So you think Kraft's off field issues are all good? At least Irsay hasn't been seen with a woman that is young enough to be his daughter real soon after his wifes death. They looked pretty cozy IMO.

Yeah, that's much worse than dumping a woman but giving her a house through the Colts' organization who then ODs in that house, after he had abandoned her for another man's wife whom he stole. And didn't go to that woman's funeral.

I doubt we know all of the details of Irsay's relationships. You're basing your opinions on ESPN reporting. Kind of ironic, don't you think?

Jim like everyone has skeletons, all of which I'm sure he isn't proud of.I do however love Jim as an owner, he is passionate, motivated, dedicated to winning, and interacts all the time with the fanbase. I don't think you could ask anything more from an the leader of a franchise.

Your a okay in my book TOC. Jimmy would take you for a stroll around his collection no problem because that's the kind of guy he is. That's an idea: Send him a list of priceless merchandise you want & then you can look at these items once a year around New Years.

It's a great arrangement. Jimmy pays the bill & you get to pretend it's all your stuff for a couple of hours. Not a bad deal eh? :P

I would actually pay for his dinner at Kona Jacks for a museum tour. I saw some of his old Baltimore Colts collection on this web site, but I wonder if that's just a small slice. It's nice when you have the extra dough to collect that stuff. On top of the collection angle, it's probably a good investment. Rarely does items that rare go down in price. I wonder if he has a basement like in Citizen Kane, where all these items are stored ?

I could ask him to not be drugged out when making decisions. That's a lot to ask though

Except that the facts speak for themselves.

By the way, Crazy, Kraft started dating his girlfriend one full year after his wife died.

How absolutely horrifying .

I'm quite sure Robert Kraft is the polished diamond without incursion. Must be phenomenal @ 100 % & odor free as a human being.

Except you don't have all of the facts. That's my point. But, hey, I know we shouldn't let things like that get in the way of advancing an agenda. Do you work in politics?

There both bad, what's your point? Other than to use your pretzel logic to convince yourself that Kraft is good and Irsay is bad.

Most days I love him, and other days I think he is bat-crap crazy. It has been a roller coaster ride for close to 30 years. 

 

I do know that he absolutely loves this team. It is more than just a business to him. 

 

We could do a lot worse.

We are all aware of Jim's addictions. You go out of your way to do nothing but bash Jim. I guess you have never known anyone who had a problem of those kinds. I agree it's not the best thing for anyone to go thru or deal with. I must be nice to sit behind your keyboard and judge Jim. I have news for you, Kraft has not made his money by being such a nice guy. He has his faults just like we all do. Kraft's girlfriends? You mean the ones who his money draws them in? They don't give a crap about him, it's his billfold their most interested in but that's OK by you being he is such a nice guy. His buddy-buddy nonsense with Goodell tells a story in itself. You have in the past bashed Goodell but overlooked the fact that Kraft is hooked arm and arm with Goodell. So much so Kraft thought his friendship with Goodell would sway any football related things to go his way. And when it didn't Kraft acted like a spoiled little boy with a big mouth. You as Patriot fans eat this act up. So it's cool for you to make comments in a Colts forum bashing the Colts owner? You have as little class as Kraft does.

Roller coater ride? Colts have been one of the most consistent teams with Jim Irsay at the helm.

Way to not get what I was saying at all. Good job. That was tough to twist but you managed it.

When Jim was the GM he had a flair for the dramatics. People forget the first 10 years were not good years.

But yes, even through the success Jim has been on a roller coaster ride.

Way to be a *.

He was only GM because his dad wanted him in that role. After his dad died he hired someone else for the job and the colts have been fairly consistent since.

Boy, I really twisted the story up......

Might want to double check your history, or at least ask someone who was a fan during that time (me).

Bill Tobin was the Colts GM before Robert Irsay passed away.

Jim knew he was better off not to be the GM. It was one of the smartest moves he ever made to step aside.

Ok, either way he stepped aside. Once Jim took control after his father's stroke the colts have been fairly consistent. I fail to see a roller coaster.

I truly believe he loves the "Horseshoe", the Colts, however he may refer to them. Its not all about the money. He wants to bring the fan base a championship and make it enjoyable with his charitable trivia give aways ( I won $100 cash a couple years ago, and true to his word I received the money in mail soon afterwards). He may not be "perfect", nobody is.. I believe his intentions are good and his heart is into it. Just MO

Recheck your history. If your going to make comments at least get them somewhat close to being correct.

Way to change the subject.

Kraft has had one girlfriend since his wife died .

Irsay stole a man's wife.

Holy crap people, you are arguing about billionaire's skeletons in the closet and who has done the most secret shady stuff?

You will be here all night then if you want to do that and a lot of what you are all doing is gossiping.

I wish I was a billionaire and people were arguing about me :(
