Which commissioner would you rather be?

[Dr. Jack]

Which commissioner would you rather be?

Goodell (NFL) Has to deal with Vick and all of these other thugs

Stern (NBA) Has to deal with the fix and credibility questions

Selig (MLB) Has to deal with the steroid issue

Bettman (NHL) Has to be the commissioner of a sport where 2/3 of people don’t really care about it

Which commissioner has the tougher job or the biggest nightmare?

Who would you rather be?

I knew this was coming lol.

I'd rather be baseball just for the history and how each pitch in the playoffs means so much.

I'd rather not be football. Too many thugs.

Godell. Come sundays at 1pm, NFL fans could care less about off the field stuff.

[TCD619]

Poll on espn.com had STERN being the one you DIDNT wanna be.
i'd rather be bettman, lol.
Godell though. He's got that ZERO tolerance and he'll force vick to sit.

This is not a easy question, it seems that they all have a hard job in front of them. If I had to pick one I think I would go for NFL. I know this would not be the most easy of jobs, it is one that I feel like I would make a diffrence in.

VOTE CHICAGO RED FOR THE NEW NFL COMMISSIONER 08-09 SEASON

I would rather be Baseball....Selig.... has put his biggest issue on the table and has made huge strides both legally and publicly to deal with it.....I mean he cannot go wrong right now...

Stern/Goodall have huge issues that cannot be addressed (mainly personal behaviours) without legislating their home life

Bettman league is irrelevant

what issue has he put on the table and made huge strides?

[E_Wrecked]

Goodell doesn't have it that bad, because the players he is reprimanding are all "dead wrong" alledgedly.

I would love to stick it to some of those NFL players

I would rather be Stern then the NHL guy, because at least you have 10 more fans observing in comparison to the NHL. 10 fans can go a looong way.

Let me be the commish of the NFL any day of the week especially right now.

His problems are minor in comparison to the other commissioners, Selig is screwed no matter what he does right now and hopefully he at least does the right thing and shows up when Bonds breaks what possibly is the most cherished record in all of North American sports. Part of the reason why Bonds is villified because of the steroid mess is directly to blame on Bud and the rest of the owners for not addressing this issue many years ago but burying their heads in the sand because of the strides MLB was making with the Homerun chase back with Sosa and McGwire after Bud tried taking down MLB interest in the US by allowing the World Series to be cancelled and at the end of the day gained nothing by that work stoppage

Stern is screwed right now, when game fixing is brought into your sport that is something that takes a very long time for fans to forget about, and everytime now a ref makes a call that causes a team to win or lose in peoples minds that game has become fixed.

Bettman, well nobody cares so maybe his job isn't that bad, lol!!! Its hard to take the NHL seriously right now as one of the Major 4 sports.


As for Roger, simple his problems are with assholes, start suspending their silly asses and alot of the problems will start to fade away because as soon as teams start to realize bringing questionable type of people to play for your team could end up hurting alot more than it did in the past when you have your guys suspended for the season.
