The Commish

Whether playing center for the Georgetown Hoyas or forging the most comprehensive substance abuse policy of any professional league, Paul Tagliabue's career in sports has been a success. After 17 years as commissioner of the National Football League, the Jersey City native is stepping down as the pro football's top executive. With a low-key style designed to ensure success and continuity while increasing league revenue, Tagliabue's track record is beyond reproach. Since taking the reins from Pete Rozelle in 1989, Tagliabue has turned the NFL into the world's most profitable sports league. He is credited with negotiating unprecedented network television contracts in addition to a labor deal that guarantees uninterrupted play. His other accomplishments include the launch of a 24-hour football network, the creation of a European developmental league, and the overhaul of the league's crown jewel, the Super Bowl. Bob Costas sits down with the commissioner to review his career and discuss the challenges that will test his successor.
