Back in the agent business after a lengthy personal detour, Leigh Steinbergs
first new football client is, naturally, a quarterback.
Mike James Buccaneers Jersey . Steinberg has
signed SMU quarterback Garrett Gilbert, the son of former NFL quarterback Gale
Gilbert. Steinberg was Gale Gilberts agent and also represents SMU coach June
Jones. This is the first time Steinberg, the real-life inspiration for "Jerry
Maguire," has represented the son of a former client. "Its the first signing of
the new era," Steinberg said from New York, where hell host a big Super Bowl
party on Saturday. "Its totally exciting to be back in the saddle again. I love
it and next year well do a full draft. "The father went to my alma mater, so its
especially rewarding," added Steinberg, who like Gale Gilbert attended
California. "The genes count." A powerful agent since 1975, Steinberg had an
all-star stable of clients that included many who would become NFL Hall of
Famers, including Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Warren Moon, Howie Long, Thurman
Thomas, Derrick Thomas and Bruce Smith. Known for a squeaky clean image, he
battled alcoholism and bankruptcy, and let his agent certification lapse. After
getting sober and clearing bankruptcy, Steinberg was recertified by the NFL
Players Association last fall and launched Steinberg Sports and Entertainment.
The funding for his new agency didnt come through until November, so with most
college players already having decided on an agent, he decided to focus on
players who would enter the 2015 draft. Garrett Gilbert was an exception.
Garrett Gilbert said his father and Jones didnt necessarily steer him toward
signing with Steinberg but that he discussed it with both of them. "Obviously,
hes a big name and really thats all I knew about him," the younger Gilbert said
about Steinberg. "I knew that he formerly represented quite a few big-time draft
picks as well as some of the top players in the NFL. One of the biggest
determining factors was that everything seemed to fit perfectly in our
discussions and for his plan for me going forward, as well as involving my
family in that decision." Gilbert is currently working out in northern San Diego
in preparation for SMUs pro day in Dallas on March 28. Steinberg said he
generally uses Jones and Moon for input on potential quarterback clients. "June
says that if you take the film from game six in his junior year to this year,
hes played as well as any quarterback in the country," Steinberg. "He thinks
that he has the makings of a franchise-type quarterback. At this point hes not
currently rated in that group." Steinberg said Gilberts pro day can help his
draft stock. "Garrett comes from good bloodlines," the agent said. "He has size
but also running ability. Hes able to be multi-dimensional. He throws
beautifully. The maturation point for many quarterbacks, it all comes together
at the end of their junior and senior year." Gilbert was a highly touted recruit
at Texas who was supposed to be Colt McCoys successor. But he struggled and
transferred to SMU. He put up some big numbers last fall before getting hurt
late in the season. Gilbert is projected as a lower-round pick. "Ive got friends
telling me all sorts of things," he said. "All I can focus on is getting myself
in the best shape possible as well as get ready for the pro day." Gale Gilbert
was a backup quarterback with teams that went to five straight Super Bowls,
losing all of them. The first four were with Buffalo and the final time was when
the San Diego Chargers lost to the San Francisco 49ers, who got a record six TD
passes from Young. The younger Gilbert is scheduled to join Steinberg in New
York this weekend for Super Bowl festivities, so he can get a sense of what the
NFLs about. "Im excited about him," Steinberg said. "This is the process. ...
Wherever he ends up, I think he will end up starting in the NFL." Big on
promoting charitable causes, Steinberg will host his 26th Super Bowl party
Saturday in Manhattan. It will help generate awareness for the Lone Survivor
Fund and include a live uplink to troops in Afghanistan.

. William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan
tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good
with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period.MONTREAL -- It took the
arrival of the red-hot Carolina Hurricanes to get the Canadiens out of their
funk. The Hurricanes came to the Bell Centre riding a four-game win streak, and
sporting one of the best records in January at 9-3-0. But Montreal cooled them
off on Tuesday night, winning 3-0 on the back of a 36-save shutout by
Carey Price and an all-around team effort in front of him. "The team was
engaged," said head coach Michel Therrien, celebrating a Habs victory for the
first time in almost two weeks. "It was a nice team win. A lot of guys had great
games." Coming into this one it was a tale of two teams. The Hurricanes
(24-20-9) had won four in a row and 10 of their last 13. They jumped four places
in the Metropolitan Division in the month of January, good for the final playoff
spot in the Eastern Conference. Forwards Alexander Semin and Eric Staal came to
Montreal looking to extend six-game point streaks. The Canadiens (28-20-5),
meanwhile, had lost four in a row, including a 5-0 shellacking at the hands of
the Washington Capitals on Saturday. Montreal had been outscored 19-5 on their
losing streak, and had given up at least four goals in each of their last six
games. But the Habs kept the opposition off the scoreboard on Tuesday, relying
on two first-period goals, a staggering 27-blocked shots and a goaltender at his
best. "As a group we knew what we needed to do," said Price, who earned his
third shutout of the season. "Theres no question that we talked about it enough,
and it was time to do it. "We played with a lot of confidence tonight. Thats
what it comes down to. It came down to us just willing to win." After a big save
by Price on Nathan Gerbe at one end of the rink, the Canadiens Brandon Prust
scored what turned out to be the winner on a fast break the other way at 6:11 of
the first period. Rene Bourque, who had only one assist since the start of the
year, started the tic-tac-toe play when he found Josh Gorges in the clear to
Anton Khudobins right. Gorges, who finished the game with a team-high seven
blocked shots, quickly dished the puck to Prust, who beat the Hurricanes
netminder with a wrist shot under the blocker for his fifth of the season.
Mike Evans Buccaneers Jersey. "My goals are
usually when crashing the net, going off my leg or something," said Prust. "This
was a good one to get." The Canadiens doubled their lead late in the period when
Brendan Gallagher persistently poked home his own rebound, getting the better of
the Hurricanes in a six-player melee in front of Khudobins net. Max Pacioretty
added an easy tap-in at 1:41 of the second for his 22nd of the year to make it
3-0. Therrien praised his team, but also the way they approached the recent bad
form. "Its really important how you face adversity," said Therrien. "We decided
to stay positive with our players. Its all about attitude. When you have the
right attitude, its always helpful." The game was Carolinas second in as many
nights, and fifth in seven days. The Hurricanes beat the Columbus Blue Jackets
3-2 on Monday, scoring three third-period goals for the come-from-behind
victory. "We seemed to be out of gas a little bit," said Eric Staal, who was
frustrated on three occasions by Price. "You never want to use that excuse, but
we have played a lot of hockey here. "If we were really feeling good and
jumping, we would have had a better attack. But when we did get chances, Price
was real good and made a lot of key saves." Khudobin made 27 saves for the
Canes. Montreal has now won six of its last seven against Carolina at the Bell
Centre. Notes: Before the game, Habs assigned forward Louis Leblanc to the
Hamilton Bulldogs. Leblanc has yet to register a point in eight NHL games with
the Canadiens this season. a Carolina starting goaltender Cam Ward has now
missed 13 games with a lower-body injury. a Ex-Hab forward Aaron Palushaj, who
played 41 career games with Montreal between 2010 and 2012, was in the starting
lineup for Carolina. a The Canes and Habs meet again on Feb. 8 in Raleigh, N.C.,
for the third and final time this year.
