Listening to Sirius NFL radio all morning while Ubering. Tributes pouring in. Interesting guy, definitely had his demons but he had a helluva ride. 

Learned the business from the ground up, starting as a ball boy. At 24 he was named GM, youngest in NFL history. Inherited the team at 37 him his father passed.

Regardless, 65 is way too young. Died in his sleep yesterday afternoon.

It is amazing how you hear every single person who has talked about him use the words "generous" and "kind" in describing him. He must have been a really great individual.

I'd certainly love to take the Jerry Garcia Tiger guitar off their hands

I'll bet they do a great job. Carlie Irsay-Gordon (pictured far right) is the main player, she's been doing a high level CEO type role for a few years and very competent. The other two are lesser players, one in marketing and I forget what the other one does.

I think Bill Polian mentioned Irsay-Gordon is on the field game days with a headset. Sharp woman.
