Titans owner fined for obscene gesture

The 86-year-old Adams was fined for giving a one-finger salute from his luxury suite during the Titans 41-17 win over Buffalo Sunday. He issued an apology later Monday saying he got carried away in the excitement of the game.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who attended the game, said the fine was for conduct detrimental to the league.

Goodell watched part of the game from Adams' box but had left by the time the owner gestured to the fans.

“I do realize that those types of things shouldn't happen,” Adams said. “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.”
