Jim is a good guy at heart and a great owner. But billionaires are out of touch with the reality of life when you’re not a billionaire. He lives in a privileged bubble, and doesn’t understand how out of touch he actually is. If he complained about not knowing who his true friends were and really valuing loyalty (maybe too much), that would be understandable. But claiming that anybody else wouldn’t have been arrested, spent a week in jail, and faced far more trouble than he did is just cringe-worthy.
He needs a PR person to advise him because this interview has made our franchise a laughing stock. It’s just embarrassing.
It shows just how good the front office has been that it’s only when Jim is in his personal space that most of this crap takes place.
The Saturday hire was an Irsay joint. That much is obvious. Had Ballard not arranged one of the most thorough coaching searches in the history of the NFL, Irsay would probably have extended Saturday, and this season would have been more OJT.
