Operating while intoxicated and possession.

Wonder if Goodell will wait for the legal process to play out before rendering judgement?

Jim Irsay had "several" bottles of prescription drugs, and faces four felony counts of possession: http://deadsp.in/z0DAivH

If only he was in Texas he might be eligible soon for shock probation.

Another Owner Is In Trouble. Does The NFL Have A Culture Problem?

" Just since the start of last season, we've seen the Vikings owners found liable for "organized-crime type" fraud, the Browns owner facing a possible federal indictment, and today, Colts owner Jim Irsay arrested and charged with DUI and possession." Fr. LINK above

Jimmy !! Happy St. Patricks day !! Get a lawyer ! Own the Police Dept. !!!

Seriously this is just too dumb. This is about "no self - respect" and worse no respect for the public needs of safety. This man needs to be burned for acting so foolishly. Drinking and driving cannot be tolerated in North America. it's ruined too many lives and the penalty's must be severe if the law in terms of this is violated.

Personally this has struck my life as I lost a dear one to the stupidity of a drunken driver. The cost is too much and the driver gets away with a slap on the back of his / her hand.

Indiana Drunk Driving Fines & Penalties

Does the penalty match the risk of or taking a life (lives) !?

I say no way ! The LAW must be tougher here.

Severe jail time and fines and loss of driving privilege and all in concert addresses a proper penalty for being an idiot.

four game suspension, automatic.

[Guiness]

four game suspension, automatic.

suspension from what???

Seriously, this is uncharted territory - how does the NFL go about holding up an owner to it's standards, and how do they punish him? As TFA pointed out, $100K fine doesn't really cut it...

[Brandon494]

The owners pay Goodell, he'll have no punishment from the NFL.

[Guiness]

The owners pay Goodell, he'll have no punishment from the NFL.

I'd also remind everyone they pay him roughly $30M/year.

[mraynrand]

suspension from what???

he won't get to suit up and play. I was being dead serious. I think that will be his punishment - off the game day roster for four games.

[MadtownPacker]

I'm sure he'll Tweet all about it later.
No shit huh! This puke is a big attention whore, looks like he got what he wanted now.

This will likely results in a reality show: Real Owners of the NFL.

[Guiness]

You recently move to Colorado? Or Washington State?

Pretty sure Irsay doesn't suit up for the Colts in this reality:eyes:

[KYPack]

Bud Adams got fined a quarter mil for shooting double bird at Buff fans.

Ed DeBartolo got a mil fine and time in the penalty box for his financial shenanigans w/ Ex=Gov Edwards from Louisiana..

Irsay?

How bout 2-5 mil

1 yr in penalty box

no more twitter and other goofy public carrying on bullshit?

He will get nailed for this one.

Addendum...

Sumbitch sent a tweet at 4:11 today after getting out of the can.

Isn't this a part of his "problem"?

[Tony Oday]

What was his BAC? Sounds like the controlled substance was prescription meds in the wrong bottle so that will go away.

nothing of any significance at all will happen to him or the Colts. Nothing will look any different than the day before. Perhaps some loser talking head on the networks will mention it when they show him up in his box drinking pina coladas and texting to his bimbos during a game.

That's perfect - another TV show that turns a societal pathology into an opportunity for advertising.

I was just commenting on the fact that they were making some very serious potential drug charges go away with a little sleight-of-hand.

i agree with this

he'll get some minor slap on the wrist, and thats about all the nfl can do

what are they gonna do, ban him from going to his own stadium?
not let him cheer on his team?
ban him from twitter?
fine him a million bucks, guys worth 1.4 billion? thats like me losing a dollar
maybe take away draft picks? thats punishing the team and fans, not so much the owner
force him to sell the club? LOL yeah right

rand is right, nothing will happen, and he's already being portrayed as a victim by the national types. "poor billionaire, he has a drug addiction, and he drinks too much. its not his fault"

i bet he wins the NFL man of the year award next year after he does a rehab vacation

[mraynrand]

Apparently, every media member on the planet. All the local guys have been raving about downtown Indianapolis since the Big Ten tournament. And you hear it during the Combine as well.

Apparently, having everything under a roof and within walking distance is the ideal work environment for a member of the media. Whether they actually see anyone from Indiana or it just like a big convention defending like locusts is another matter entirely.

Come on, PB. They probably just have some really good prostitutes under those domed walkways. That's the appeal.

As for Irsay, it is highly hypocritical that the employees of the league (and it's a monopoly, don't think anything different) can be sanctioned for actions that are illegal or are unbecoming for the league, but the owners can do whatever the hell they please with no sanctions from the league.

It's my ball and I get to make up the rules.

Some shit never changes.

No, nothing controversial, and probably what a lot of others are thinking. But, most others are thinking it, Dungy has to get up on his high horse/trot out his 'holier than though' attitude/whatever and make sure the world knows he thinks it's despicable.

Ever see his do-gooder children's books?

Those look pretty good. I think I'll buy a few to pass out to friends' kids. We need more do-gooders and fewer Sharpers. :soap:

"Tony and Lauren Dungy are active members of a number of family, faith, and community-based organizations including All Pro Dad, iMom, Fellowship of Chrstian Athletes, Mentors for Life, Family First, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, and the Boys and Girls Club of America."

You're mischaracterizing what Dungy said. He didn't say what Irsay did was despicable. He said Irsay made a mistake (pretty obvious) and hopes he gets the help he needs.




“I was heartbroken,” Dungy said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. “I’ve known Jim Irsay for 13 years now. He’s a special guy to me — a person who is very self-sacrificing and would do anything for you. He did some unbelievable things for me, for my family, for the city of Indianapolis, and I just want him to do well. He’s struggling with some prescription painkillers and other medications — he made a big mistake. I was sad to see that but I’m hoping that this will be the silver lining in the cloud — he will reach out and get some help and grow from this.”

[Freak Out]

Dungy was doing what he is paid to do most days....offer commentary on NFL related news.

[Freak Out]

So four felony drug related charges....how can he not do time?

[Tony Oday]

Because they are prescription, he will have the script show up for sure.

[MadtownPacker]

C'mon Tony, you know better than that. The prescription excuse is what they will use but his bank account is what will end up getting him a lighter sentence than you would get.

[MadScientist]

C'mon Tony, you know better than that. The prescription excuse is what they will use but his bank account is what will end up getting him a lighter sentence than you would get.
Probably, since if nothing else he can afford some damn good lawyers. Still in a case where nobody was hurt and the drugs were not stolen, some combination of fine / mandatory treatment / probation would likely be given a non-rich person.

[mraynrand]

I want him dead

Oh I know Mad for sure the $1.6 Billion puts him in a different law set then we have but again I want to know the BAC, if it was .08-.1 shit happens not like he was obliterated and the Prescription drugs for ANYONE would be easy to get the charges dropped, unless you are a moron.

[digitaldean]

Irsay, sad to say, was out of control and sounded like it was common knowledge he had issues that he couldn't overcome. With the four felony counts, it'll be awfully hard, short of buying someone off, to keep Irsay from prison. If the public calls for jail time for the players that screw up like this, then the owners should be held to a similar or higher standard.

PB, There is an investigation in process, so we can't comment at this time. I would refer you to the legal justice system for all questions pertaining to Mr. Irsay's alleged criminal conduct. Once an thorough investigation is completed, the investigating entities will make their recommendations to the league office as to possible consequences. The League office will then initiate a process to assess those recommendations and to initiate a process to begin assessing the impact of putative punitive measures, taking into account the extensive history of the parties involved and their contributions and accountability to the greater NFL community.

Because Player X has been arrested for possession of marijuana, the league is suspending that player until the investigation has been completed.

NFL not yet ready to rule on possible discipline against Jim Irsay

" The NFL is not prepared to make a decision about possible disciplinary action against Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, Commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday.

“There have been no charges,” Goodell said at the conclusion of a one-day owners’ meeting. “So the answer to that is until we get more information, some more facts, we will let it play out a little longer.” .... LINK
