DUI of The Day

Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts, was arrested for drunk driving last Sunday night. He was also charged with 4  felony counts of possession of controlled substances when prescription pain  relievers were found in his car without having a doctor's prescription.

Irsay has admitted he's had a problem with substances like this in the past after several orthopedic surgeries.

I figure if players can be suspended for life for this type of abuse, the NFL should make a point of owners being suspended for life as well. He had two strikes and multiple counts with just one incident, AND admitted previous abuse.

It's time to take his team away from him.

And to get him some serious help.

If players can forfeit their privilege of playing the game through substance abuse, owners can surely lose their privilege of owning a team.

It's the owners that are quick to set the mark. It's time that they live with it, too. It's what's best for the game.
