All Tennessee has is country music and a southern drawl.

Titans fans and Tennessee-ans, proceed to hit the thumbs down

Mario is a good fit for Buffalo. Now crazy Bud can overspend on a pass rusher and a corner. I bet you when we hear the numbers tomorrow he’ll end up paying crazy money to Wimbley. Mario is much better than Wimbley.

I guess Philadelphia fans should thank bills owner Ralph Wilson for not breaking bank to sign vick. I mean there are only about 101 hypothetical situations that go on during free agency. The only person bills fans need to thank is Ralph Wilson.

Remember a couple years back when Bud Adams was caught on camera flicking off a group of Bills fans at a game in Tennessee? What a crazy old redneck he must be.

Never thought a Houston fan would thank Bud Adams for anything ever again, but on behalf of Texans fans for keeping both Peyton and Mario out of our division – thanks, Bud!

So once again no one thinks Buffalo could have possibly got Mario because of what we did, have, or showed him…we needed “help” from others’ mistakes in order to get him…what a crock…he chose Buffalo for the money AND the people & community that he actually bothered to visit and get to know…end of story

To all the Bills haters Mario Williams was asked to drop in coverage one in every three snaps as a 3-4 OLB. In Buffalo is going to be a 4-3 DE and is only going to be asked to rush the passer and set the edge on run plays. BTW Mario is third in the league with .79 sacks per game started in his career. The only guys better than that are Demarcus Ware and Jared Allen, pretty good company if you ask me! Ohh yeah, he is going to play next to Marcel Dareus and pro bowler Kyle Williams. Ignorant people like Colin Cowherd just can’t imagine why he chose Buffalo. Mario and his fiance figured out in just 2 days that it is a great place to live and raise a family.

Go Bills!!!!

This story is every Titans fan’s nightmare. Until Bud Adams drops dead, I’m afraid his franchise will never be relevant.

And you can thank ESPN, NFL, Yahoo, and Twitter for your stories. Bills fans can thank Bud Adams, Jesus Buffalo gave him 100 million, wow thank you Bud Adams without you we would be floundering because obviously “pft” knows who we should thank. God, terrible journalism!

Everyone who thinks the Bills overpaid need to actually look at the contract..they would then realize that it is very team friendly with the team holding all the cards after year 2, plus injury clauses. If the Bills decide to part ways after 2 years it would cost only 40 mil…yes thats still lots but far far from the 100 mil that everyone is saying they paid for him.

Go Bills!

As a Buffalo fan, Ill consider this sufficient payback for the forward lateral of 1999

I’m so glad if that really took place. Bud Adams deserves any shizzle that comes his way. Too bad for the fans to have such a crummy human being for your owner.

Glad to see an owner admitting that Peyton Manning chase may have affected his other needs in FA. But in the end, I think missing on Mario was good.

Sign Kameron Wimbley and get him to put his hands on the ground like Robert Mathis! Wimbley not as imposing as Mario, but still is a beast, and will be effective and cheaper.

And maybe Mario Williams would have picked the Bills all along. A lot of hypotheticals here with no substance.

It’s never good when the owner doesn’t want to listen to the football guys that he is paying for! Either way it didn’t cost the Titans to much, Mario was overpaid. The Texans paid him 1 million per sack when he was here, if he plays as good with the Bills he will get 2 Million per sack. Money well spent right LOL

Good luck with that winning team known as the Bills. At least Mario will have the money to stay warm.

Payback for the Music City Miracle.

I’m sure Buffalo fans are happy their own owner is ancient and not ancient and crazy.

And all you Titans fans claiming you wouldnt have wanted him – BULLSH!T

Every single one of you would be on here loving the pickup if it had happened.

that’s a fact, Mario Williams wanted to be the MAN! Considering the Bills and Titans were both “decent” teams last year, the Titans would be just as pumped as Buffalo is right now. Mario went where he was wanted, good for him. Bud Adams is an idiot for offering ownership to a guy who is a forever-Colt and would not have the talent to turn the Titans into Super Bowl-Champion Titans next year.

Another thing Peyton did for the Colts. Kept one of the best pass rushers in the game from going to one of the Colts division rivals. Thanks again, Peyton.

Wow – Budnik must’ve blown this one good. I mean, c’mon, Peyton went to school in TN, did his college time there and left a decent legacy, yet Budnik could not sell TN back to Peyton?

Either Bud couldn’t sell popsicles in hell, or he really is a messed-up owner. And to think I thought Al Davis (RIP) was losing the grip, now look at this guy……….

@rascalmanny

I didn’t realize it was you paying Williams. Oh wait, it’s not. The kid is an absolute game changer and the Bills and Titans have been spinning their wheels for awhile now. Great move by the Bills to lock him up and add a big piece to that team while Titans fans can continue to make excuses why they have another losing season.

Now you see why the city of Houston despises that guy. “Bottom line” Bud will never learn. That is why he has never won crap. Glad he and his sorry org reside outside the great state of Texas.

Sometimes you have to make tough decisions. Manning would have helped them more than Williams would have. Now they have plenty of cash to spend elsewhere.

He never left Buffalo, so how exactly where you going to get him?

By: monkeesfan

monkeesfan — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:16:29 +0000

Mario is not worth what the Bills paid him.

People are ripping Bud Adams for “meddling” but it made sense for the Titans to look at Manning, and given the Titans have been a winning organization most of their 15 seasons in Tennessee, it made sense for Manning to consider Tennessee.
