	Bud Adams at AllExperts
		Bud Adams was one of the charter team owners in the former American Football League, which was announced in 1959 and played its first games in 1960.
		Adams and the other AFL owners received a tremendous boost in credibility and net worth when the merger of the AFL with and into the NFL was announced in 1966, effective with the 1970 season.
		Adams is said to have arranged his affairs in such a way as to ensure the team will remain in his family's possession after his death, which appears in no way to be imminent as he has the appearance of a man in remarkably good health for his advanced age.

		Adams served as an aide in the U.S. Navy's Congressional Liaison Office in Washington D.C. prior to his discharge in 1946.
		Adams parlayed a 1946 chance stop in Houston, resulting from fog that grounded his plane, into a highly successful and diversified business empire which ranks him among the prominent businessmen in the country.
		Adams chairs the Titans Executive Committee and is currently a working member on several prominent NFL committees, including the NFL's Finance and Hall of Fame Committees; and he is a Trustee for the NFL Trust.

		Bud doesn't have as much to do here as he did in "Buck privates" or "Hold that Ghost" and he doesn't get a chance to show off his straightman skills, but that is compensated by Lou's scenes.
		Bud is in there with another baker, Joe (Bud's real life stand-in) and we learn Bud is a maintenance man. Lou tells Dizzy (another baker, played by Shemp Howard who also played an identical role in Buck privates).
		Bud and Lou talk Tommy into not running after them on the grounds he'll get into a fight with Dynamite, be taken off to the brig, which will give her more opportunities to take his photo.

	Bud Adams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adams was so embarassed that he scrapped plans to play the 1998 season at the Liberty Bowl, and instead opted to play at Vanderbilt after all.
		In fact, Adams' desire to ensure that no NFL team in Houston would revive the Oilers name was thought to be one of the major causes of the delay in announcing a new name for the team; he did not desire the experience which had occurred with the "Cleveland Browns" name to be repeated.
		Adams was again criticised for his decision not to renew the contract of the team's president, returning to that role himself despite continuing to live in Houston and appearing in Nashville generally only on home game days and occasional Titans-related events.

		Adams' team was the best of the beginning period of the AFL, winning the first two championship games behind the quarterbacking and kicking of former Bears reject George Blanda, and losing the third in sudden death overtime in what was until that point the longest game of American football ever played.
		Whether Adams will revert to his past tendencies to micromanage the team remains to be seen, but it will be seemingly somewhat more difficult for him to do than it was when the team was based near him in Houston.
		Adams was also, like several other NFL owners, awarded the rights to operate an Arena football franchise in Nashville, to replace the former Nashville Kats, which left for Atlanta at the end of the 2001 season, and to revive the former team name.
