    The only person happy with the way Manfred is handling his job is Bud Fucking Selig.

    I never imagined a worse commissioner. Jesus what a shit show...

    If you're outraged by sign stealing and your favorite MLB team won playoff games and series and maybe even WS titles with PED-abusing players on your team's roster...then you are a hypocrite and need to take a seat.
    You see me empty, Sir, do not pause and inquire, simply assume and refill.

    Black Sox and PED scandals are much worse than this current scandal.  Titles will never be vacated btw.  This is not the NCAA.

    Manfreds really been a dipshit these past couple days but his still miles ahead of Selig.

    Not PED’s, at least according to anyone that has actually played and has weighed in.

    Gary Bettman wins for worst commissioner. Letting all those northeast teams go south, basically allowing the stars to cheat against the sabers in the cup finals, getting rid of two line passing, 2 refs on the ice, visors for every player, 2 lockouts, I could go on. He literally gets booed handing of the stanley cup to the winning team.

    Every team had PED cheaters on it.

    As a hockey fan, and a Sabres fan, I disagree.

    IMO, Selig was far worse, and Manfred is making Selig look like Mountain Landis.

    Bettman has been overall good for the NHL and hockey.  The sport has grown in the US, and the two lockouts were necessary for the sport, and decisive wins for Bettman's side.  The result of those lockouts is that places like Buffalo and Winnipeg and Edmonton (and others) can remain in business.  

    There are some terrible things as well.  Offsides challenge, awful points/standings system, terrible league discipline.

    You are not a fan of visors for every player?  Greg MacTavish agrees lol.

    I never thought anyone could make Goodell look so good by comparison. This guy is a mess. 
    It's like in order to be a commissioner of one of the 4 major North American sports leagues, you have to be a total moron and be completely out of touch with sports.

    That's not completely accurate.  You need to be able to deflect crap from the owners and project it onto yourself and make sure the corporation is still making money.

    Acting like a moron may be part of the prerequisites for applying though?

    Joe Girardi may just admitted to using a sign stealing system: "I was part of a system where it came from upstairs, to someone in the dugout, to the hitt.. er 2nd base ..." on the MLB network.

    Assuming it stopped when the yankees and Red Sox got slapped on the wrist and the letters went out, then this is old news.

    It will be interesting to see what teams have outspoken players on the sign stealing and what teams have no players commenting on the sign stealing over spring training (other then "we need to move on").  I can't imagine anyone that has been in a cheating system will say a peep.

    This was why I had said it was no big deal at first.  Figured most teams were doing it in one form or another.  No players said anything.

    After the dust has settled and you have players like Judge and Trout saying something then you know things weren't as widespread as I had thought.
