UPDATE ALERT: The NFL has come down with a stiff fine for Bud Adams this week, citing him $250,000.00 for “conduct detrimental to the NFL.” Wow, didn’t know you could take a quarter million dollars from a man for flipping someone off in his own luxury suite… The “No Fun League” prevails again!
Yesterday the Tennessee Titans beat the snot bubbles out of the Buffalo Bills, 41-17. While coasting to the obvious victory Titans owner, Bud Adams, kicked a Buffalo while it was down, giving the Buffalo sidelines a taste of the ol’ one finger salute. Bud didn’t just flip the boys from Buffalo off, he gave them a right bird, a left bird, another right, and then capped it off with a double (above video is the only one currently available, apologies for the soundtrack). He’s also wearing a baby blue suit, which makes it that much more demeaning.
Today Bud apologized for the gesture, saying he will accept any punishment the NFL deems fit. First off, he’s not sorry for what he did, he’s sorry he got caught on tape. Second, Roger Goodell (Mr. Uppity himself) was actually in the press box with him during the show of sportsmanship. Falcons’ coach Mike Smith was fined $15,000.00 last week for his role in a sideline scuffle so you can assume Bud Adams’ pockets are gonna’ be hit pretty hard in the upcoming days.
Stay classy, Bud!
