colts paying for these coaches services is very touching. I came from an area that honestly I should be dead or in jail from. Coaches have a huge impact and to take care of this guy means a lot.

Such a sad story.    People can say what they want about Mr. Irsay.    The man is always looking to help out his fellow man.

So tragic. I'm glad we have this team for things like this. It brings the community together. It's about a lot more than football what the Colts mean to Indiana.

I grew up in Haughville, I could've easily been dead when I was teenager. Hearing gunshots every night and houses being broken into. My mom got a job at Rolls Royce and everything changed, we moved out to Plainfield right by Avon, Indiana. She got me out of that garbage hole I was in luckily .

My heartfelt best wishes to this team and coaching staff on their shocking loss!!

 

The Colts as "the best" when it comes to reaching out - to the central Indiana community - in good times and bad.

 

God bless them all!!

Jim Irsay takes care of a lot of people that you never hear about. Ex players and ex assistants are just a few of them. 

He also passes out huge amounts of $100 dollar bills to total strangers. 

Irsay is not only a caring man, he is a generous man as well.

West Englewood, Illinois. Then moved to a south shore before moving down here at 13 after a friend was killed at age 12…

I grew up in Woodruff Place. The most beautiful place in Indianapolis.

i hadn't heard about this man's death.  That's a terrible loss for his family and the community. 

Senseless

Just another sad reason why I don’t go near Indy unless I absolutely have too.

That happened a mile away from me.  I live in Greenwood.  Scary that it happened so close to home.

I don't live very far from there either. I live in the Southport area.

I pretty much don't go anywhere anymore except to work and back (gets gas or grocery store) and out to my mom's and step-dad's for holidays. People are flat out crazy out there anymore. When I go to work, I have people blowing by me going at least 80 MPH on the interstate, if you don't at least go 70 you will get tailed or almost ran over. Damn speed limit is only 55. I got rear ended by a drunk driver 2 years ago on the interstate and it sent me clear to the other side facing the wrong way. Car was totaled, physically I walked away like a boss but it has messed with me mentally. I am always on the defense now and looking behind me. I was just going to work, this person was out partying instead of doing it at home. State Police got her butt though, I read the report, she was charged with endangering a person and intoxicated, testing over .08. 

 

I have every thing I need at my house, the nut jobs can have it.

Irsay has a big heart no question. Just needs to not turn into a meddling owner.

I didn't know it was road rage.

That's worse

Yeah. There’s been a ton recently. Not surprising. There typically is a correlation between heavy road construction and traffic and road rage shootings. The Splits being closed and everyone funneled to an already tight 465 definitely isn’t helping
