Tennessee Titans – Bud Adams:

If you were a super-rich 87-year-old who just doesn’t give a damn, would you: A) flip the bird in the direction of an opposing team’s sidelines from your luxury box as your team is triumphing in a football game; B) order your head coach, one of the league’s best, to football jerseys
make a quarterback switch a week before he was otherwise inclined; C) after the QB switch turned out to be a great move, publicly gloat that it was your idea, thus undermining the coach’s authority; D) give quotes to reporters lambasting the “big mistakes” that your coach and general manager have made, a season removed from an AFC-best 13-3 campaign; or E) all of the above? Yep, the answer is E, as Adams most certainly was a freak of the industry this past year. While Adams’ middle-fingered salutes, presumably to Bills counterpart and old AFL rival Wilson (I’d love to know what’s going on there), wasn’t particularly offensive to me, it probably didn’t play as well in the Bible Belt, and it did reduce Adams’ personal wealth by $250,000. Of nfl football jerseys
course Adams did the same thing, figuratively, to coach Jeff Fisher after the team’s disastrous 0-6 start, insinuating that the coach’s job was in jeopardy and forcing him to bench quarterback Kerry Collins(notes) for Vince Young(notes). (Fisher would have likely waited a week so that Young, who’d been mentally fragile after being booed by the home fans in the previous season’s opener, could make his debut on the road.) Give Adams credit: Young’s insertion into the lineup gave the Titans a spark, and Tennessee won eight of its final 10 games. That, of course, was a testament to Fisher’s coaching, but Adams has taken every opportunity to remind us that he was responsible for the turnaround. What can I say? The man is an accidental genius – and he just doesn’t give a damn, which I must admit makes him a fascinating figure. On the nfl jerseys wholesale
other hand, he’s notoriously cheap. What does it say when a team’s star player (Chris Johnson) publicly calls his employer “a team that is not known for [paying]”?
