Tara Modlin counts the SOI performances as endorsements. If she were to admit that they receive no endorsements, it would make her look like a bad agent and she would likely be fired by the Flatts.

I'm kinda surprised that both Larson and Raisman aren't being considered locks at this point. There was a rumor going around last week that Larson left the first camp early and triggered speculation that she was injured or something else happened.

Abbott is actually taking responsibility and admitting that his skating at Olympics/other international events is what did him in, endorsement-wise. <br /><br />I don't care if the entire ladies field turned into zombies in Vancouver and were unable to skate, leaving only Rachael to take home the gold. The girl is not worthy of endorsements if you ask me. Fugly skating and posture and positions. <br /><br />Also, it looks to me like Tara is saying, "We got a few offers, but they conflicted with Rachael's schedule." But Mrs. Flatt is simply saying, "We received no new endorsements."<br /><br />The question we need to debate now is: Which trainwreck is bigger, Tara in general or Rachael's skating?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-53767918141155557882010-09-27T23:10:11.576-07:002010-09-27T23:10:11.576-07:00What?

Jody is claiming Rachael never received the offers, while Tara is claiming Rachael was just too busy to accept them. So it's very difficult to determine what the problem is here. <br /><br />It seems like Jody may be putting the blame on Tara when it may just be that there weren't a lot of endorsement opportunities after the Olympics for a skater who honestly doesn't have a big "it" factor. She's great and all, but not a superstar or anything. All I know is that an agent is not a miracle worker. While I don't like Tara's lack of professionalism, who knows if she did anything really wrong here. <br /><br />I feel like I hear the name Jody Flatt too much. Parents should not be talking to the media on a regular basis. It's too involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
