Do you despise Roger Goodell?

[Hotsauce]

A lot of fan bases hate Roger Goodell. A lot of players hate Roger Gooddell. Some have valid reasons, some don't. 

Has his "wrath" ever really effected the Panthers or any of its players?  Do you think he is good for the sport?

The only situation I can think of where he had influence was with Greg Hardy, but Hardy is an asshat.

I have nothing against the man, by any objective measure of performance he has done an outstanding job.

Unfortunately I'm sure there are lots here towing the old "he is rich, therefore everything he does is bad" line of thought.

I have no problem with him at all. People tend to forget what the league was like before he took over. Pac-man Jones was making it rain in strip clubs and players were straight up acting a fool. He was hired to clean up their off field behavior. Guys still get into trouble no doubt but its not like it used to be. Not to mention they gave him all of that power so I hate it when players complain.

I know Saints fans hate Gordell for punishing Sean Payton and Gregg Williams unfairly.  I think I recall about seven of their fans protesting.

[Ricky Spanish]

Dude has too much power, but all he does is make cash so he's not bad at his job necessarily.

but Cam was making it rain in the strip club 3 weeks ago. 

Anyway he runs the NFL with an iron fist handing out 4 game suspensions like candy. it doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason to anything but the drug policy. that said its very hard to cry for some guy making million while he complains about how he cant play because assaulted his girlfriend,

So the other 7 fans were fine with it?

I don't know that I despise him, but the douche bag did cover up spygate.

If you factor in the percentage of Saints fans that have internet thats a pretty good showing.

Dude is just an overpaid mouthpiece for our conservative billionaire owners.  He gets paid for everyone not to like him, like the principal

[KittyLover]

I think he screwed up spygate. I don't think he was harsh enough. You suspend Sean Payton for his defensive coordinator running an injury pool but let Bill off for getting caught cheating red handed. No consistency there. That and the Ray Rice debacle...  Now that I ponder those are pretty severe f&?! Ups. 

[ichigo1057]

I don't hate the guy though I really wish he would stop implementing a lot of the dumb new rules but then again that is the owners as well.

[Moorgan]

He's a smart guy and is the PR rep for all the owners. He does his job. There have been screw ups (spygate and Ray Rice as was mentioned) but those are failures in policies from the NFL which he may oversee but, again, is a total function of the owners. I don't really have any issue with him.

[iamcline]

I don't have a problem with him at all. He has to make major decisions that will in one way or another affect his company and 32 others. He deals with sponsors, the government at times and other enormous issues that most of us couldn't fathom. People just like to point the finger at him even if they don't understand his role.

He has made mistakes, but show me someone who doesn't and I'll show you a liar.
