Jim Irsay, the CEO and owner of the Indianapolis Colts, is sick again from a catastrophic disease that required a lung transplant due to his excessive smoking.
The Indianapolis Colts‘ CEO and owner, Jim Irsay, needed a lung transplant because of his extensive smoking, and he is now ill once more.
According to team officials on Tuesday, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is undergoing treatment for a serious respiratory ailment and will not be able to perform with his band later this week.
The group released a statement saying, “He is getting excellent care and looks forward to getting back on stage as soon as possible.” “At this point, we don’t have any more information, and we kindly ask that you respect Jim and his family’s privacy as they heal.”
After Robert, the team’s father, had a stroke in 1995, 64-year-old Irsay took over as team manager. He prevailed in a court battle with his stepmother to retain the franchise after his father passed away in 1997.
Irsay began his career as a ballboy when Hall of Fame quarterback John Unitas was still playing, and he has been a mainstay around club headquarters since his father acquired the Los Angeles Rams and traded franchises with the late Carroll Rosenbloom to obtain the Colts having fun in Baltimore.
When the Colts relocated from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984, Irsay, then 25 years old, was named the league’s youngest general manager.
During Irsay’s tenure, the Colts have won two AFC crowns and one Super Bowl.
