Could this guy be any less telegenic? He's straight out of Central Casting, if you're looking for a sniveling, pencil-necked, duplicitous, milquetoast corporate coward. I thought Stern was hard to swallow. This guy makes Bettman seem like "The Most Interesting Man In The World". Wow!
It will be interesting to see how he handles his first crisis. Pretty simple to me. Demand that Sterling immediately answer under oath whether the racist comments are his. Sterling's instinct will be to stall or lie or say "not that I can remember". Silver cannot allow him to stall. If Sterling can't remember, the Commish can contend that's he's in failing health and not fit to own a franchise. If he lies, and it's proven wrong, he's dead to rights. If he admits his discretion, pull his franchise under the premise that's he's detrimental to the best interests of the league. Sterling has got to go, plain and simple!!
