Associated Press:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams apologized Monday for making an obscene hand gesture while celebrating his team’s 41-17 win over Buffalo.
The 86-year-old Adams was seen throwing an emphatic series of middle fingers from a luxury suite at LP Field in Nashville, Tenn., after the Titans (3-6) had secured the blowout over the Buffalo Bills (3-6), which included 24 straight points in the fourth quarter.
Adams apologized in a statement, saying: “I need to apologize for my actions yesterday near the end of the game. I got caught up in the excitement of a great day, but I do realize that those types of things shouldn’t happen. I need to specifically apologize to the Bills, their fans, our fans and the NFL.
“I obviously have a great deal of respect for [Bills owner] 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.”
It’s too bad Adams was forced to give an apology due to his stature.
I bet if he were to release an honest statement, it’d read more like this:
“I was drunk and my team has won three straight games since I called for Vince Young to start at quarterback. And the fact that we were kicking the crap out of Ralph’s Bills made it even better. Especially since he signed that jerk off T.O. So eff off everyone — I’m 86, which makes me way too old to give a damn what anyone thinks.”
Mr. Adams — you are Kinda Fantastic. Keep those fingers flying.
