True or False

I say absolutely true. The guy seems like a total moron.

I think Goodell could give him a run for his money... but Selig is a little worse in my opinion.

He's not good at matter of public relations.

--Selig has dealt with the biggest problem in sports history... he hasn't solved it, but he is making improvements. The fact that it was so prevalent in years past will always make people skeptical and quick to judge his every move.
A-Rod shouldnt be punished by MLB. His image and reputation being tarnished will be enough.
--Goodell has had to deal with Vick and Pacman ...

The two can't be compared

As much as I detest Selig, he is a friggin genius compared to Gary Bettman. Honestly, I can make a case against David Stern as well.

I knew that was coming.

But whose fault is it that the NHL is no longer one of the "Big Four"?

i think stern has made some questionable decisions, but he has, by far, the hardest job of the big 3

All of theirs.

And it was a joke... clearly Bettman is the worst.

How in the hell did he deal with it. He let it go on on his watch for over 10 years before he even addressed it. If congress wouldn't have got involved, which they shouldn't have, he probably would have still continued to turn the other cheek. Also, don't give me the crap about him not knowing about it from '92 to '02 cause the head dick in charge always know whats going on.....period.

100% false, baseball has never been so profitable, the wild card and inter league play came about on his watch and have been fantastic for baseball.

The last time I checked, baseball had record numbers(fans) last year and Bud walked away with $18 Million for the year. I think if he was the worst, he would have been whacked a long time ago.

NHL commish

Actually, by this criteria, Bettman's doing pretty well. He's been the commish for about 20 years and NHL's attendence numbers are now equal to the NBA and trending upwards, so you could argue they are better.
