him, but did he have to charge hospital 3% commision on the sugery?"
