Irsay is a great owner

My only conclusion is that Irsay instigated the treatment that the team got and that it was somewhat deserved.

I'm no expert on this topic, but I do know that Irsay wanted a new Stadium, the one in Baltimore sucked pretty bad! Was Irsay totally without blame, of course not, but it is really no different than what we see today, teams go where they get the best deal, and they all want new stadium deals...Baltimore fans basically blamed Irsay for all of it, the city deserved some of that blame as well!
