-- of their total incompetence plus hypocrisy, highest to lowest.

Welcome to the greatest challenge you'll have all year.

Possibly decade.

Can they all be tied at the bottom?

Bettman is on the bottom of my list but the other 3 are right there but I care more about the NHL then the others.

3. "RE: Rank the four major sports commissioners in order --"
No, because there's differences. For example, I feel Bettman is hugely incompetent, but only moderately hypocritical. Meanwhile, I see Goodell as moderately incompetent, but his hypocrisy is on a universal scale. Which factor is more important?

From less aggravating to most aggravating:

Stern - Goodell - Selig - Bettman

5. "RE: Rank the four major sports commissioners in order --"
This is such a hard challenge. Selig is clearly the least competent. Yet he's no more hypocritical than your average used-car salesman, which is what he was. Stern is the most competent, but he also scores high on hypocrisy. Bettman is about in the middle on each scale. And Goodell is the sultan of hypocrisy, plus he appeared incompetent during the ref's strike, which doesn't bode well.

SO, from least incompetent and hypocritical to most, taken as a whole:

Stern, Selig, Bettman, Goodell

I think they're all no good and should all be hung. That said, if there's only enough rope available to hang one of them, it needs to be Betthole.

10. "RE: Rank the four major sports commissioners in order --"
I'm not sure about that. The problem is that the commissioner reports to the owners, and only the owners. The owners want to make more money. Sometimes you get a genius like Pete Rozelle, who convinces the other owners that the way to make more money is by cooperating with each other so that they can negotiate from a position of strength against everyone. And sometimes you get a total idiot like Bowie Kuhn.

Baseball has stuck with Bud Selig for so long because, despite Selig's incompetence, he still may be the third best baseball commissioner ever (behind only Peter Ueberroth and Happy Chandler, and neither of them lasted over six years).

11. "RE: Rank the four major sports commissioners in order --"
Competence, most to lease:
Stern, who's diabolical but great at his job
Selig, who's gotten a few right to balance out all he's done wrong
Goodell, who's putting his foot into this whole player discipline case and come back up with it covered in crap
Bettman, who might not have an NHL to run in a few years at this rate

Hypocrisy, from least to most:
Goodell, who's hardly competent but is at least fairly consistent in being wrong
Selig, who's more of a bumbling dweeb
Stern, who's not above employing refs who bet on games
Bettman, who would do the world a big favor by just going away

Butthole would do hockey a huge favor right now by taking the bridge and pulling the Fehrs off with him.

There are very few cases where I would wish death or suicide upon someone.

Bettman and the Fehrs? Let's just stop it at moderate bodily harm. A swift kick in the jewels and a busted lip should cover it.

That and they all just go away.

...y'all pissed off David Stern with your criticisms of him. He's quitting as commish as of February 2014, exactly 30 years after he took up the job.

Think you have the right to sit your own players?

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8692304/report-san-antonio-spurs-sit-4-top-5-scorers-vs-miami-heat

Not so fast.

Next up, Dr. Stern verifies all injuries personally. "That foot is only broken in four places. Suit up!"

How Popovich runs his team is none of Stern's GD business. Popovich's responsibility is to his team and only to his team, and if Stern and the Miami fans who wanted to see those 4 players don't like it, tough $hit. The Spurs don't owe you a GD thing.

I'd say his rep just went negative.

I heard radio mention of a similar outburst in the Eighties, but not the teams involved or any fine amount.

20. "Let's see"
I couldn't care less about the NBA or MLB.

Bettman is the moron who's allowing the NHL to become a niche sport once again.

While Goodell places a home football game over the murder-suicide by a player just over 24 hours prior to the game, with the suicide taking place IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE STADIUM WHERE THE GAME WAS PLAYED!!!

After his idiotic reaction to Popovich's decision to rest his players, David Stern occupies the top spot IMO (top spot being the worst spot).
