Some interesting reading regarding just who is in charge... and who gets the blame, maybe just maybe not totally all just his own fault? Nope, not a fan per se of the man, nor of what has transpired at times - but, looks like Gary is more of a lightning rod, taking vast majority of the heat, for what the BoG actually desires.

In short, a league commissioner is the action man for the Board of Governors. They tell him what they want done and he works to make it happen through his subordinates while making sure that individual franchises play by the rules. As the public’s point of contact to the board (and in essence, the league), his job is to tow the company line and be an advocate for BoG decisions.
