Jerry Maguire Sports Agent Bags Newspaper Column

Newport Beach sports agent Leigh Steinberg (pictured), whose exploits helped inspire the fabulous 1996 Tom Cruise movie Jerry Maguire, has a new column in LA Times community newspaper The Daily Pilot. It’s called, simply, “Steinberg Says,” and in this week’s inaugural missive, he documents his efforts over the past few decades to get the NFL to take the issue of player concussions more seriously:
