When I was younger and more carefree about my office behavior, I worked in a place where the various supervisors spent the day playing pranks on one another and then flipping one another the bird as a thank you for the prank.
We eventually got into trouble, because the “DOUBLE FINGERS” salute was difficult to hide in a huge open office. Especially when you were casting it as someone 25 yards away. You might be shocked to learn, THAT WE GOT INTO TROUBLE – and were told NOT to flip the bird in the office anymore.
So what we started to do was SAY it. We’d call each other and HISS into the phone “DOUBLE FINGERS!” when we found hand lotion all over the receiver of our phone or some such thing.
Now, I was oh, 24? Young.
I should think that a gentleman of Bud Adams’ age would know that flipping the bird at work………is just a no no. He was after all, IN HIS OFFICE – so to speak.
The fine was pretty out of line – I mean, it’s not like he leaned down and yelled SUCK MY BALLS or something. Which would totally be WORTH the 250k in my opinion. Plus, it would’ve been far feckin funnier.
I’m serious – owners and coaches and players. If you are going to pull a fine, make it more entertaining. From now on – I only want stuff they can’t say on the news.
I have spoken. Make it so.
