The Commish



"60 Minutes" had another great segment on the business of sports Sunday, this time with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

My students and I discussed whether they would be interested in having Goodell's job.  Most didn't--too much responsibility, and I'd have to agree.  Working for one boss can be enough; I can't imagine having 32 of them.

It was nice to point out that Goodell started out as an NFL intern and worked his way to the top.  So many of my students don't want to do internships because they want to get paid for every job.  Guess what, kiddos?  That's not the way the sports and entertainment industries work.
