dib Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I suspect there is history between the owners that is not being disclosed...it's hard to believe those gestures weren't aimed at Wilson. Maybe he was inquiring if Wilson wanted to come over for a boink?
Jerry Jabber Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Guess Adams is still pissed that the Bills had the greatest comeback in NFL history over his Oilers. Phuq that douchebag!!!
Sisyphean Bills Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 In a literal or figurative sense? Not sure Wilson would have made the trip. But considering RCW's staunch disapproval of franchise relocation, including Adams running the Oilers into the ground to get out of his lease in Houston, one suspects there may have been words exchanged between the two on that subject. Ralph, at the 1996 league meetings: "I think people who follow it very closely have lost a lot of respect for the NFL with all this shifting around of franchises and players. Pro football is such a tremendous sport if the owners and players don't ruin it." (Some irony there, in retrospect. As always, thanks to Sal Maiorana and Relentless -- you can find that quote in Vol. II.) My guess is it has something to do with more recent events and a sort of revisionist angle on some things from the past.
Chandler#81 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 IIRC, he also dropped trou at a wedding some years back, just before a big game vs. us. I think he was telling us who we needed to take out of the gameplan if we wanted to beat them.. Stay classy, Bud!
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Still stinging from "The Comeback?" You would think the "Music City Miracle" would have evened things out? Oh, wait... The comeback was against HOUSTON. Maybe he still has a thing for Houston?
Beerball Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 all is well, all is well...apology offered

Basically when Ralph dies the franchise MAY move afterall. What a cruel joke and stand Ralph is making by not letting go (the team) early.
cgang Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Wow, so Titan's owner flips off the Bills. That's like a tortoise flipping off a turtle after passing him down the highway. A comment from a Titan's fan that I agree with: "Until the Titans actually win something, its unclear what Bud Adams is proving. Other than the obvious, which is money and class are often mutually exclusive or that even the richest man in Tennessee is still white trash. For goodness sakes, Bud, you beat the Bills."
SteamRoller67 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Does this actually offend Bills fans? Doesn't offend me nearly as much as that Junior Varsity offense the Bills roll out week after week. As for Bud, what a spunky, old bastard... To be old, filthy stinking rich and not give a !@#$.
QB Bills Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 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.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Wait till next week when Wayne Weaver moons the Bills.

Kingfish Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Speaking of Bud Adams will the Titans be in the same boat as the Bills when Adams passes or is their a contingency plan in place?
truth on hold Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 LOL thats great. congrats Bills fans at away games. that might be the defining moment of the 09 season!!
CodeMonkey Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Maybe he was inquiring if Wilson wanted to come over for a boink? The Bills, and their owner, had already been boinked that day.
ET1062 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Wow, WGR just reported he was fined $250,000
realtruelove Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Wow, WGR just reported he was fined $250,000 Confirmed, just heard the same on NFL Network. Chump change to him.
FightClub Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Bud Adams knows that the only team he ever had to even reach the Super Bowl did it by cheating and throwing a forward pass in a game they lost, but the refs gifted them a win. And even with that help from the refs right through the playoffs, they STILL lost the Super Bowl. He knows in his heart he can never, ever live that down, and that he will never win a Super Bowl. All of those years of effort for nothing. So he acts like a child. Good for him.
Lori Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Bud, How's that for "defending the shield"? Hugs, The Commish
BuffaloBill Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Hmmm. The owner of a 3-6 team flipping the bird after beating ... one of the league's worst teams. That's some accomplishment there Bud. Exactly ... he has little to talk smack about.
