Bud Adams apologizes to the Bills http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/10379056/Titans-owner-apologizes-for-flipping-the-bird Titans owner apologizes for flipping the bird Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Titans owner Bud Adams apologized Monday for making an obscene gesture to Buffalo fans while celebrating Tennessee's victory over the Bills. WTVF-TV reported Adams extended two middle fingers while in his luxury suite. The Tennessean newspaper reported Adams also was seen making the gesture again on the field after Sunday's game. The NFL said Monday the league was looking into the reports, and the 86-year-old Adams issued an apology a couple hours later apologizing for getting caught up in the excitement after the 41-17 victory. "I do realize that those types of things shouldn't happen," Adams said in a statement. "I need to specifically apologize to the Bills, their fans, our fans and the NFL. I obviously have a great deal of respect for Ralph Wilson and the history we have shared. I also understand there will probably be league discipline for my actions and I will accept those." Adams and Wilson are original owners from the American Football League, and Sunday's game was a legacy game with both teams wearing throwback uniforms. Wilson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, and their teams share a history of emotional playoff games, including the Music City Miracle in January 2000. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was at the game Sunday after having breakfast with Adams. The league said Monday that Goodell left Adams' suite at the end of the third quarter and spent the fourth quarter sitting with fans in the end zone before leaving the stadium. Players have been fined for the NFL for making such a gesture. San Francisco kicker Joe Nedney was fined $7,500 in October 2007, and Michael Vick was fined $10,000 and donated $10,000 to charity in 2006 while playing in Atlanta. "The league holds us as players to a higher standard, so to have an owner flip the bird not once but twice the league has to hold him to the same standard if not more," Bills safety George Wilson said Monday. "He's at the top of the heirarchy. If you don't hold him accountable, then you're questioning the integrity of the system." Buffalo defensive tackle Marcus Stroud saw footage of Adams on TV but didn't care. "He owns that team and Mr. Wilson owns our team. That's about the gist of it, as far as it goes with me. It's not like he can come down and strap up and put on any pads or anything like that. It doesn't bother me. If that's what he wants to do, go for it," Stroud said.

I heard some idiot caller on 610 (oxymoron, I know) say that Bud was "couragous" for doing this. Not surprisingly, he was a titans fan. Gotta love sports talk radio callers. And titan fans. LOL.
Are yall sure this isn't video of Bud Assams flipping off the City of Houston right before he moved our team?
You can't beat the unintentional comedy. Plus, it's only for 5 minutes a day while driving from my house to the park and ride.
i'm just kidding. i'm proud of you for being able to listen to lopez without having your ears bleed. shows resilience on your part.
I also found this hilarious. It wasn't just a quick little gesture, it just went on and on and on. :grin:
The dude is 86, he has what? 1, 2, 3 years left? And he has billions of dollars....he has passed the point of giving a crap. DD
By that standard Al Davis should be flinging his feces from his suite with a water ballon launcher. Does your Titan excusery know no bounds, DD? :grin:
