MYFOXNY.COM - The NFL has fined Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams $250,000 for making an obscene gesture at Bills fans.
It happened Sunday in Nashville. After the Titans beat the Bills 41-17, Adams was seen "flipping off" fans from his luxury suite at the stadium.
Adams apologized later in the day for the display of his middle fingers.
"I do realize that those types of things shouldn't happen," Adams said in a statement. "I need to specifically apologize to the Bills, their fans, our fans and the NFL. I obviously have a great deal of respect for 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."
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell happened to be at the game Sunday and even had breakfast with Adams that morning.
He was in the suite with Adams until the fourth quarter of the game.
