TheIndianapolis Coltsannounced Friday longtime owner Jim Irsay will be inducted into the franchise's Ring of Honor during the team's season opener Sept. 7. Irsay died May 21at the age of 65. He had been the team's principal owner and CEO since 1997, following the death of his father, Robert Irsay. At the time, he was the NFL's youngest owner at 37. During Jim Irsay's 28 years as principal owner, the Colts won 10 division titles, reached the postseason 16 times and got to two Super Bowls, winning Super Bowl XLI in 2006. Much of that success occurred with Peyton Manning, who was selected No. 1 overall in the 1998 NFL Draft and played 13 seasons with the franchise. Manning is also in the team's Ring of Honor.
