Just want to gauge surly's opinion on which of these two human yeast infections is actually the worst of the worst. i myself am undecided, and wanting to hear the opinions of others on this subject.

This is a pretty decent overview - Goodell makes himself the face of unpopular choices to shield the owners while the league succeeds and makes money hand over fist. Manfred might just hate baseball and actively torpedos the MLB and ruins the minor leagues. Plus as an A's fan I can't forgive him for being a pretty unsubtle Vegas honk.

I know I've mentioned this here before, but Bill James makes a useful distinction between peak value and career value.  Sandy Koufax had a 5-season peak value that was arguably better than anyone's in history, but he was pretty average before that, whereas Warren Spahn's best season doesn't match Sandy's, but Spahn was consistently great for like 20 years.

Goodell is the career value asshole and Manfred is the peak value asshole.
