Regarding Selig I don't like the idea of managers' challenges even though I do like instant replay. I put blame on baseball fans that don't like instant replay because what they don't understand is if umpires make bad calls, they should review it.

Plus Goodell is going to continue to ruin football. He needs to stop the NFL London Games because around 2020 the NFL could have an NFL London Team. It's just a disgrace.

What's wrong with instant replay? What if an umpire makes bad calls?

Agree on the all-star game home field advantage for the World Series. I don't care for that.

The NFL is being ruined thanks to Goodell. Why? Three games are played in London each year, one game will be in Germany and China in the future. And now there will be a game in Mexico City this year. That is a disgrace. Plus some of rules are so STUPID!

in the Church of the NFL, Godall would be the Pope...I would suggest that their next step would be to file to be declared so and gain even more protection from the evil government regulators, heck they've already been holding their church services on Sundays for many years anyways.

I am starting to wonder if Gary Bettman may be the worst commissioner currently because it is a disgrace that the NHL won't participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

I think Silver is catching up to the other jerks, his political correctness nonsense, the need for every team to have 5 or six different uniforms, ads on uniforms now, too many time outs and TV breaks, the fact that the league is predictable ( we all know Golden State will be in the finals again, 4 th straight year)
