He probably thought he was just waving as he stood there pissing in his depends.

If I had to guess he won't make that mistake again....

Yeah he made a fool of himself, but at 250 a pop, I am sure the NFL is actually cool with it.

Off topic for a second, the Redskins image on your homepage is way too big. You have hardly any content above the fold

^ I wish I had a quarter mill to burn.....I'd go to work and do the same thing.

Not a classy move if you ask me. The league should expect better from it's owners and I don't have a problem with the large fine.

Anyone think that having Goodell at the game might have had something to do with the amount of the fine?

Gotta love a crusty old guy like that! I wonder if JKC would have ever given multiple birds, to the Cowpukes perhaps?

Adams is getting away with a lot in the public's eye now with the defense of "Well he's old"

if you can't use that then what's the point of getting old

Bud Adams needs a Sam Adams because that was AWESOME

Does he look like a fool? Yeah. Does he embarrass the Titans organization? Some what. Is it funny? You bet your ass it is!

Absolutely.

To those saying 'dementia' and the like, if you can't laugh at a cantankerous old man flipping off 60 thousand plus, there's no hope for you.

TheBigDaddy · 11-17-2009, 07:25 PM

I've always wanted to ask this....
Is that $250k after taxes or does he get to claim the fine as a donation to charity and write it off or is it a pre-tax fine...

Silly question I know but so is the thread really.

Agreed; though I do find it funny just due to his age.

Jim Rome made a good observation today, Adams gets fined 250,000 for flipping the bird. Darth Hoody gets 500k fine for cheating for couple years.

Considering Rodger Goodell was in the box with Bud discussing how to make the NFL a more family friendly enviroment at the stadiums, this fine is right in line and appropriate. I am surprised that a guy in his 80's after having this discussion would do such a thing. I would tend to think that RG found this gesture a real slap in the face after thier conversation.

Although I do find the action funny considering what the topic of discussion was in the box all afternoon I find this a little upsurd. Unless Bud did it as a gesture of F U to the NFL and their stupid family friendly idea.

I had not heard about the Commish being there, Bud is CRAZY.

Even weirder, the Titans won 41-17...I could understand this slightly more if they were losing or cheated by a bad call.

SmootSmack · 11-18-2009, 12:15 PM

He wasn't in the box at the time, he was in the stands or might have just left the stadium by then
