Considering the closest oil plays to Nashville are the Gulf and quasi, the Utica being an oily gas which are both 500+ miles away, kinda random to keep the Oilers name. Illinois basin is closer but that's hardly a play.

Wish when the Texans were created they had just become the Oilers again. What was Bud Adams gonna do with the the Oilers logo? Nothing.

First pro football team my family cheered for until the Saints were created. Always a soft spot for the Oilers/Titans.

Bud Adams was a nice man. Really a brilliant businessman as well.

Bud Adams was a total a-hole and obviously a horrible business decision.

To quote Bum Phillips after the Oilers AFC championship try...last year we knocked on the door, this year we beat on the door, and next year we're going to kick the son of a bitch in!

Oilers were my team growing up, that '92 AFC playoff loss to the Bills i never got over, Jack Pardee was a clown

Loved that blue and Bum, of course. Now if the Titans could get rid of the flaming a$$hole T I'd be much happier.

Yes, frick Bud Adams. He was a complete a-hole. Unlike when the Browns left Cleveland and Modell said he hope Cleveland got another team and could name it the Browns, Bud said frick y'all, Im taking the team changing the name and you can't use the Oilers name

It is the property of the Adams family. Anyone who gets mad at them for using their intellect property needs to reevaluate their life.
