“Loyalty is one of Favre’s most endearing traits.  When famous  player agents wined and dined him after his senior season at Southern Mississippi, he stayed true to a personal injury attorney from Hattiesburg named James ‘Bus’ Cook.  It wasn’t because he had to, it was because he wanted to.   Favre explains, So what if Bus never represented a player before?  I’d never had an agent before, so I figured we were a pretty good match.

One week after signing off on his collegiate career, Jay Cutler has signed with an agent.  The former Vanderbilt quarterback will be represented by Bus Cook, who is also the agent for Titans quarterback Steve McNair and Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre.

“Experience was a huge factor for me when I was deciding on an agent.  Bus had shown me he was more than capable of ‘getting the job done right.’  His dedication and face to face negotiations with the Houston Oilers over a several week period enabled me to report to camp on time which was very important for me, and rare for a high first round pick.

“Bus and Don gave me great representation.  They went far beyond my expectations of a sports agent.  Although my career in the NFL was short, I appreciated the hard work they put in for me during my career and after my career.  I not only considered them as my agents, but also my personal friends.”

“Top prospect Randy Moss, the Marshall wideout, was wooed by Johnnie Cochran,  but chose veteran agent Bus Cook, who represents Brett Favre.  ‘My agent’s got THE MAN’, Moss said.  Who’s Johnnie Cochran got?”
