Commissioners or Comedians?

While I should be studying for a mid-term or reading the 200 page book I have barely started that is due tomorrow (It's called Black Like Me, yeah it sounds about as bad as it is), I chose something better...why not write?! The Home Run Derby just ended, and it is all luck if you predict the winner, so I predicted Carlos Gonzales to win, because he has the coolest nickname.....CarGo! No I am not a 60 year old woman going through her mid life crisis, that chooses her final four by her favorite school colors or the most BA mascot. I hope everyone knows what BA means, because I am not allowed to go into detail, we will leave it at that.

Prince Fielder won the home run derby, but they shouldn't allow guys over 300 pounds in the competition, it is completely unfair. Here's an idea every year select a different position and select the best 8 at that position then switch every year until you have made your way around the diamond. Baseball diamond that is. I had to clear that up for the girls reading this who get excited just seeing the word "diamond". Never thought of that novel idea did you Bud Selig? 

What is the deal with commissioners these days? You have my personal favorite David Stern representing the NBA, what a joke! He is a coward that just loves the spotlight (made evident at the draft) and loves, well....haters. I guess he follows the slogan "haters are my motivators". If you didn't know David Stern was raised in Compton, he must have adopted his motto there, doesn't surprise me he is more comfortable around African-Americans than he is whites. Which is why he gets nervous around owners, GM's and Brian Scalabrine. How about Roger Goodell? fines everybody if they so much as breathe on the quarterback, plus he absolutely HATES James Harrison, which is actually quite funny. I am not going into the whole Saints sagw, just turn on ESPN and chances are they will be talking about it. Here is another novel idea, Bud Selig take notes, how about all the league commissioners get together, call out David Stern, learn from each other, make fun of David Stern, talk nicely to each other and maybe even fire David Stern right there on the spot. The commissioners have to crack you up though. They all have a demeanor and swagger that they do so much and are so important. David Stern has a strut in his step, or as he would refer to it... "a hitch in my giddy up". Goodell is basically the government, he takes, takes and takes and occasionally will give us a public park or better yet a new refreshment at the stadium. Not Baja Blast though apparently Taco Bell trademarked that beverage. Watching Stern on draft day was like trying to listen to someone with a stutter, it was painful! How does he not know how to pronounce half these guys names? He is the commissioner of the NBA!! Oh ya, that's right he only cares about two names Anthony Davis and Austin Rivers. 

Commissioners need to lighten up and let up on the leash. Give the owners free reign and let the players do what they want.
