The NFL has fined Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams $250,000 for making an obscene gesture at Bills fans.
It happened Sunday in Nashville. After the Titans beat the Bills 41-17, Adams was seen "flipping off" fans from his luxury suite at the stadium.
Adams apologized later in the day for the display of his middle fingers.
But Rush Limbaugh and his values would be too inappropriate to include among NFL ownership, according to their lapdog commissioner.
And owners like this felt they were ‘too good’ to have Rush Limbaugh join them? I see....
Don’t throw Houston oilman Bud Adams into that “too good” for Rush crowd.
There must be something in the water at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
About 10-15 years ago, Bryan Cox (a Dolphins LB) walked out from under the tunnel with both middle fingers extended high in the air. It wasn’t a brief one either. He walked about 15 yards with both middle fingers extended high in the air.
They won’t take Rush but they’ll take Bud Adams???
It never got as far as the owners.
Bud Adams will always be a raving ass.
He destroyed the Oilers before cutting and running out of Houston for a much smaller city, and given time, he will do the same thing to the Titans.
A quarter mil flippin of the bird. Hope it hurts some, but it probably won’t.
I wouldn't know, I just drink the beer when I'm there. But just FYI, the game was played in Nashville not Orchard Park.

I am glad Adams took his sorry team to Tennessee. I have fond memories of the Luv Ya Blue days with Campbell, Pastorini, et al. But that team was dismantled and we had to endure Kenny Stabler in his has-been days, and eventually the Run 'N' Shoot.
After the playoff collapse to Buffalo in 91 (?), they should have slunk out of town in shame. Instead, they demanded a new stadium for their sorry franchise. IMO, the Oilers will always be the team that had the biggest choke in NFL playoff history (and this was a year or two after they lost to Denver in the playoffs after a 21-0 lead). The one thing you don't want your team to do when they take the field is embarrass the fans. They may not win, but you don't need to be humiliated.
Adams' latest gesture shows what a class act he is and always has been.
You cannot flip the bird from your box, but all felons can apply to play on the field.
Why apologize
Pay the fine and admit you meant it
Oh, I’m sorry. I assumed because Bud Adams was giving the finger to Bills fans, I thought he was doing it while at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
This article can’t be right...
Rush is the only ‘controversial’ one....
These NFL owners remind me of the Roman Caesars sitting in the Coliseum.
'93.
I am a Patriots fan, and have been going to Buffalo since 1993 to watch the Pats play the Bills.
I have to say, that has been one of the nicest places to watch a game. The fans are knowlegable and gregarious, even to Pats fans in team regalia. My group and I have gone out there every year except three since then, and the extent of fan abuse was getting an empty beer cup thrown at me from an upper level.
Buffalo is a pretty depressed area, but I have no complaints with their fans.
Barry O. flips people off all the time. He must have started the trend the way Slick started the oral sex trend.
