**Jim Irsay, Music-Enthusiast Owner of the Indianapolis Colts, Passes Away at 65: The Man, the Myth, the Playlist**
In a shocking turn of events that has left the NFL world reeling, Jim Irsay, the music-loving owner of the Indianapolis Colts, has passed away at the tender age of 65. Known for his eclectic taste in music and his even more eclectic taste in quarterbacks, Irsay reportedly left this world while jamming out to a live rendition of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” performed by a local cover band called “Guns N’ Roses But Not Really.”
Sources close to Irsay revealed that his last words were, “If I can’t have a Super Bowl, at least let me have a killer playlist!” His family has confirmed that his Spotify account will be inherited by his pet parrot, who is expected to continue the family tradition of questionable musical choices.
“Jim was a true rock star,” said Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, who was last seen trying to convince Irsay to invest in a new line of Colts-themed air guitars. “He always said that if the Colts couldn’t win, at least we could all dance to ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ while we lose.”
In a fitting tribute, the Colts have announced that their next home game will feature a halftime show featuring a hologram of Irsay performing a duet with Elvis Presley, who, according to Irsay, was “the original Colts fan.”
As the NFL mourns the loss of a man who once claimed he could “throw a football like a rock star,” fans are left wondering who will take over his legendary collection of vintage guitars and questionable memorabilia. Rumor has it that the next owner will be none other than former Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, who has already begun practicing his karaoke skills in preparation for the inevitable “Manning vs. Irsay: The Musical” showdown.
In the words of Irsay himself, “Life is a song, and I’m just here to make sure it’s played at full volume.” Rest in peace, Jim. May your playlists be forever on shuffle.
