It actually dated back to super bowl week and Loomis and Payton not bending over backwards to kiss corporate asses like Goodell wanted! He asked them to move a practices so they could go to a party and they refused and it was a BIG BLOW UP! Rumor was Goodell even called Tom Benson and Tom told him he backed what Loomis and Payton wanted to do because they know whats best for his team. Ever sense that week Roger has been out against the saints organization...

Exactly. Payton's personality/ego hasn't always meshed with the league's agenda and operating procedures. Benson gave Loomis and Payton pretty much full reign. But I would go further as to take the Payton and Goodell rub started earlier the Super Bowl run. I remember hearing that neither were fans of each other before that.
I would guess there has been what has been roughly 14÷ years of bad blood that really began to boiling during the Super Bowl run. The entire team had an edginess to them and they were playing the game that they wanted to play. It worked but it pissed off Goodell because they weren't handling the media like he wanted them to and snubbed Super Bowl access. Everything started after that. Vicodin allegations, Bountygate, the league trying to force Benson to fire Sean and the heavy handed punishments.
I don't think it got better despite Sean saying differently publicly after the Rams PI game and Goodell trying to save face by having Sean on the rules committee to change the rule. That game was fixed and everyone saw it.

It was this, winning that game, not allowing golden Peyton to win a second SB, the onsides kick, and the overall beating Paytons team delivered.
Goodell saw Sean Payton was going to be a problem he could not control if he did not destroy him.
