Is this where we shit on people for having money?   Why can’t Mcarthy have a heart attack due to being obese.  

Yes, this is where we shit on people for being born into wealth and proceeding to waste their life being a drug addled dipshit that should be in prison if held to the same standard as the rest of society.

You haven't been to a major American city in a decade?

I’m sorry their choices affect your life so much.

Odd comment on a website that constantly shits on people for the choices they make but OK.

Exactly. I’ve seen you shit on said people complaining about others choices. ;)    I guess we can only selectively shit on certain segments

Why didn't he just pull himself up the bootstraps and just quit touching drugs like a proper American?  Seriously, what the fuck does it say about us that even a multi-billionaire born into privilege can't find decent help with mental issues?

I don’t know, it’s got to be hard as a multi-billionaire to fuck up so bad you won’t land on your feet if you survive. Normal people eventually lose their normal people jobs, lose their license and don’t have a driver, call in too many favors too many times and burn their bridges, etc. Rock bottom has to be elusive for the addict with effectively unlimited resources.

If you can't be born into billions and putz around and do hard drugs and need to be revived every now and again, well into your middle and elderly age, I'd argue you don't want it bad enough and are leaving a lot of meat on the bone of the privileged life you were given.

Levity aside, I have known some children of serious privilege who grew up, did some modicum of decent work, and partied way too fucking hard and fucked up bad.  But this guy took it another level.  But he's older and white, as such...we send our thoughts and prayers.

Most likely he is addicted to oxy or Vicodin/hydro. It wouldn't be cocaine which doesn't have a reversal agent.

Irsay’s struggles with pharmaceutical opioids has been well documented thru the courts. His last sobriety probably crashed in the latter weeks of the Carson Wentz experiment. Then he hired drinking bud Jeff Saturday as his interim coach.

Just another victim of the Sacklers. That being said hopefully the kids can get him parked into a fancy rehab in Laguna Niguel and take over.

I know a guy that knows Isray pretty well through the music foundation and "Jim Isray Band" stuff. His take is that like most addicts, his story is complex. He gets a ton of negative run in the press (rightfully so), but he also does a lot of really good things for people that never see the light of day. He told me a story about him paying several hundred thousand dollars out of pocket for cancer treatment for some long time roadie type and doing other things like that for behind the scenes guys that had made a career in music, but never made much money.

Well, so does my blue collar South Austin hippie son, but he wouldn’t be caught dead in a pimp costume.

Keith addresses this in his book.  His theory, which granted, given how old he is in the face of the life he has lived, makes sense. 

Paraphrasing; he said you can only get so high.  Once you get there, you are done for the day.  You can't get "higher" and when you try, bad things happen.

Maybe it's the edible finally kicking in, but I initially read that as your son was South Austin. Which would be hilarious if you think about it.

Especially with the prevalence of fentanyl.  I don’t know how you fuck around with most drugs these days with fentanyl everywhere.  Gone are the days when the only shit in your coke was baby laxative or baking soda.  Ah the good ol days.

Nah, my son is not a lawyer - he makes an honest living.

Worth $4,300,000,000 and he fucks around with drugs. Asshole.

I mean you are aware that it is probably an inherited predisposition?  It's not just a bad choice.

Where he is a bit of an asshole is not getting/accepting help with those kind of resources.

Easy to say from the cheap seats on a football forum where none of us have even close to that kind of wealth and the crowd you run with.

The only correlation between income level and propensity to do drugs, is regards to how harsh the glare of the justice system will fall on you. People commenting that his wealth should somehow shield him, (or would shield them if in his shoes) are puzzling.

Nah, it’s easy to say.  I’ve had more than enough chances. I know more than enough really, really wealthy people.  I’m not the sort that would do that. I’m just not.

Easy to say for you. Thank your deity you escaped the destructive genetics and/or upbringing. Might interest you to know people are different, some even strange.

Congratulations?

He always struck me as a gigantic tool, but the city/fanbase seems to be bummed about it. Probably had a pretty eventful 65 years getting handed an NFL franchise at a young age.

Well, and sometimes you can pay for "sobriety coaches" and such that enforce abstinence, for a while, that you can't obtain yourself.

Really, all you can say with any confidence is, I'd never take that first drink or drug.  So, you can get all self-righteous about "I'd never try heroin/coke/meth/Xanax" or what have you.  But, if you're predisposed to be an addict, that drink'll probably get you too.

Good enough that I'll go ahead and cut-paste the content.  Many dislike both Irsay and McAfee, but this was a nice tribute.

Quote

Pat McAfee reacts to death of Jim Irsay

McAfee, the former Colts punter, shared a lengthy message on social media:

"This is devastating.. Jim had friendships with a lot of his former players.. I was lucky to be one of them.

"Playing for a team that Mr Irsay ran was an honor. He was funny, brilliant, unique, and somehow still wildly relatable for a man who became the sole owner of an NFL team at the age of 37.. and before that, hired as the youngest general manager in the history of the league as a 24 year old.

"He battled his demons, as we all do but, God blessed Jim Irsay with an abundance of compassion.. he wanted to give back/help everybody and everything he saw or knew about… putting a list together of all of the causes/things/people that he’s given to would be an impossible task.. probably well over $100,000,000.. there was even a whale about to get an assist from Jim at one point.

"The 1st time he and I really had an extended convo was at training camp after the lockout in 2011.. players and front office weren’t allowed to communicate with each other during the lockout but, Jim followed me on Twitter throughout the CBA negotiations.. his first day at training camp, immediately after the lockout ended, he drove his golf cart over to where I was and started firing off questions about Twitter.. He enjoyed the thought of being able to connect with Colts fans all over the world.. he appreciated the opportunity to be able to share some of his thoughts in his own way.. and he absolutely LOVED the idea of being able to give money/experiences/tickets/etc. away to people on Twitter.

 

"He was a mogul who had a creative artist’s brain.. Everything he did he wanted to do in a big and imaginative way.. his Twitter Giveaways became just that.. he wanted them to be awesome... and they were. He was a Billionaire who yearned to share his wealth in fun ways.

"Anybody that met him would say that he seemingly woke up everyday wanting to help people.. life got in the way sometimes but, anybody who actually knew him, loved him.

"A true anomaly.

"When I decided to retire.. he and I had a 2.5 hour conversation in his office. He was sitting at his desk.. hitting the (crap) out of his vape .. and we talked about everything I was hoping to go do.

"He tried to stop me for a few minutes.. even offered to renegotiate my contract.. and then once he realized my decision was made.. the convo turned into him trying to give me as much game as possible about running a business and maintaining authenticity. He gave me quotes and words to live by.. told me stories of mistakes he and others had made and he promised he would do anything he could to help me in my venture.

 

"'If for some reason this doesn’t work or you don’t want to do it anymore, you’ll always have a job here at the Colts. You are family.'

"Since that day.. Jim has done everything he can to help me succeed.. He’d join our show anytime I asked, no matter where he was in the world.. He’d send me motivational messages when he heard I was going thru something.. he’d forward articles that he’d come across that he thought I should read.. He’d answer any question I had about decisions I had to make.. and he even offered up his connections if I wanted to 'buy that lovely wife of yours something nice brother'

"Jim was a real one.. and we will all miss the (crap) out of him.

"I send my positive prayers and vibes to his daughters, his grandkids, his loved ones, his staff, and everybody who has been working with Jim for the last 40 years.

"Thank you for EVERYTHING big man.. You were a damn legend. Rest Easy, brother."
