He obviously wishes he was a self mad man and hates the fact that we all now he’s not.

If it wasn’t for his daddy, this mofo would be on the street.

sixjak…I think you’re missing the point. Irsay is taunting people. He talks about having the money to buy a NFL team, even though he inherited the Colts. He brags about the team’s success, but even a donkey could have run the Colts with Manning as QB. Irsay comes across as an immature jerk born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Most of us could give a crap if he’s rich.

Congrat’s, Jim Irsay–you’ve removed any shadow of a doubt that you are just a jerk with money. You are a joke…don’t try to take credit for peyton manning falling into your lap. Keep tweeting…that way you won’t have to remove that silver spoon out of your mouth.

Nice tweets and cries for attention. Let’s see … other than a billion bucks of net worth, what exactly is the difference between Jim Irsay and Terrell Owens?

Weird dude. Weird weird dude.

Why does a mulit-millionaire need to be validated by Twitter?

You gotta love the 1%ers and their uppity attitude towards the non-rich. “Just let them eat cake!”.

Like someone said here a couple of days ago…
The guy was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple….

Great accomplishment….

“buy ur own team”? From a guy that didn’t buy his own team? He inherited it (after suing his stepmother) from his father, after earlier being named Vice President and General Manager by daddy at age 25.

This guy should be humble. Without his dad and Manning, he has nothing. I though the Colts had one of the most ineptly one-dimensional rosters of the last 20 years, and were plagued with terrible management & coaching decisions (oh, gonna rest the starters to end the season again – wonder how that’s gonna go?) yet thanks to Manning, they made something of it.

Don’t know much about his personal life, and kudos to him for opposing the Rush Limbaugh ownership debacle. But maturity and humility seem to be lacking.

Annoying, yes but I’ll cut Irsay some slack at least unlike half the players in the league he’s not out drunk driving and headbutting women.

If ever there was a guy that was born on third base yet was convinced that he’d hit a triple, it’s Jim Irsay

To be honest, I find Irsay’s smack pretty hilarious. It must be therapeutic for him to go to the same peanut gallery and do the same things as Joe Sixpack.

And yeah Florio, I seriously doubt you’re financially struggling. Unlike others, I won’t hold that against you. Making lots of money and paying your own way is a good thing. It once was the American way.

Oh.. And, Jim? If you dont want people to be critical of your strange behavior, dont act like an idiot.

How does that old saying go? “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt”.. something like that anyway. There are some words you might consider living by, Mr. Irsay.

Another thing, Jim. I am available for hire if you need someone to run your “Tweets” by before posting them. I promise not to let you allow yourself to come off as a complete baffoon.

I don’t think you give Irsay enough credit. If Luck is a star, let’s not forget how hard of a decision it was to part ways with Peyton Manning, bad neck or not. Gutsy move, and if Luck pans out, Irsay deserves some of that credit.
—————————–
The Colts were terrible without Manning and they would have had that first pick regardless of whether Manning stayed or left. Considering Mannings’ age and injury, was anyone suprised the Colts let him go? It wouldn’t have taken a genius to pick Luck with the #1 pick.

Next stop, psych ward. Irsay sounds like a mentally challenged Mark Cuban.

It is worth noting that the club was the only thing Irsay inherited from his father and he is currently one of the 50th wealthiest people in America. And amongst the top 5 wealthy owners in the league.

He started a very large step up from an average joe but he has built upon what he was given in a remarkable fashion.

That is a conveniently forgotten fact.

Was watching Jerry Maguire just now and never knew that Irsay played his boss in the movie. He looks alot younger in it (1996).

I have always considered Jerry Jones to be the biggest jackass/owner. Irsay is winning me over.

It’s no surprise that Irsay gets defensive when a little criticism comes his way……heck, rich guys who surround themselves with nothing but “yes”-man always get butthurt quickly.

And to think I used to passionately cheer for the Colts whenever they played Kraft and Belicheat’s Patriots. If Irsay had shown his true colors back then I may have gone the other direction.

Worst owner in pro sports. He overvalues himself and how much he helps that organization. He had Peyton Manning in his prime and failed to get him enough help to win more than one bowl. Any other team and Peyton has 3 rings.

Those of us in Bmore have long known that the Irsay family is a collection of classless, self-aggrandizing, substance abusing moronic human beings. Young Jimmy’s erratic conduct leaves one to wonder if he isn’t up to some of his old ways… All I know is that he can’t hide his true character – and thus will justifiably be one of the most hated owners in sports.

He needs a breath sensor to unlock his tweet account like the ones put in cars to keep multiple DUI drivers from being able to start them when drunk.
