Colts Owner pays for staff to attend the Super Bowl (with a +1!)

Thursday, February 4th, 2010


When Jim Irsay finally settles into his seat on Sunday night to watch the game, it’ll probably feel like a reprieve from the vicious circle of 19-0 What If? questioning. (At best, some shift in the conversation to Peyton’s impending paycheck.)

I think he’s come to grips with the fact that he’ll never get the media to back off and say: OK, you’ve made it abundantly clear, winning the Super Bowl is what’s most important to you guys. There is no move.

This, for what it’s worth (about $500K, I estimate) is a classy move…

Miami – It’s one of the most important times for the Indianapolis Colts. But starting Thursday, the organization, run by team owner Jim Irsay, will not be getting a lot of work done and that is okay with the boss!

That’s because the entire staff of 250, plus their guest, is headed to Florida to take in the Super Bowl.

From the receptionist at the front desk, to the cleaning crew, Jim Irsay is paying the way for 500 people to be a part of the team’s spectacular journey.

Check out this video of the sweet, old receptionist lady getting ready to embark for Miami (she also flashes some serious bling!)
