As news broke Wednesday evening that Indianapolis Colts owner, Jim Irsay, had passed away, I was struck by shock and sadness. Irsay’s battles have been well chronicled, and his overall health had not looked superb over the last year or so. Still, it was unsettling to hear the only owner of the franchise I had ever known was gone at the age of 65. Irsay, like most prominent figures and sports franchise owners, had his supporters and his detractors. Some fans felt fortunate to have him in their corner, while others would have liked him to take different avenues or approaches to the team.
No one loved their team and players more than Colts owner, Jim Irsay
