And you thought Scott Boras was the only agent who played hardball. Business Insider has a story that makes his client-luring techniques seem like tiddly winks. Fasten your seat belts. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride:
In an update to the story today, Business Insider alleges that the agent in question was Terry Bross of Gaylord Sports Management. Ms. Jones said that she wasn’t expected to have sex with players, but that she slept with “over 10" guys, a “couple” of whom she believes signed with Bross. She elaborates:
She said she wasn’t paid for it either, so it doesn’t sound like this was illegal or anything. Just, you know, really skeezy. She describes it as “social” and that her job, such as it was, was to be “arm candy.” So there’s that.
I wonder what the agent’s guild or whatever it is thinks about this. I presume that they either find this highly unprofessional or else they think it’s the most brilliant thing ever. Not a lot of room for compromise there.
