Bud "The Birdman" Adams

Ah, to be old.  Everyone always says, "oh, to be young again."  Screw that!  When you're old, you can get away with anything.  You can use racial slurs, make comments about gay people, and to hell with turn signals.  Those are for the inexperienced.  When you're old, you get where you're going at the expense of others.  It just takes longer.  Much, much longer.  And, when those incredibly offensive things do come out of your mouth, you can just blame the senility.

Bud Adams, owner of the Tennessee Titans, used the advantages of being old to the hilt when he flipped the bird to the fans in Buffalo.  He was double fisting the bird like John Daly double fists Budweiser.  It was a beautiful sight.  Up in the owner's box, flipping it left and right.  And rightfully so!  

Few groups of people deserve to be told where to go more than Bills fans.  They're obnoxious, dirty, aggressive, drunk, vile people.  Not to mention the fact that they're still living off the memories of when they were good.  But not good enough to win.  Four straight Super Bowls and you can't win one?  On top of that, the best player in their history is a double murderer.  

To make it even better, after the game, down on the field, Bud continued to tell the fans what he thought.  Walking across the field after the 41-17 Titans win, gleefully fingering the fans of Buffalo.  The only thing that would have made it better was if he walked up to Terrell Owens and questioned the moral integrity of T.O.'s granmama.    I wish Bud Adams was my grandfather.  I'd bring him everywhere with me because he can say all the things I'm thinking and can't get away with saying.

I can't wait to be 85 years old.  The day I get my AARP card, the guy behind the counter at the 7-11 is going to hear it.
