Bud Adams let the middle fingers fly on Sunday — the 86-year-old Titans owner flipped the Buffalo Bills' sideline off on two occasions during the latter stages of his team's 41–17 win.

Now the NFL must decide whether they'll fine Adams for the gesture.

"We're looking into it,'' Greg Aiello, the NFL's Senior Vice President of Public Relations, said on Monday morning via email.

Aiello was in Nashville on Sunday, along with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and the two spent ...

Matt,

That was a very well thought out response to my post. I can't really dispute anything you said. All I can say is that I hope you're wrong about Fisher being done in Nashville, and I am a Vince Young guy.

In my opinion, and best case scenario for me, is for Adams not to fire Fisher, renew Vince's contract, and lets see how the season goes next year before doing anything drastic

What do you mean he undermined the coach? It's his own team, he OWNS the teams. I own a business and I let my manager run it for the most part but when I don't like some decisions, I make an executive decision, that's what an owner does. Fisher was being an idiot and Adams had to step in, right call. Who cares how he handled it, we have won 3 in a row. Fisher is a big boy he can handle it.

youre right, i didn't properly address what u said. and what you said is right. however, i feel fairly confident that i know why he went to the media.

fisher is done in nashville, but its gonna be a tough fire for bud adams without a doubt. fisher has carried himself with alot of class and has earned a lot of respect for many years. By leaking to the media this helps sway public tide against

Matt,

What about what Adams did was right. I'm not saying anything about his right to ask for Young to play. I'm not saying that whatsoever. He has every right to ask the Fisher to play Young. It's HOW HE HANDLED IT TO THE MEDIA! I even said that in the post above that it was the right call to make. The times were bad and Adams turned into Al Davis, and that is not what I or anyone with any

You make it sound as if it's honorable to be a southerner???

What a joke you are.

What's surprising to me is your ego.

Does being southern make you special???

Special Ed. maybe.

clearly he doesn't have class....he ripped the heart out of a million people over a decade ago.

thank your lucky stars nashville that he's "old texas" and lacks "class". you wouldn't have a team right now othwerwise

all that said, he has passion for the game and wants to win.

You don't like how he handled the qb situation? are you kidding? 0–6, 3–0. winning is all that matters.

i dont like how he has handled th coaching situation. each win is further proof that jeff fisher and many others were dead wrong about Vince

give us another one next week

here's to 10–6

I don't buy into that theory.

It's not where you're raised, it's how you're raised.

Let's not make it a Southern vs Texas thing.

Class vs no class

Don't forget, Adams is not a southerner. He's a Texan. They're a different breed. And he's an OLD Texan. This doesn't surprise me in the least.

Been an Oilers/Titans fan since 1975...This captures the essence of Bud Adams. Not a good thing.

Cheap,selfish, and as usual,socially stupid.

As long as Adams is around I truly feel we(yes,we), will never win a Super Bowl. This is the difference between Hall of Fame owners and this guy. I don't care what his reason is for doing it, you just don't display that action as an owner. Can't
