    Agreed. Week 6 I get it... This the championship game. Extend that lead.


    they gave the momentum back. They literally gift wrapped it. You have to extend that lead. It’s a play away from a tied football game with 20 minutes left to play.

    This. 
     

    It’s not even about professionalism. If I’m playing music on shift, I can’t hear and understand the radio. I. Love. Music. But I never play music on shift.


    maybe the officers that filed the report didn’t hear the dispatch tell them it wasn’t an overdose…

    In 20 years, I'm not sure anyone will look back on the current AFC and think it was loaded, especially compared to the 2000s or 1970s AFC.  2023 was a pretty lackluster year in the AFC, really.


    They will if the chiefs keep winning superbowls. They are grinding out postseason wins like it is easy… 

     

    it would be easy to look back at the afc and say, man those teams could have been in the superbowl but they had to go through the chiefs

    I’d like to see someone besides the Chiefs, but I’d MUCH rather have the Chiefs than the Patriots. 
     

    Watching the Patriots suck now makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 


     

    give it another decade and I bet you change your tone.

    That’s nice and respect your family for their service.  It doesn’t change the fact there is no credible source to support the idea these officers didn’t do their job once they arrived.  


    im not sure anyone has stated they didn’t do their jobs… 

     

    the department could have released a report that stated while the offers initially suspected overdose, there was no evidence of that being the case. 
     

    they did not. And they did not provide enough in the report to alter my opinion that there was evidence of a drug overdose, aside from it being known by the department who the individual was…

    My dad was an IPD officer.  I have a brother that was an IPD officer.  I have several classmates that are officers.  Having music playing on your way to a call isn't a thing.   If they are communicating with dispatch on the radio, music playing would be an issue.   It seems unprofessional at best


    it’s very unprofessional. It wasn’t just playing music it was blasting it and the dashboard was all over the internet. 
     

    the fact that the other officers weren’t playing anything speaks volumes.

    Maybe,  just maybe all the facts aren't known.   Maybe they did the right thing maybe they didn't.   Was blasting a Taylor Swift song the right thing to do on the way to an non responsive person?


    before anyone responds to that, it should be known that the other officers that showed up did not have music on at all according to their dash cam. 
     

    the whole thing is a clown show in my opinion. Little chance Irsay doesn’t make comments if/when he recovers.

    Welp. Calling it now - if the Ravens don’t hold the Chief to 3 at most now it’s game. 
     

    Yes it’s early, but there’s blood in the water now and the Chiefs are absolute killers in the playoffs. 


    they are rolling that’s for sure. Momentum is a funny thing though. Can flip on a dime. 

  9. I would like to see a ravens-lions Super Bowl. Not anything against the 49ers, I think they are a very good team and I would put all of my betting money on them winning today. I just would like to see it for Detroit fans. 
     

    The ravens-chiefs game is an interesting game to me. I agree with @chad72 that it could be a double digit win, but if I were betting on games today, I would avoid it. Just because I cannot bring myself to think Lamar is going to beat Pat Mahomes. Should be a good game. 
     

    I would love to see classic down to the wire games today. I really don’t care who wins, I just don’t want to watch bad football, and I don’t expect to today.

    Regardless rather it was an overdose or he has serious health issue it’s not good and I hope for a full recovery regardless of the cause.  I think that’s more important right now that being able to say for a fact I know what caused this.  That will in all likely hood come out in time


    I wish nothing more than a full recovery. His health concerns me, and I don’t know more than what little is out there and what the clear deterioration in his appearance. 
     

    And I’m not sure we’ll get the true story. One could suspect that he would target the police with at least public comments if it wasn’t a drug overdose. But we may never hear much about it.

    They did what they would have done in a lot of cases. You guys need to stop faulting the police for taking actions to try and save someone’s life. 


    With all due respect, a lot of cases don’t end up as headlines on every media source in America. 
     

    “Mr. Irsay it’s the Carmel police, we’re here to save your life.” If he were conscious he probably would asked them to just not. He stated his disgust with the department on hbo. 
     

    My biggest question is why were they ones to “save his life,” which I dispute they even did anything to help… we can’t say narcan saved his life, he barely even responded to it. Why would the Carmel Police need to step in to provide “life saving measures” when a nurse was in the house? I might be wrong here, but I’m taking the nurse every time until the emt’s arrive.

     I think it was wrong to jump to the conclusion that because he had a prior history it’s perfectly okay to jump to the conclusion that that was the cause.  It was also reported that a nurse was in the home and he had been receiving oxygen before he was found.  That suggests he was being treated for another condition.  Unfortunately reporters love to jump on the worst possible reason to garner more clicks on their story.  Sadly it’s the world we live in.  Assumptions without facts.


    Thank you…
     

    The reporters did nothing but write a brief story stating what was in the police report. Notice the stories coming out recently that stated the 911 call from Ward. That was conveniently not released by the police for the first wave of reports.
     

    The fact that there was a nurse there, he was on oxygen, and his longtime right hand man called it in as heat failure tells me what I need to know. The comments by the officer on the scene and the report speak volumes to me. 
     

    and then the dashboard video of the officers responding blasting Taylor swift. Clown show…

    Pete ward was in his car when the call was made to 911 on his way over there. He is not a medical professional.  You had a guy with a history of addiction.  Conjestive heart failure can happen because of a overdose too.


    Pete Ward is the only one in that situation that would know Irsay’s medical situation… 

     

    keep defending the police Chloe. They created a media storm. You said it yourself “guy with a history of addiction.” so let’s put suspected drug overdose on the report and send it to the media, without any evidence that it was a drug overdose.
     

    you have a police department that just two months ago Irsay said targeted him unfairly in his prior arrest. It can go both ways. 


    congestive heart failure can happen in a completely sober individual after years of drug addiction too…

    EMS give Narcan if they see certain signs (usually pinpoint pupils, agonal breathing and being unconscious is enough to try Narcan). Just because Narcan was given doesnt mean it’s automatically an overdose. There's Narcan given in non-overdoses all the time.


    I wont dispute the use of narcan. My biggest complaint is the report stating it was suspected overdose. Why? Why was it suspected overdose when the caller stated congestive heart failure? Why was it suspected drug overdose if there were no drugs on site, and the signs matched that of a respiratory illness and/or congestive heart failure. Because the police administered narcan and he responded slightly to it? Because the police know he is Jim Irsay and has a known history of drug addiction? Perhaps because the police have a vendetta from Irsay’s hbo interview? 
     

    My argument is that if it is not a drug overdose and the police reported they suspected it was, for no solid reason, and that report led to a barrage of media headlines stating as such, that should be grounds for serious litigation. I would be royally upset if my name was on every news site saying i had a drug overdose, if it in fact was a medical issue like congestive heart failure, non-drug related.

    If it’s set up as a trust, which I’m guessing is highly likely, and if from the reports, that his daughters are listed in the trust already, there won’t be any tax issues or concerns. 


    yeah I’ve been reading about the grat trusts that owners use. 
     

    There is a timeframe where they work. If you don’t outlive the term, then the tax comes into play. If you do, then the valuation reverts back to when the trust was established, which could have been all the way back to 2012 (or even long before) which would be significant difference. There is also provisions that allow for an annuity to be paid to the owner from the assets of the trust which discount the tax implication. 
     

    also- there is a safety net of having 15 years to spread the tax liability out if the trust assets are 35% of the estate. 
     

    So definitely a lot of planning needed in a succession plan, but the nfl requires it now for owners, which is smart business. I know a lot of multi-million dollar businesses in this country have zero succession plan, and that is insane…

    This is why I mention the owner too.  The owner does matter but is often overlooked.  Not all of them are willing to restructure deals to extend windows so some teams have an advantage there.


    I don’t disagree. I think Irsay probably has to be more cautious with cash spent than other owners. Ballard’s method has undoubtedly saved Irsay a lot of money. So there’s the obvious metrics that we use to judge Ballard, but Irsay might be looking at a complete picture that none of us even comprehend from an ownership standpoint. 


    I know it’s been discussed over the years on this forum.
