    Just thought Id throw this out there as info...

    Bud Adams showing off his 2 AFC championship rings to a reporter candidly said that if he got another one hed put it on his middle finger and wave it to Houston, as he actually was waving the old one finger salute to the camera

    Dreamshake,

    Two AFC Championship rings?
    You are talking about rings for two different AFC championships?

    One from waay back. Being that Im not an or ever been a real Oilers fan, Im guessing in saying I believe the first was from the 60's

    The Oilers won the AFC Championship in 60 & 61. Then they lost to the Raiders in the 62 game.

    Ok, ok. Now I got the real gist of it.

    Im assuming Bud, was showing off his two rings from the 60's. And once he got his AFC championship ring he was going to give a big ol' "here ya go Houston" with it fitted on his middle finger.

    I don't think Butt Adams was showing any rings from the 60s.

    I think one was the AFC championship ring and the other was a conference ring or something weak like that. It just showed the lack of class that guys has, and made me just that more happier that he's gone.

    Besides, he said he'd be showing the ring to the mayor of Houston, not Houston itself. But, I hate the guy as much as I can possibly hate someone. [​IMG]

    Sounds pretty damn funny if you ask me.
