What happened. Larry Berg fielded his first questions as MLS commissioner-elect, outlining an ambitious vision for the league and joking about deferring broadcasting questions to outgoing commissioner Don Garber.

• Berg's tenure begins in January.
• Garber's 28-year stint ends this year.
• Broadcasting plans remain a key topic.

“Well, as the incoming commissioner, I’m allowed to kick it to the current commissioner to answer that question.”

— Larry Berg

Berg will need to address priorities like media deals and roster rules when he takes over.
