wiffleball 4,682 Posted June 4, 2009 Sorry but that statement makes you sound stupid! ya think? In Tennessee, Titans owner Bud Adams was happy to stick it to Houston by picking native Houstonian Vince Young. However a number of the Titans fans wished that they picked Vanderbilt quarterback Jay Cutler. http://www.fanhouse.com/tag/Bud+Adams/ Oops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phurfur 70 Posted June 4, 2009 ya think? http://www.fanhouse.com/tag/Bud+Adams/ Oops. Sorry, the statement is dumb and it shouldn't be repeated. How do you stick it to someone by drafting a player they passed on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,682 Posted June 4, 2009 Sorry, the statement is dumb and it shouldn't be repeated. How do you stick it to someone by drafting a player they passed on? Man, it's not that hard Phurphie. Spose VY actually didn't lose his mind, Wasn't functionally retarded and had the ability to do more than one read without saying "wanna ride bikes?" If VY had lived up to even half the hype, Bud would be all over the place saying "Houston screwed up!" He knew the Houston fans - especially the 4th warders - and the UT tards - were all over Vince's jock. Vince succeeds and he gets lifetime bragging rights to lord over Houston. It's pretty much common knowledge in these parts. He ignored the calls to pick up their own local boy (who ended up being the far better QB) just because of his antipathy toward Houston. - Where he is largely reviled and routinely disparaged.

I get what you are saying but I'm not buying it. No way do you use a first round pick to "stick it to someone". I am sure this had nothing to do with the pick.

wiffleball 4,682 Posted June 4, 2009 I get what you are saying but I'm not buying it. No way do you use a first round pick to "stick it to someone". I am sure this had nothing to do with the pick. Well, FWIW, I'm not the only one saying it. Most importantly, (Merill) Hoge claimed that coach Jeff Fisher “fought like crazy” to keep the Titans from drafting Young, who was drafted (per Hoge) because Titans owner Bud Adams wanted to stick it to the franchise’s former city of Houston. The current NFL franchise in Houston, the Texans, had the first pick that year and passed on Young. Hoge says that Adams then ordered the powers-that-be to take Young. From the same article: Among other things, Hoge said that Young was recruited to attend Oklahoma, and that the folks at Oklahoma pulled the plug because he “was the most immature crybaby they’d ever met.” Hoge also said that, during the Week One game against the Jaguars, when Young reportedly tried to pull himself out of the game and later got hurt, some of the defensive players were happy, since they believed it gave the team a better chance to win the game. Hoge also dredged up an incident from 2006, when Young missed the team plane for a road game. Hoge says that, after Young caught up with the team, he pulled his hood over his head and cried in the locker room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
