BBS talks Foyt and Irsay. Some of this article is boring yackity yak, but the insights on Foyt getting some work in the scouting department is interesting and sound stuff.
The marriage of the Foyt and Irsay families in Indiana is a marriage of Hoosier royalty. If this were translated onto a more national stage, it would be like Barak Obama’s daughter (grown up, of course) marrying a Kennedy. To quote VP Joseph Biden, it’s a “big f*cking deal” in the Hoosier state. Now that Foyt-Irsay union is expecting heirs, the natural course of discussion shifts to transition of ownership.
When Jim Irsay retires, (he said he’d do so when Peyton Manning does), who will take over this franchise?
Has that transition process started? Which of Irsay’s daughters will have full control, Casey or her sister, Carlie Irsay-Gordon? With Foyt 4 advised by Pappa Jim to take a role with the team, does that mean Casey is the logical successor, or is Foyt 4 the man who will one day stand next to the first round draft pick and smile for the cameras?
