theesir Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Wow $250,000!!!! That's $125,000 a finger !!!!! Plus he came all the way to Buffalo to do it apparently... It happened Sunday in Orchard Park. After the Titans beat the Bills 41-17, Adams was seen "flipping off" fans from a luxury suite at the stadium. http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/national/0...Bud-Adams-Fined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgang Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Maybe Bud can pay Wilson to put toward the "Fix the Front Office and Coaching Staff" Fund. It would at least defray the cost of terminating Dick's contract early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Bills!!! Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/...ills-were-no-1/ Seriously, did the Bills pull a Joey Porter and talk smack this week I am unaware of? Wonder if he throat punched a handicapped kid on the way out and ran over some kittens in his limo. I mean, I expect this from juiced up, over stimulated players, not 86-year old geriatrics. Ralph needs to rocket a tennis ball down Bud Adams' throat!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Got what he deserved. Goodell was in his box until the 3rd qtr then was in the stadium when this happened. (from Mortimus on sportscenter) Agreed, Owners need to be leaders on sportsmanship. Flipping two birds by an owner is a lot more serious, IMO, than a player who's endured 3 hours of fan taunting and has a lot of adrenaline flowing doing the same thing.

zow2 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Mort was saying that Goodell went to sit in the stands in the 4th Qtr to help in his quest to make stadiums more "family friendly". I'm sure part of this fine was him being pissed since that behavior is exactly what he is trying to root out... from an owner no less. Good for commish.

manateefan Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Apparently I'm in the minority here, but that old coot doing that does piss me off. Giving the Bills the finger and complaining about them is a privilege that should be reserved to those who have an emotional attachment to them. I only say that half-jokingly. It's fine if you think the Bills deserve it, but it's not him who should be doing it. F that stupid old bastard. I agree with you!!! It just wasn't that they did it to the Bills but in the year they are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the AFL (which the NFL always considered second class) I found it very offensive.

DC Tom Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 And as though flipping off the Bills wasn't insulting enough, he's got to do it directly over a great big Frank Wycheck sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senator Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 a quarter of a million dollars as much as i hate the guy for disrespecting the bills.. that amount is absurd and excessive, imho. i bet it gets reduced on appeal. man, the commish doesn't take crap from nobody "I do realize that those types of things shouldn't happen," Adams said in a statement. "I need to specifically apologize to the Bills, their fans, our fans and the NFL. I obviously have a great deal of respect for Ralph Wilson and the history we have shared. I also understand there will probably be league discipline for my actions and I will accept those." He already said he'd accept the consequences, so going back on his word would kinda make him an 'Indian-giver', no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
