Actually Pop Irsays business was in Chicago.

I’ll give AJ Foyt’s grandson some props, he was smart enough to marry Jimmy’s daughter. Someday he’s gonna be a rich man.

Two days before Thanksgiving, in the bar of Chicago’s prestigious Tavern Club, 63-year-old Robert Irsay is fighting yet another battle with the truth. ‘’I’ve been a winner all my life,’’ he says firmly, fueled by half a dozen screwdrivers during the 2 1/2-hour lunchless luncheon. His white hair is neatly groomed, his face a little flushed, his eyes lightly glazed. ‘’When a man takes one dollar and turns it into $50 million, he’s a winner. I’d like to turn the Colts into a Super Bowl winner in my lifetime. That’s what I have left. To win a ring.’’

You are right about old man Irsay. Chicago was where he made his money. Moving the Colts to Indianapolis makes much more sense now
