Damn, one of the craziest owners in the NFL. Hope the daughter can steady the ship and keep everything moving forward.

Spent most of his life trying to get out from under Bobs shadow.

I’d argue he did a good job of that as an owner, but he just couldn’t beat the addiction.

Rest in peace, Jim. You really were one of a kind.

It’ll be interesting to see how his daughters run things now that he’s gone.

Jim had his problems, but he loved the team and always wanted to win. One of the best owners in the league. I hope his daughters are the same. I'm surprised, but not shocked. He looked rough the last couple of years.

RIP, Jim Irsay. Peace and love to his family and friends.

Still hard to believe he was just 65 years old.
