Drew Rosenhaus - in The Public Eye

In The Public Eye

In a profession known for generally operating behind the scenes, Rosenhaus is distinguished among his peers for his many prominent public appearances. He serves as an analyst for Sprint Exclusive Entertainment, giving Sprint customers inside information on the wheeling and dealing going on in the NFL. Rosenhaus is the only agent ever to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He also was featured on HBO’s Real Sports and Inside the NFL. Rosenhaus is one of the most recognizable agents who deals with professional football athletes. However, reports of an arbitration filing against him by his Vice President, Daniel Martoe includes allegations of rule violations, financial troubles, and fraud.

Rosenhaus was interviewed about the University of Miami for the documentary The U, which premiered December 12, 2009 on ESPN.

• Rosenhaus's autobiography, A Shark Never Sleeps: Wheeling and Dealing with the NFL's Most Ruthless Agent was published in 1998.

Movies:

• Rosenhaus appeared in the movie about professional football, Any Given Sunday, released in 1999.

The character Bob Sugar from the movie Jerry Maguire was reportedly based on Rosenhaus.

TV:

• Rosenhaus appeared as himself on Arli$$, a comedy about a sports agent. He appeared as a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman in the weeks preceding Owens' suspension from the Eagles. He is also a weekly contributor on "Sports Xtra", WSVN's Sunday night sports wrap-up show.

Rosenhaus appeared in a "This is SportsCenter" commercial, with Scott Van Pelt and Neil Everett. The three appear at a cafeteria, and Rosenhaus asks the cashier. "How much for me and my guys?" The cashier thinks, and says, "23". Rosenhaus says, "Well what if I guarantee that we'll be back tomorrow, give you an option for Friday, and throw in an incentive for some chocolate pudding?" Van Pelt whispers to him, "I want sprinkles, too?" Rosenhaus says, "Sprinkles as well," to which the cashier responds, "17." Rosenhaus replies with, "I can only give you 15." The cashier accepts this, and as the three walk off with their trays, Van Pelt says, "Rosenhaus strikes again."

Burger King parody:

• In 2006, Rosenhaus was in a television commercial for Burger King, in which he appears as an agent for the burger chain's mascot, The King. The commercial was a parody of the Terrell Owens public apology in November 2005. When reporters ask questions regarding the size of The King's head and other questions, Rosenhaus responds repeatedly with the line he used in the Owens press conference: "Next question."
