“The Life of a Sports Agent” with Leigh Steinberg

Host Max Gershberg is joined by sports super agent Leigh Steinberg, who went from living the high life to falling into bankruptcy and battling addiction to then rebuilding his life and returning to prominence as a top agent. Steinberg reflects on his journey from when Real Sports last spoke with him in 2012, detailing his struggles and celebrating the new wins in his life. Steinberg also weighs in on the latest news coming out of the NFL -- including issues surrounding Covid vaccination -- as the 2021 season approaches.
