While celebrating Tennessee's 41-17 victory over Buffalo, Titans owner Bud Adams flashed the one-finger salute to Bills fans, forcing NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to levy a $250,000 fine for conduct detrimental to the NFL. Adams, 86, seen making the obscene gesture while in his luxury suite and again on the field, is not the only one to face such a financial football fate. New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000 for the recent Spygate scandal and New York Jets former coach Eric Mangini was tagged $125,000 for violating league rules on injury reporting. Ironically, Adams hosted Goodell at a breakfast prior to the game. Although not certain who picked up the check, it's easy to see who's Number 1 in Nashville.
