The NFL C-suite just got a lot less interesting. Jim Irsay, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts, died Wednesday. A statement from the team said he “passed away peacefully in his sleep,” but that doesn’t feel quite right.

The Indianapolis Colts made a heartbreaking announcement on Wednesday. Jim Irsay, the longtime owner of the team, passed away in his sleep at the age of 65. Irsay has been one of the most enthusiastic owners in professional sports.

Irsay started with the Colts as a teenage ball boy and took ownership after his father's death in 1997. The team won a Super Bowl and two AFC championships under his nearly three-decade tenure.
