Ask the folks in Baltimore what they thought of his daddy.

Is Irsay the same owner who sneaked the Colts out of Baltimore in the dead of night?? If it is it says a lot about his character........follow the money.
One hopes Rush will fulfill his dream of owning an NFL team. I t will be interesting to watch some of these ignorant outspoken players flock to play for him....follow the money.

[Cinnamontea]

If I remember right, Rush has a lot of friends in pro sports. Where are they? What are they waiting for?

[Frantzie]

Screw the Colts. If I were Peyton I would tell the jerk to trade me. Peyton could make more at another team.

[RexBeach]

Irsay snuck the Colts out of Baltimore in the dark of night...literally.

He’s a creep.

[Frantzie]

Time for some anti-trust monopoly investigations of the NFL and also their reverse racism policy.

[Matchett-PI]

"I think the Colts owner was not so dismissive. He did leave the door open, saying he’d talk to friends of his who LIKE Rush, too. I wonder why that part of the quote didn’t make the ASS PRESS news story."

Just another example showing the emotional instability of the new castrati. They must have the approval of their emotionally immature peers in order to feel "accepted" in the social circles in which they have a need to belong.

Sad, really.

[Chi-townChief]

Irsay is scum, like Modell.

[b4its2late]

Political Correctness is destroying our country.

[notaliberal]

So being a conservative somehow makes you ineligible to own an NFL team? The world has gone completely crazy.

Sorta like the Taiban treat women or Christians.

[Non-Sequitur]

I hope Rush does sue those who have painted him as a racist.

For what? As a public figure Limbaugh isn't protected by the same lible laws as private individuals are. He would be better advised to work behind the scenes...and let his majority partner and his billions of dollars do most of the talking. All Limbaugh and his co-bidders have to do is convice 24 people, a lot of whom they both probably know to begin with. If they're serious about buying and the current owners are serious about selling then I really think that the deal will be struck eventually.

[RabidBartender]

It would be hilarious for Tony Dungy to come out now in support of Rush.

[Texas resident]

Rush ought to go ahead and buy the team. Then pump millions into recruiting the best players. Then kick all the other team’s collective asses. Win the Super Bowl, then sell the team.

[Borges]

The owners vote on who they let in the league. If they vote NAY the sale is nixed.

[onemiddleamerican]

I take it that this Jim Irsay fellow is the son of Robert Irsay, owner of the Baltimore Colts who was such a coward that he snuck his team out of Baltimore in the dark of night and moved them to their present locale.

Baltimorons in my family remember Irsay senior in less than glowing terms.

[Melchior]

Irsay is the Teddy Kennedy of the NFL.

[stevio]

Wow. This is really eye-opening. So Rush isn’t allowed to own a team? Just one more reason to not watch thugball.

[Sunshine Sister]

So who is Jim Irsey (sp?)

[bolobaby]

YOU VILL TINK ONLY DA HAPPY THOUGHTS I TELL YOU TO TINK!
