Bud Adams is awesome.
 

I haven't seen this discussed yet, but Bud Adams little stunt this weekend gave me a good laugh. I know people are going to whine and cry about it, but I love to see someone get amped up and I thought it was funny. Here's a youtube for those of you that have no clue what I'm talking about.

I thought it was fine. Who really cares? Why was he fined 250k? That seems totally ridiculous. You know he was just responding to the fans sitting in front of him doing the exact same stuff. It was all in good fun I think.

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

Was there a reason for the gesture or are we just looking at an 86 year old man who might be exhibiting signs of dementia? I am completely serious, I'd take it as a disturbing sign for the man's mental health, though I do not know if there is some extended back story that might suggest it is something else.

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

I think it is great that an owner in his 80's would be so into things. That said, he may wish to find a cheaper way to express his enthusiasm. $250k? Ouch.

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

im not a fan of it. i would be embarrassed if the DS did something like that, but thats just me and my view.

go skins!!

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

I'm pretty much a fan of ANY old man acting in such a way, so for an 86 year old billionaire to be dancing with guns'a'blazing is hilarious in my opinion.

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

Agreed. He's an old senile bastard, and made a fool of himself.

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....

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

bud adams is the man. i hate how he had to apologize for it

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

sadly, during a game in 2006 when JC had the wind knocked out of him, Mark Brunell jogged onto the field. People booed him like crazy and many people flicked him off.

Whats the big deal over Bud Adams doing it? seriously

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

I would think if Snyder did this people would be in a mega uproar around here.

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.

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

I guess I shouldnt be surprised that people dont understand the difference between a drunk fan giving the bird and the owner doing it, but I am surprised how many people dont get it.

Absolutely, just like they would be in a mega uproar if Snyder had publicly insisted the backup QB start.

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

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

While I have no problem with him flipping the bird the NFL is big business and in big business you can't do that without consequence.

Must say though I was rather amused. Kudos Bud, here's a Bud for You! :food-smil

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

got fined a pretty penny for that stunt lol quarter of a mill

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

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

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

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

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

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

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

Bud Adams needs a Sam Adams because that was AWESOME

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.

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

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.

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

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.

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

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. :D

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

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

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

Re: Bud Adams is awesome.
 

I ment to state that Rodger was in the box about 10 mintues prior to Bud going bird crazy. I was trying to focus more on the fact that the discussion being held was making NFL stadiums more fan freindly.

This being the case it makes his actions a little more aggregious.
