Bud Adams Fined

Owner of the Tennessee Titans Bud Adams was fined today by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. It comes a day after Adams flipped the bird to the Buffalo Bills. It was one of the biggest fines by the Commissioner. By flipping the bird it cost Adams $250,000.

In a league where Commissioner Goodell is trying to improve behavior and when you go to a game they have recordings on proper behavior inside the stadium Goodell took a hard line stance on inappropriate behavior by an owner. I could not agree with Goodell more on his decision. The NFL has too many issues off the field and the last thing the NFL needs is to see this from an owner. No matter how many times Adams apologizes (which he did) this is truly a black eye for the NFL. To add insult to injury Goodell was at the game and did sit with Adams for some of the game.
