The NFL Does Not Appreciate Bud Adams’s Enthusiasm

What happens when you flick off an entire crowd of people? If you’re NFL owner Bud Adams -- who happened to be sharing a box with notoriously uptight league commissioner Roger Goodell during Sunday’s phalanx display -- you enjoy your moment in the sun as much as possible, because you better believe it’s costing you.

↵Yes, the 86-year-old Adams was fined $250,000 by the NFL for his obscene gestures Sunday, which would be a lot of money to most NFL players. Alas, when you’re worth $1.1 billion immediately after the worst financial crisis of in 80 years, $250k is merely the cost of doing middle-finger business. Bought, and sold.
