Seeing Jim Irsay’s video on the “desert tarmac”, I just want to say this:

I know Irsay has had his issues relating to his extracurricular activities. But when I see a billionaire make that speech, he just comes off as drunk or unintelligent. Obviously he’s a smart guy. I understand many “eccentric” people make it far in life. You’ve got to do things right in life to afford that bad [BLEEP] jet and an NFL football team. But good gosh does this guy come off as under the influence. I don’t expect a man in his position to stumble over his words. Seems impromptu. Seems like he had whatever and got “re- pissed” off and made a video.

I don't think he's particularly intelligent. He inherited the team in 1997 and two once-in-a-generation QB's have since fallen to him. His personal life, as you noted, is a train wreck. He's a drunk and a drug addict. His team succeeded more in spite of him than because of him, and he just rode the coattails of success. Tho to his credit, he did have the good sense to stay out of the football side of things and just act like a buffoon off to the side, rather than run the team totally into the ground.
