What a difference of competence in a crisis. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver dealt with the Donald Sterling affair in swift and decisive fashion. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is stumbling around like a rookie trying to deal with Ray Rice. He’s making the same mistake as the Nixon administration, it’s not the crime that is going to take you out, it’s the cover-up. Anyone can govern when the going is easy, you get paid the big bucks to handle the tough job. He fumbled.
