Indianapolis Colts announced on Wednesday evening that its owner, Jim Irsay, died at the age of 65. Irsay was the son of businessman Robert Irsay, who acquired the Baltimore Colts and then moved the franchise to Indianapolis.
Irsay worked with the franchise throughout his life, acting as Vice President and CEO before becoming his official owner after his father's passage. In recent years, his health has deteriorated and has been moving with a wheelchair for many colt games.
The franchise announced that IRSAY died peacefully during Wednesday afternoon sleep. As an owner, he helped the franchise to win their second Super Bowl, when they won against the Chicago Bears to lead Indianapolis at their first Super Bowl victory.
The League hosts Spring League meetings, but it is not clear if it was present in Minnesota at the time of his death.
Henrique Bulio is a NFL and university football journalist at Sportskeeda and a leader in Pro Football Brazil. He has a total of 13 years of experience working in American football and playing amateur quarterback in Brazil has given him a unique perspective on the game.
Henrique follows Philadelphia Eagles closely due to Michael Vick's historic performance to MNF against Washington commanders in 2010. His favorite player of all time is Ed Reed; He thinks Reed is the greatest security ever played. Bill Belichick gets the gesture as Henrique's favorite coach to train patriots to glorify for two decades.
If Henrique could go back in time and watch a game, he would be the Super Bowl XLIX, where the patriots and the Seahawks played a complete and receded game that concluded with one of the largest discussion points in NFL history.
The deep techniques are Henrique's specialty and assures that he never uses misleading words in his articles, as he himself consumes a lot of information on the network. He has been privileged to interview Cairo Santos, Lamar Jackson, Jim Harbaugh, Sean McDermott, Bruce Arians, Matt Lafleur, among others.
Apart from football, Henrique likes to play poker and contract.
