Steve:Section 102

I voted for Stern, because I believe the NBA crooked, from the refs to the lottery. It's a mess IMO. Bettman is a very close second. Selig strikes me a bumbler, and perhaps that makes him worse than Bettman, but Bettman is allowing the labor strife to cripple and destroy his league. Selig just sits back and does nothing. Goodell, for all his warts about how he's changing the game, is only trying to lessen the owners liability in the class action suit on player safety. His league enjoys unparalleled popularity.

Goodell is the best of that bunch and it isn't even close, in my mind.

Stern is corrupt as ****, imo. Bettman's league isn't even playing and Selig has manned the helm as Baseball continued its inevitable slide further and further from the NFL.

Goodell might drive fans crazy but that's only because of how ******* great the NFL is. He's got a long ways to go before he's as bad as those buffoons.

They ALL suck, but they rep the owners which means the owners for the league suck just as bad.

Bettman has to rep a group of idiots hell bent on choking the golden goose to death

Goodell, you know.

Stern is corrupt as hell and trust me, if they RICOed the NBA I would not be surprised.

Selig has been in the league far far too long.

OK...I screwed up...I gave only a quick glance at the list and just ASS U MEd that they were all previous NFL commishes and so I immediately clicked for Goodell...but now I know these are commishes from other major sports leagues,....I still pick Goodell because...I don't care about hockey and not so much about basketball and I never seen the baseball commissioner screw the Red Sox like the NFL commish has screwed the Pats.

LOL, I was going to go with which method of death do you prefer: Hanging, burning, being tied to two cars that drive in opposite directions or starvation.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

I don't think any of them does a particularly good job, but since I am an NFL fan above all else, and I think Roger Goodell makes terrible and heavy-handed decisions constantly, I will have to go with him.

It's Bettman and it's not close. 2 complete season lockouts in 8 years...

Bettman is a convenient and easy whipping boy, but Pro hockey is facing the issue that ALL the other sports will face, soon. The NHL does not have a big time TV contract, unlike the other three sports. Yet pro hockey players believe they should be paid just like the other "major league" players. But the revenues to do so, are just not there. The NHL owners are talking reality, and no one wants to hear it.

One thing is aways true. Sooner or later, viewers grow bored and seek out something new. When viewer ship declines, the TV networks and their huge contracts WILL disapear. Without those TV revenues, the owners will HAVE to face the same issues that the NHL is now undergoing. No player in any sport is going to want his earnings cut, but eventually it is going to happen in every sport.

In our favorite sport, the signs are all there. Vitually all stadiums are sold out or nearly so. Ticket prices and concessions revenues are as well as box revenue is maxed out. Little room for increased local revenues exist. TV has expanded from Sundays afternoons, to include Monday evenings, Thursday evenings, and Sunday evenings. The feared TV over saturation is here now.

Fortunately a new TV contract exists, but I suspect the next one, if it even comes to pass, will not be larger. It might not even happen, and if it does it might actually be smaller. Then the NFL owners and NFLPA will be exactly where hockey is, at loggerheads.

Bettman gets the blame but it is misdirected.

As a pure Commissioner, Roger Goodell is easily the worst. Goodell by a Country mile.

I give it to Bettman - he is about to oversee the death of his sport. Stern is a close 2nd b/c I have not watched the NBA since Jordan retired the 2nd time. Goodell is making great strides in catching up with BOTH of them.
