Oct 16, 2014 12:50 PM

Jim Irsay was arrested late Sunday night on preliminary charges of driving while intoxicated and possession of a controlled substance.

Irsay tweeted on Oct. 21, 2013, that he hadn't had a drink in more than 15 years. He admitted in a statement in 2002 that he had an addiction to pain killers.

“There are people around the Colts organization who have been suspicious about some of his behavior,” Adam Schefter said Monday morning onSportsCenter.

Irsay has previously acknowledged his struggles with addiction.

Irsay will be subject to discipline from Roger Goodell.

“He’s a sick, sick man,” one source told Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star. “He desperately needs help.” 

Irsay had lost 70 pounds down to 165.

Ravens Considered Hiring Jim Caldwell In 2008

Oct 31, 2014 2:58 PM

The Baltimore Ravens considered hiring Jim Caldwell as head coach in 2008 before deciding upon John Harbaugh.

Caldwell was promoted to head coach of the Indianapolis Colts in 2009 and is now head coach of the Detroit Lions.

"The year that we hired John Harbaugh, Jim was a candidate for our head coach position so I got a chance to spend some time with him during that time," Newsome said last week at the combine in Indianapolis. "But having him in our building for two years and the way he carried himself and the type of man he is, I think the city of Detroit and their fans are going to be very pleased."
