The Indianapolis Colts held one of the most impressive records in the 2013 NFL season before being defeated in the playoffs. Their star quarterback Andrew Luck has fulfilled his name and gave a team a new life after the team traded their old franchise QB Peyton Manning. Everything starts looking for a team until the owner Jim Irsay does the stupidest thing that men can do in his position. Jim Irsay faced four criminal crimes after being arrested for driving under the influence and ownership of drugs in March. His net worth was very surprising. $ 1.6 billion and the team received a record of profits in 2013. Irsay also had an influence not only in the world of sports but the political arena with his bond with Harry Reid and John Edwards so what happened?
Jim Irsay was born outside Chicago. He was raised by his father who was Jewish and Mrs. Poland. He and his brothers and sisters Thomas and Roberta were raised by Catholics. They grow better financially than most. His father Robert Irsay is a Chicago businessman who buys a failed business and reverses them to sell it for profit. He gained ownership of the Baltimore Colts at the time in 1972 and remained the owner of the team until his death in 1997. Robert moved the Colts from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984.
Jim grew up surrounded by football through his father’s affiliation with the NFL. Irsay has a desire for sports and tries to establish himself as a professional player. At school he showed an impressive athletic ability to play linebacker for South Methodist University. But because of his dream the injury was cut short. But it’s all good, his father just led the line for Jim at the end of being the owner of the NFL team. Not surprisingly, he would grow up to take over his father’s team. His brother died of mental illness in 1999 and his sister died of a car accident in 1971 so Jim had full ownership of the team at the age of 37 years. It was a big position to be filled and the Empire was ready to take over. After legal wranglings with his stepmother who sued the ownership of part today Jim controlled 100% teams.
Irsay married Meg Coyle in 1980 and the couple had three children.
