Bud Being Bud
Bud Adams decided to let go of the executive who's overseen his team's success in recent years, in order to hire himself for the job:
Oh, you poor dumb Tennessee fans. What were you thinking when you coaxed his fat ass out of Houston to Nashville?Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams did not renew Jeff Diamond's contract as team president today to take the job back for himself.
Diamond was hired in July 1999, and the Titans went 56-24 in that stretch with one AFC championship. They also reached the playoffs four of those five seasons.
But Adams, who turned 81 on Jan. 3, said in a statement that he needs to be more directly involved in managing the team and the company that oversees The Coliseum, Tennessee's home stadium.
"We are facing some challenging issues on and off the field, and I intend to be personally involved in seeing to our businesses," Adams said.
Granted, he's behaved pretty well over the last few years. But it won't last. It never does.
I'm so glad that sack of sh!t no longer has anything to do with the Houston sports scene.

Thanks for the link to the book. I am glad to know that Adams's many sins are chronicled in a single location.

Yeah, and for $1.95 it's kind of hard to pass up. I need to go order a copy.

My sentiments exactly! Those poor fools.
