Monday Morning Reckoning Week 10
Style Points — Lots of good stuff to get into this week, kiddies.  Not only do we offer groundbreaking on every NFL game, we also cover dominoes, Whataburger, Navajo broacast teams and middle fingers (see above).  All this and more in your MONDAY.  MORNING.  RECKONING! 49ers 10   Bears 6 This one feels like it was played two weeks ago, doesn’t it?  Not for Jay Cutler, of course.  No, I’m sure this one is still fresh. Probably ripped him to shreds to throw 5, count ‘em 1,2,3,4, 5 picks (2 in the red zone). ...

Bud Adams is With Us
The Goose's Roost — by Ryan Here’s what Titans owner Bud Adams thought of the Bills’ performance yesterday: Yup, that looks about right.

Titans owner Bud Adams flips off Buffalo sideline
Shutdown Corner — Kenneth Stanley "Bud" Adams, Jr (that's him on the right). is one bona-fide pro football legend. As an original member of the "Foolish Club", Adams can lay claim to ownership of a root American Football League team, the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans. Adams and Buffalo's Ralph Wilson are the only living members of that club with any controlling interest in their teams, and it was Adams' recent insistence that head coach Jeff Fisher start Vince Young(notes) that has helped the Titans on their recent winning streak after a disastrous 0-6 start. Bud Adams knows football, and he has for a long ...

Bud Adams Unleashes Middle Fingers At Titans-Bills
Busted Coverage: Booze, Ladies And Football — bud-adams-middle-finger-small Bud Adams has always been a badass NFL owner. He told Houston to improve the Astrodome or suck it. The city half-assed the improvements (in Bud’s mind) and so he moved his team to Nashville. He lost his wife of 62 years in February. His multi-million dollar first-round draft pick QB has been a huge bust. One of his best picks ever was shot to death over the summer. Bud Adams seems to have had it – with everyone. YouTube Preview Image Posted: Nov. 15, 2009 Premise of the Video: (from the vlogger) Tennessee Titans 86 year old owner Bud Adams flipping the bird at the Buffalo Bills in today’s game. ...

Middle-finger fine surely is coming for Bud Adams
ProFootballTalk.com — As Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean pointed out on Sunday, Titans owner Bud Adams capped his team's 41-17 win over the Bills by shooting a couple of middle fingers in the direction of the Buffalo sideline. (Or maybe he saw Floyd Reese's wife sitting in the stands on the other side of the stadium.) Here's the video of the moment. Sure, it's funny to see an 86-year-old man paying homage to the New York state bird. Indeed, we like the idea that, if the Guy Upstairs lets us live that long, we might still have enough passion to fire off a periodic obscene gesture at someone other than the kid on our lawn. But the league office needs to treat ...

Bud Adams: We’re Number One!
Dave's Football Blog — What better way to start the week than with an old guy flippin’ the bird? Yes, Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams was clearly enjoying his team’s win over Buffalo yesterday, so much so that he proudly stood up, pointed at the Bills, and gave them the finger — two fingers, from the looks of it. Oh, and he did that in a luxury box with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell looking on. I suspect Bud’s fine won’t be quite as big as Chad Ochocinco’s fine for that one-dollar bribery stunt. I also suspect Bud will gladly pay up. After all, ...

Bud Adams flips the bird yet again
TexansChick — To understand the Texans, you need to understand 'the script' | Main November 16, 2009 Bud Adams flips the bird yet again Okay, the bye week is done, and the Texans are set to face the Titans in Monday Night Football. Their owner, Bud Adams is likely to be in a little hot water. You see, after the Titans beat the Bills, Adams decided to celebrate by shooting the bird at the opposing sideline, multiple times. Video evidence here: Maybe he was sore that an AFC original owner Ralph Wilson is in the Hall of Fame, and he isn't. It is vulgarian moves like this which are one of the reasons why. There is still a push by a block NFL ...

VIDEO: TITANS OWNER BUD ADAMS FLIPS THE BIRD
BigLeagueScrew — The Titans’ owner is a flippant individual. I guess that’s why he decided to flip the bird on Sunday from his luxury box. There’s really no way to set this one up. A picture (and video) tell a thousand words (via Shutdown Corner). Tags: bud adams, flip the bird, football, middle finger, NFL, tennessee titans, videos, youtube RELATED VIDEO: REDSKINS FANS CAN BUY BOOZE IN BATHROOM (0) VIDEO: NO ...

Bud Adams Brings Out the Middle Finger
BlitzNation — Yes, you saw that right. That is Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams. And he is clearly giving someone the bird. I would try to explain this, but there’s simply no way to do so. Therefore, I will just let you continue to hit that play button over and over again, and laugh at the stupidity of this move by Adams. (more…)

Bud Adams Extends Buffalo a Triumphant Double Middle Finger Salute
The Sporting Blog — Editor's note: If old men flipping the bird is highly offensive to you, skip this video. There wasn't a turnbuckle and a can of beer involved, so you can't say Titans owner Bud Adams gave the full "Stone Cold" Steve ...

Titans Owner Flips Bills Fans the Bird
The Slanch Report — The Titans have gone through a difficult season; fresh off a 13-3 season they were expected to be serious contenders again this season. Instead they’ve seen their team collapse and become a door mat for the rest of the league to walk all over. Their owner Bud Adams has had his franchise since the inception of the AFL and is the ...

Bud Adams, Titans Owners, Lets the Double Birds Fly
Brahsome - Care To Get Nice? — Bud Adams is a controversial figure, especially in Houston, where most people would be happier if he’d just hurry up and die (he did after all, hijack their football team to Nashville under the cover of dark). Of course, that doesn’t explain why he was shooting the double bird in Buffalo on Sunday. Unless of course Bills fans were booing him. Or, alternately, he was trying to tell Ralph Wilson (across the stadium) that he was going to live longer. Or something. Either way, this is kind of an awesome thing to see from a really old man who runs a football team, especially considering Al Davis hasn’t been able to raise a ...

Bud Adams Gives the Buffalo Bills Sideline the Double Bird
Music City Miracles — I honestly have no idea what that was about.  It is obvious there is plenty of history between these two teams with two of the most memorable playoff games ever and the fact that both were original AFL teams, but it seems really odd that Bud Adams would do that.  I am sure the Houston people will be here soon further profess their love for all things Mr. Adams. August suggested that it could have been direct at the commissioner which is just as good of a theory as any other.  This thing has already been taking on a life of it's own on the ...

VIDEO: Titans’ owner Bud Adams flips the Bills the bird
read and react — Here’s 86-year-old Titans’ owner Bud Adams expressing his feelings toward the visiting sidelines at the end of his team’s 41-17 home win over the Buffalo Bills.  Note the stylish triple-pump single birds followed by an emphatic double bird to finish it off. Bud, you sassy ole’ bastard, you. Word is Roger Goodell was actually in the owner’s box with Bud during the game … we’ll surely see what Roger has to say about this one.

The Middle Finger Is Bud Adams' Favorite Finger
No Guts, No Glory — Bud Adams had a grand ole time Sunday as his Titans' beat down the Bills. He worked himself up so much that he showed off his extra long middle fingers. Multiple times. The 86-year-old owner made an appearance on the sideline in the closing minutes, and even did a little dance as the Titans capped a 41–17 ...

Titans Owner Bud Adams Fires Off A Two-Fingered Celebratory Salute
Total Pro Sports — In the current NFL, commissioner Roger Goodell may seem like the Czar of anti-fun, but there are still plenty of great ways for both players and fans to celebrate touchdowns and victories.  Chad Ochocinco, for example, prefers the intrusive visiting player Lambeau Leap, which is likely to be met with some unexpected gestures from angry Packers fans.  Then there are the fans at the new Cowboy Stadium, who prefer celebrating a victory with a bathroom quickie. And finally we have Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams, who at 86 years old may seem a little old fashion, and the same can be said for his ...

Bud Adams keeps it classy. What’d you expect?
Houston Diehards — Here’s our old friend in Nashville, celebrating in I guess the only way he knows how. Let me just say this though - to me, this is a non-story. Of all the evils he’s committed, all the horrible, horrible things he’s done - this is not even a blip on the radar. So what, he’s a confused elderly man who doesn’t even put his own pants on anymore. Let’s just be glad he didn’t yank out his adult diapers and shower the fans with it.

Crazy Old Man Gives Bills The Bird [Nfl]
Deadspin — Unfortunately, that grumpy coot just happens to be the owner of the Tennessee Titans and his affinity for the ol' double deuce is now immortalized on YouTube. If you have hands, feel free to nervously wring them. That's 86-year-old Bud Adams saluting Buffalo's magnificent fourth-quarter collapse against the Titans on Sunday. Or maybe he was just saying goodbye to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell who watched the game from Adams' owner's box, but presumably left early to beat the private helicopter traffic. Or maybe he wanted to say "We're number one!" but broke his index fingers trying to ...

I continue to detest the Titans
Gheorghe: The Blog — Bud Adams clearly read G:TB's Bills/Titans preview. Here's his response.

Hat tip to Geoff for bringing this to my attention. ...

Titans Owner Flips Birds at Buffalo’s Bench
Intentional Foul — I’m not really sure what precipitated this, but Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams had two messages for the Buffalo Bills’ bench after his Titans had secured their third win of the season, and these messages involved birds, flipping, and middle fingers. 86-year-old Adams has since apologized for his finger bombs, saying he was caught up in the moment. Not only does Adams flash his birds at the Bills bench, he does so in a celebratory method, almost like he’s dancing and his middle fingers are just an extension of his joy. Or disdain for the ...

BUD ADAMS SALUTES THE BUFFALO BILLS
Unathletic — I suppose this is what they mean when they say someone has “fuck you” money.  There’s just something about Bud Adams that makes me think his double-barrel is more cute than offensive.  I’m sure he’ll get fined for this, but when you’re the owner of a football team, any fine has got to seem like peanuts. The Bills have quite a history with the Titans/Oilers – the Music City Miracle and the Bills’ 32-point comeback in a 1993 playoff game – so I imagine Bud gets really amped up any time his team faces the Bills.  In any event, ...

NFL Week 10: Winners and Losers
Sports Pickle — WINNERS 1. Super Bowl XLIII.5 -- Patriots-Colts was entertaining. But I wasn't impressed by the stuff outside of the game. The Super Bowl ads, for example. In fact, I don't think I saw a single new commercial. Guess it's the economy. But even though it's old, I do always get a good laugh at the "Unstoppable ... Eli Manning is" commercial for Citizen. Hilarious. Maybe the funniest Super Bowl ad ever. In addition to the ads, the halftime show sucked, too. Olbermann & Patrick? Ugh. Such a lame group. I think they have an even older target audience than the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen. 2. Bud Adams -- The 86-year-old owner of the Titans decided ...

Bud Adams flips off the Buffalo Bills: Video
Sports Rubbish — The best thing about being 86-years-old is that you can do whatever you damn well please. Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams not only is old, he’s also rich, which gives him double the excuse to do whatever he wants. His Titans destroyed the Buffalo Bills 41-17 on Sunday, and he was excited, so he aimed his middle fingers at the Buffalo sideline and flipped off the Bills. Adams will probably be fined by Roger Goodell, who actually was at the game and watched for a time with the owner, but when you’re old and you’re rich, who cares? Other ...

Bud Adams Shows Bills His Middle Fingers
Every Morning Quarterback — Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams stuck both of his middle fingers in the air like he just didn’t care yesterday as the Titans were wrapping up a 41-17 win over the Buffalo Bills. I’m not sure what would possess an 86-year-old man to do this in front of 70,000 people. It’s bad enough when a player does it, but when an owner goes down this road, it’s pretty embarrassing. What’s with “the finger” anyway? It’s like the Jerry Seinfeld joke. It seems like such an arbitrary, ridiculous thing to just pick a finger and show it to someone. It’s a finger. What does it mean? Who invented this as an obscene gesture? Someone shows me one of their fingers and I’m ...

Bud Adams Fined $250K for Flipping off the Bills
Music City Miracles — That's the dumbest thing I've heard of recently. The idea of the NFL adjusting fines based on how much somebody makes is a Pandora's Box: does a helmet to helmet hit get a lesser fine for Dave Ball than KVB? This fine should have been $25,000, and saying otherwise is just crazy. If you're going to make the argument that he's a billionaire then $250,000 won't matter much more. Bill Belicheat only got twice this much FOR CHEATING DURING A GAME. Also, Bud had already apologized. The NFL is officially out of control with these fines. /ripped from August's ...

Monday – Bud Adams paid for it. The NFL announced today they have fined Adams $250,000 for making an obscene gesture at Buffalo fans while celebrating Tennessee’s victory over the Bills.

Buffalo Bills Fire Dick Jauron; Bud Adams Fined $250,000
Obsessed With Sports — Just when you thought there was nothing NFL-related to talk about in Buffalo or Tennessee. I wrote a month ago that owner Ralph Wilson might be looking into a change at the position of Head Coach. It looks like the tipping point came soon after Titans owner Bud Adams flipped Ralph Wilson the bird during their 41-17 destruction of the Bills. Today, Dick Jauron was fired by Wilson as the Bills are off to a 3-6 start. There is no big surprise here as this was widely speculated a month ago. It’s just great to see an 86 year old man flip off a 91 year old man. It’s ...
