Campy Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Glad he didn't hurt or kill anyone, and I only hope he'll get the help he needs to get (and stay) clean and sober. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwalter Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I wish they would have let him use twitter from his cell i can't tell if this is a joke, but if it is - i think this has more truth to it than you might expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Lest we forget that Irsay's father Bob had alcohol issues. Like I said, Jim Irsay is a really good person. I hope he gets the help he needs before it is too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is worth $1.6 billion so he may be able to get out of it for the most part. If this was you or I we would be wearing a jumpsuit for a LOOOOOONG time.

boyst Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I really do not want to laugh at this or find any humor because ones inner demons are generally personal and the most destructive. (which is why I have avoided this) But, with this guys persona I would enjoy seeing him on Celeb Rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 And then there's this D-bag, who made a big deal about leaving the league for health reasons: http://deadspin.com/ex-nfler-who-quit-over-health-concerns-arrested-on-drug-1545636811 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was you or I we would be wearing a jumpsuit for a LOOOOOONG time. depends on the details i suppose. if it were a first offense for you and i and its not an obscene number of pills - you might see treatment, community service and a mountain of non-jumpsuit wearing hoops to jump through.

RealityCheck Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Sounds like a fun dude. He should be able to buy his way out of most of this. If I were him, I would have a full time driver. A little rehab and some good old American PR and everyone will forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KellyToTasker Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The Colts fans I know love him - he keeps things interesting, always wants to win, and engages with the fans (even if through social media). It doesn't excuse what he did. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. The NFL needs to hold him to a higher standard - virtue of his position. I hope he recovers, acquires the help that he apparently needs, and comes back a better person and owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Certainly an interesting situtation for thr NFL to respond to though. If Jim wants to get loaded , i dont care. as long as he isnt driving. Thats just being an adult . If he has issues he wants to work on then he has my support and i hope he succeeds . Pretty crazy **** though for a man in his position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post, I got a DUI 12 years ago and will never get behind the wheel under the influence ever again. I hope he learns his lesson without injuring himself or others.

mrags Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 You mean to tell me that an NFL owner that has a net worth of 1.6B can't hire a freaking driver to take him wherever he needs to go? Un-freaking-believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Un-freaking-believable. Sounds like the issue is that especially once people around him pushed for the driver it would mean admitting he had a problem. As ND said, if he's truly in the shape being portrayed by a few sources.... Rational thinking is going to be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
