Oh My Goodell

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell persists as the face of his league, as he has since being elected. In his first impression, Goodell proved to be a disciplinarian (opposing 1980's Al Davis, 1990's Jerry Jones and 2000's Cincinnati Bengals), who suspended and met with troublesome players and refused stars their assumed place above the law. He came in and made things better, and then we all yelled at him for being concerned with player safety when he cracked down on big hits this past season. Sure, he seems to be talking out of both sides of his mouth, or worse, the owners' puppet, when he proposes an 18-game schedule. But his good in the past and the ostensibly genuine cutting of his own salary pulls Goodell's image the other way. Do you think Goodell has been a good commissioner? Do David Stern or Bud Selig run things better for their respective sports?
