   be or replace?

   be - neither

   replace - Selig

   Why? Take care of Bonds. and the free tickets of course.

   I would rather be the commish of the NHL. Nobody cares.

   yeah grant that’s a hard one to choose. i guess if i have to be one i’m going with goodell. i figure the thugs are spread out better in the nfl than the nba and i wouldn’t want to touch the mlb.

   Leave it to Len to ask a better question in the comments. I’m fairly jealous of that.

   I think baseball is beyond fixing…

   Grant - baseball beyond fixing? That’s because your not a fan. Anything can be fixed - it just takes leadership and determination. For example - David Stern needs to be replaced. That helps fix basketball. Bud Selig needs a spine transplant - that helps fix baseball. Barry Bonds needs to be ignorned. That helps too. Look at Jason Giambi today - he acknowledges his wrong doing and urges baseball to close the loop and fix the problem. It takes … leadership.

   Now, the NFL …

   if you say david stern needs to leave the nba, i take great exception to that. he has done many many things for the league. the only problem david stern has is he tries to market the nba to middle aged white guys, like the people who read this blog, and they, for whatever reasons, are not interested in the nba anymore.

   bug selig just needs to get some cajones and step in, which he is passively doing by ignoring the home rune chase.

   the only problem with the nfl is it stands for the no fun league.

   “Middle aged white guys …who read this blog” ????

   What the heck, Clay? Are you trying to be funny or just a jerk?

   What does race have to do with the NBA abandoning the fundamental rules of basketball like traveling and carrying and hand checking? What does race have to do with having two sets of rules for your players - the star rules and the non-star rules?

   Besides that - have you been to a NBA game lately? Who fills up those seats? It’s the rich and famous, not the common fan.

   sorry grant, i was trying to be funny, guess i need to keep working on that. haha. your right about the common fan not being at the game, except in golden state, and that was fun basketball to watch.

   I did enjoy watching GS…

   I just couldn’t ever get over the fact they were from Oakland.
