I think his punishment will be all cosmetic.
All show and no go.
If so, look for the players union to lash back at "excessive" punishment/fines for players transgressions.

Full release in Jim Irsay suspension:
Following his plea of guilty to one misdemeanor count of driving while impaired, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has been suspended for the team's first six regular-season games and fined $500,000 for violating the league's Personal Conduct Policy, the NFL announced today. Mr. Irsay will be eligible to return following the Colts' game against the Houston Texans on October 9.
Terms of the suspension imposed by Commissioner Roger Goodell include the following:
- During the suspension, which takes effect at 5 p.m. ET tomorrow, Mr. Irsay may not be present at the club's facility, may not attend any practices or games, may not represent the club at league or league committee meetings or at any other team or league event, and may not conduct media interviews or engage in social media regarding any team or league matters.
- In addition, Mr. Irsay is fined $500,000, the maximum permitted under league rules.
- Mr. Irsay will be subject to ongoing treatment, counseling, and testing as determined by medical professionals and the Indiana court.
Commissioner Goodell noted that no draft choice forfeiture or other competitive sanction will be assessed because the conduct did not have competitive consequences.
In a letter to Mr. Irsay, Commissioner Goodell said, "I have stated on numerous occasions that owners, management personnel and coaches must be held to a higher standard than players. We discussed this during our meeting and you expressed your support for that view, volunteering that owners should be held to the highest standard."

This is b******t! He should be held to a higher standard and should be fined the amount he would have made during the time missed just like a player would!

How can the Colts win with a back up owner sitting in his suite?

At least his players will benefit from his absence...but should the team benefit from his mistakes? Perhaps they should have to forfeit six games...JK.
