Friday marked David Stern’s last day as NBA commissioner.
Public sentiment on his 30-year tenure is positive, according to an ESPN SportsNation poll that had more than 100,000 votes as of Friday evening.

The NFL, which has no problem recognizing a potential revenue stream, put a $28.50 price tag on tickets to Tuesday’s Media Day. About 7,000 fans anted up.

“They came to watch people get interviewed,” he marveled. “This is amazing right here, man.”
