Bud Adams Gives the Buffalo Bills Sideline the Double Bird


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 directed 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 internet.  It is pretty unlikely that we will ever know what exactly was going through his head at that moment, but it will probably add even more fuel to the fire as we head toward the Monday Night Football meeting with the Texans.

From Clay Travis:

In 1999, these two teams brought America the Music City Miracle. Ten years later, meet the Music City Salute.

It will be interesting to see if Goodell does anything to Bud.

**UPDATE: Right on cue, the No Fun League is looking into Bud's salute.

Awesome awesome awesome

He didn’t just give it to ’em once, he went righty, lefty, righty, BOOM TWO HANDS, and shook it at ’em.

Absolutely hilarious

when you are that old

and that wealthy, i guess you do what you feel.

so how long before some talking head lumps this in with the towel stomping as more proof of a classless-to-the-core titans organization?

from a summary of the dan patrick show when florio was on

Florio and Dan both decided that Titans owner Bud Adams flipping off a fan was actually pretty cool for an 86-year-old guy.

I don't care what anyone else thinks, I loved it

I am guessing the 99% of Titans fans loved it too. Everyone knows of the bad blodd since the Miracle but I am guessing it goes back further. I am so tired of listening to Bills fans crying, “but it was a forward pass…” Funniest thing I have saw in a long time.

I've already screamed at length on this board about the evils of Bud Adams

…and how you guys have yet to experience his true nature… but this means nothing to me. Of all the stuff he’s done over the years, this doesn’t even register with me.

Look man, doing classless things doesn’t mean this is a classless organization. Don’t you get it?

Whoever Adams was flipping off…

… I’m sure they deserved it.

I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...

by steeler-hater on Nov 16, 2009 11:02 AM CST reply actions  

This is not that hard to understand.

Ralph Wilson got into the HOF this year, and his team’s history is no better nor longer than Bud Adams’. Meanwhile, Adams is unlikely to ever see the Hall, and yeah, oh by the way, the Titans have beaten the Bills in a couple of meaningful games. So Bud gives it to ‘em, ’cause he’s feeling it.

Those who are bothered by this

Relax a bit. I’m sure this is just one old-school guy having fun with another.

Hell, Bud and Ralph Wilson probably got together for a scotch and some smokes a la Mad Men last night and laughed about it. Probably complained to each other about how those young pups at the league had no sense of humor like back in the day.

No biggie. If that was meant for TV, he would have found an actual camera instead of some guy with a cell phone….

BOOM, TWO FINGERS!!!!

so we can criticize fisher for wearing a manning jersey when we're losing...

but laugh at bud when we’re winning? it all reflects on our team very poorly IMHO.

Let me rephrase that so I don't sound so dickish, cause that is not what I meant.

What LenDale/Jevon/53 did to the car wash rag and what Bud did to the Bills are different to me than what Fisher did.

Bud gave the finger to another team.

Fisher gave the finger to Titan fans.

I, for one, don’t give a flying rat’s rear end what the Bills and their fans or the Squeelers and their fans or anyone else and their fans think about Bud or LenDale or Vince or Chris Johnson as players or as people.
