Beerball Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Bob Kravitz reaction: Bob Kravitz ✔ @bkravitzllow There was a sad inevitability to Jim Irsay's arrest. He's been struggling for some time now. Hope he gets help. So not exactly shocking to those who spend time around the team. Another article mentions past struggles with pain killers.

bobobonators Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 there's something about Irsay that really rubs me the wrong way. Now I know he was completely plastered when he tweeted about the Richardson trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Have a source who worked in the Indy FO for 15 years. He was in rehab for painkillers 15 years ago. Didn't know he had issues currently but not surprised. He is a different guy for sure, but a really nice person;. Polian really kept in check when he was there, but now there is no one in that President/CEO role and Grigson is Irsay's puppet. Not good.He loves attention and PR. This is worst way to get it.

shane nelson Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Like father. like son...................but Jim is a great owner. His father Robert was a real ass. If you ever get a chance watch the "The Band that Would not Die" Excellent film on the Colts leaving Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max997 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 This kind of ruins my impression of Jim Irsay now though because if he was trashed while sending those tweets I completely understand as I've found some not so pleasant stuff on my phone the morning after I've had more then a few I sometimes wished I had an app with a breathalyzer that would lock my phone in the event I've had too many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
