Players like Roger Goodell and they hate him. They respect him and they don't. Emotions about Goodell run strong but they also include, perhaps surprisingly, a sizeable helping of indifference.

Surprising because over the past year the NFL and its players have been engaged in some of the most bitter fighting the league has ever seen -- from the lockout to Bountygate. In some instances, particularly in the case of the Saints, the players were hammered by Goodell.

One would expect the players to despise Goodell (and some do) but the overriding feeling expressed by players in interviews was not anger or bitterness but apathy.
