I’m confused by the Jim Irsay penalty.

As I understand it, he can’t attend the first six games, and he was fined $500k.

I’m not seeing that as being in line with player punishments for PEDs and so on. A player who is suspended for 4 games loses salary, too, and that’s often a heck of a lot more than $500k, and a player’s net worth is much less than an owner’s. And 6 games he can’t watch in person? But can watch on TV? This seems like a token punishment to me. I think the fine should have been a few million, at least.

I concur.

Hmm, I wonder, and hear me out … I wonder, possibly, if there’s some kind of double-standard in play here. You know, because he’s an owner. Just throwing it out there. I’m probably WAAAAAY off.

Well,
I for one, am
not going to look to owners
anymore as role models.
I may even take my Jerry Jones
poster off my wall.
