       What kind of sanctions do you think Roger Goodell will hand down to Colts owner Jim Irsay for his DUI arrest ?

       Agree or disagree with Bob Kravitz ??  Does Jim Irsay owe anyone an apology for his latest issue with pain medications ??

   1.  Personally - I think the Commissioner will hand down a directive of continued rehabilitation with the NFL being notified of Irsay's progress.  I also think there is the possibility that Irsay "may" have a short suspension.

 

 

   2.  DISAGREE WITH KRAVITZ !!  The only folks Irsay really owes apologies to - are his family & himself.  I continue to be surprized that with the knowledge that there is a genetic predisposition to addiction within families - WHY would anyone take the chance.  I speak from experience.  My paternal grandmother died from alcoholism.  Knowing that - I never took the first drink.  Regrettably - two of my siblings are alcoholics.  

 

     I continue to marvel at Bob Kravitz's way to "talk around" an issue.  He assures the readers that he understands addiction issues - and - then proves that he does not.  Shame on Bob Kravitz for this follow-up to his first article.

 

    My thoughts & prayers go out to Jim Irsay & his family - as they try to find the appropriate path to managing his chronic pain & living a life of sobriety.  God bless.
