List your grievances with Bud here.


1. A tie in the allstar game.
2. The All Star game determines WS home field advantage
3. He didn't do anything about steroids years ago
4. How can MLB continue to own a franchise? Hello conflict of interest.
5. Pete Rose should be in the Hall.

I hate him because Paul Tagliabue is doing everything right in the NFL while Selig is doing a lot of the opposite

ain't that the truth. Even Stern is doing a pretty good job with the NBA. Selig sucks

Any time someone asks him a tough question he looks and sound slike he's going to cry.

All 5 are valid points, but especially these 2.

EVERYTHING right? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Please take your head out of the sand.

that NFL drug policy didn't seem to stop the Carolina Panthers from taking steroids. and how about a guy like Little from St. Louis continuing to play in the leauge? How about the prospect of an uncapped year coming up? Then there's he huge disparity in revenues between teams w/ new stadiums and those in old buildings.

the NFL may be the most financially successful pro sports league, but it is not without problems.

basing home field on the all-star game is one of the dumbest "innovations" of the last 20 years.

Also, the DH should be eliminated ASAP.

the DH will never go away, not as long as the players union exists. What else are old washed up guys like Mike Piazza going to do instead of holding on a few more painfull years in the AL as a DH?

Yes... I clearly meant that there has never been a problem in the NFL and Tagliabue is literally perfect in every aspect. :roll:

Good point... but could anyone ever be as bad as Gary Bettman?

It was an exaggeration for effect... I'm sorry you couldn't assume that since no human has ever done 'everything' correctly that I didn't literally mean that Tags is perfect

i dont have so much a problem with bettman as you would think. the players are being run by dolts. they had a chance at a 43 million cap, and instead waited out for a mid 30's million cap.

most if not all the paperwork is being hammered out already, the one big sticking point now is are last years contracts null and void (as the owners want) or still good (the players point of view)

both sides were to blame, and bettman is looking like hes worse off because the players got royally screwed, but that was because of faulty leadership in the union

My hatred for Bettman starts with the expansion movement. It has little to do with current politics.
