What I think, but cannot prove.
1. Jim Irsay loves football.
2. Jim Irsay loves football players.
From the smartest to the dumbest, they all have something in common. They are dumb enough to risk their health in an accelerated form of a kids game. Even Manning called himself a meat head. Jim loves those guys and how they play for each other and an owner who cares.
I also believe that Jim Irsay wants the ticket holders to get their monies worth. He has never hesitated to spend money on the team or the city or the state. Why are the state football finals played at LOS? Jim pays for it, in exchange that every state playoff tickets have the horse shoe on it. Genius advertising, in a rural state where people remember who supported their local HS team.
I believe Jim Irsay expects his players to put forth the same effort he and the entire organizational staff put into the team. Which is why he was pissed about Wentz. He was making the same dumb plays in the last two games as the first five games.
The only comparable owner would be the Roonys. Colts fans are lucky to have him
