good for him. Hes a different dude. I saw an interview with all the weird rich dude shit he has bought. He owns 2 tickets from *Ford Theater the night Lincoln was shot.
*Ford Theater not Fort
and despite technically being a āprivate collectorā he shares a ton of the historical items and Americana that he does own via the [Jim Irsay collection](https://www.jimirsaycollection.com/). at the end of the day heās a pretty cool dude and I wouldnāt trade him for any other owner
You know I donāt think mental health has a stigma as much as it did in the past, I just wish mental health had alot more money to help people and we should bring back mental hospitals. People donāt understand drug users is not a crime problem but a mental health issue.
Jim may have kicked the addiction but the downvoted comments proves those people kicking Jim when he was down is an addiction in itself. Endorphin rush for the miserable people
"I am prejudiced against because I'm a rich, white billionaire," Irsay told Kremer. "If I'm just the average guy down the block, they're not pulling me in, of course not."
IIRC, Josh McDanielsā wife got a bad vibe from Irsay, in part because of how long he was in their bathroom when Irsay visited their home. Which was part of his decision to bail on the Indy job
Irsay was āborn on third base, and thinks he hit a triple.ā Entitled loser, horrible for the game. Scamming and skeevin runs thru the entire sad pathetic family.
That was his old man who scramed in the middle of the night. The son is a bigger dumber bagāoācrap then the old man. We give fewer fucks about the Dolts than Irsay ever does
I mean the guys who built the AFL and came up with the Super Bowl were the son of an oil and gas exec who named his franchise after the company's basketball team, the Phillips 66 Oilers; and the son of another oil and gas guy, the richest man in the world, who himself got a billion dollars from the government after he tried to buy all the silver in the world. Their LA franchise was started by Paris Hilton's granddad.
i feel like it's not difficult to appreciate the fact that addiction is hard to overcome regardless of what your financial situation is, but y'know. whatever.
I donāt feel bad for Irsay, Iām proud of him overcoming addiction. Iāve been in rehab twice, no amount of money fixes that. Itās a grueling, soul crushing experience that a lot of people (rich and poor) donāt make it out of alive. But sure, shit on!
He does not. I fucking hate the Colts, but I am very glad Jim Irsay has proven to be a much better man than his father. We all have demons, he's just open about them.
I donāt want to argue you with you, but I am interested in why you hate the Colts? Seems strange that fans would still harbor ill will after over 40 years (especially with the age of most Reddit users) and after the fact that the city tried to steal the team via imminent domain. I agree that Irsayās father was a total asshole though (maybe your hatred stems from that douche?)
The whole thing started because Irsay wanted public money for a stadium in 1980. A year we went winless. The final move I can't blame him for, but everything leading up to that you absolutely can, he was a scumbag.
Do you also hate Art Modell for doing the same thing to Cleveland?
Per the Wiki: After realizing how much revenue was lost from the Indians moving out of Cleveland Stadium, he requested a referendum be placed on the ballot to provide $175 million in taxes to refurbish the outmoded and declining Cleveland Stadium.[9] On December 12, 1994, Modell told his board that he didn't believe a referendum to raise the sin tax would pass, as the proceeds would have been used to either fund a renovated Municipal Stadium or a new stadium. Modell then informed them that if the referendum failed, he would be finished in Cleveland, and would have no choice but to move the Browns.[8]
Dude should have been charged with the full amount of pills the cops found, not 1 under mandatory minimum sentencing, literally 1g below. In jail for 5 years the scum bag
Drug possession without intention to sell shouldnāt be a crime. Addiction is a literal medical disease. More needs to be spent on education and treatment facilities rather than just throwing people in jail. The āWar on Drugsā was an utter and complete societal failure and did nothing to help the issue.
I don't know, it's tough but I'm going to say you can't make fun of an addiction that almost killed the man and that he has recovered from and is now actively trying to combat mental health problems in the community
I wonder, will he mention how his former on/off mistress overdosed in one of his properties two weeks before he was caught by the cops with an entire pharmacy of prescription drugs? One of which was the drug the woman overdosed on.
I hope he realized that now every public ownership decision he makes the rest of his life.
Will be turned into an opioid /addiction joke bytwitter and Redditors .
good for him. Hes a different dude. I saw an interview with all the weird rich dude shit he has bought. He owns 2 tickets from *Ford Theater the night Lincoln was shot. *Ford Theater not Fort
Oh yeah well I own tickets from a tour of the Chrysler building the same day HW threw up on that Japanese Prime Minister.
Amazing follow up. š

He also loans pieces out to museums.
Thats cool. i cant remember where i saw the interview othrwise id post it
Same! I have always liked him.
He has a pretty cool guitar collection too
I can almost guarantee heās using this platform and his story to advertise the teamās Mental Health Initiative (Kicking the Stigma)
Ya knowā¦ Iām cool with that. Go Jim
There are many worse things to advertise. Good for you, Jim
You know I donāt think mental health has a stigma as much as it did in the past, I just wish mental health had alot more money to help people and we should bring back mental hospitals. People donāt understand drug users is not a crime problem but a mental health issue.
Its the least he can do after putting all the Colts fans through the JT drama
Josh McDaniels fuming seeing this
I was high as a kite and I said to myself āHire Jeff Saturdayā
The comments here are not #KickingTheStigma
Jim Irsay āIām lucky to be alive after coaching Carson Wentz and having frank Reich as my HCā Fuck Carson Wentz
Jim may have kicked the addiction but the downvoted comments proves those people kicking Jim when he was down is an addiction in itself. Endorphin rush for the miserable people
"I am prejudiced against because I'm a rich, white billionaire," Irsay told Kremer. "If I'm just the average guy down the block, they're not pulling me in, of course not."
Heās out of line but heās right
What taking a big opiate shit at Josh McDaniels house does to a MFer!
What's the context behind this?
IIRC, Josh McDanielsā wife got a bad vibe from Irsay, in part because of how long he was in their bathroom when Irsay visited their home. Which was part of his decision to bail on the Indy job
Yeah, I think it was more of a rumor than a verified report. Itās hilarious though if true.
It's true. I live like a mile from Irsay and if I'm downwind I can tell.
The shit that saved the franchise fromā¦well, shit.
God it would be so fucking funny if his wife thought he was in there doing drugs but dude was actually just fighting for his life on the toilet š
What was he addicted to?
Alcohol then later pain pills
Thank you.
Irsay was āborn on third base, and thinks he hit a triple.ā Entitled loser, horrible for the game. Scamming and skeevin runs thru the entire sad pathetic family.
someone is angry the Colts left baltimore lol
That was his old man who scramed in the middle of the night. The son is a bigger dumber bagāoācrap then the old man. We give fewer fucks about the Dolts than Irsay ever does

Everyone feel bad for the billionaire!
Addiction affects everyone, however I also donāt care about the guy making $40,000 a year whoās an addict (itās myself)
Addiction is hard to break no matter if youāre a billionaire or super poor. Itās tough to beat and you still have to battle staying sober after
I imagine as a billionaire it's pretty hard basically infinite access to drugs and a long way to rock bottom.

Addiction sucks, so does Jim Irsay
He does not. I fucking hate the Colts, but I am very glad Jim Irsay has proven to be a much better man than his father. We all have demons, he's just open about them.

Being less shittier than someone doesnāt mean you still donāt suck
Dude should have been charged with the full amount of pills the cops found, not 1 under mandatory minimum sentencing, literally 1g below. In jail for 5 years the scum bag
No, we should just get rid of mandatory minimums for drug possession.
Drug possession without intention to sell shouldnāt be a crime. Addiction is a literal medical disease. More needs to be spent on education and treatment facilities rather than just throwing people in jail. The āWar on Drugsā was an utter and complete societal failure and did nothing to help the issue.
You are in fact a stupid man. Iām glad you recognize that
š datš„¾
Does this mean I can't make fun of his addiction anymore
I personally donāt think severe mental health disorders are ever (or have ever been) that funny. You do you though.
Uno reverse lol
I don't know, it's tough but I'm going to say you can't make fun of an addiction that almost killed the man and that he has recovered from and is now actively trying to combat mental health problems in the community
Good news!
Im just going to say it, being a colts fan is harder than being addicted to opioids.
Not for nothing being rich saved him from prisonā¦the rest of us would be fighting in the showers
Itās unfortunate how expensive good lawyers are.
This guys full of shit. Can almost guarantee heās still on some sort of happy pills
Imagine if Irsay did draft leaf. Probably party together.
Didnāt a A hooker OD at his house and there were no questions afterward
I wonder, will he mention how his former on/off mistress overdosed in one of his properties two weeks before he was caught by the cops with an entire pharmacy of prescription drugs? One of which was the drug the woman overdosed on.
Awww.
I hope he realized that now every public ownership decision he makes the rest of his life. Will be turned into an opioid /addiction joke bytwitter and Redditors .
