My Take
Tagliabue fascinates me precisely because he was not a flashy figure. A Jersey City kid who played basketball at Georgetown, then built a legal career, then steered the NFL for nearly two decades as commissioner. That arc says everything about the quiet operators who shape institutions from behind the scenes rather than the spotlight. I admire executives whose power comes from judgment and negotiation, not charisma, and his 2007 Theodore Roosevelt Award fits that mold. With his passing in 2025, I think he deserves to be remembered as an architect, not just an administrator.
