Jim Irsay asks life’s most important question

Not everyone can own a football team, but we all want to feel secure.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is known for his joyful Twitter account. He offers followers a chance to win tickets, lavish them with gifts, and give stern warnings to anyone who crosses his beloved Colts. Irsay needed something on Tuesday, an answer to a simple question.

Well, is it? The key is determining what “it” is, and whether being a billionaire NFL owner is enough to have protection.

There’s a fairly good chance he’s referencing Marathon Man, which is to say the MOST plausible answer is a near 30-year-old movie about a diamond heist with Nazis. In case this isn’t accurate we have a few more ideas what Irsay could be afraid of.

- Bill Polian

- Krokodil

- Auto correct

- The Noid

- Frying a turkey

- Reading levels

- Twerking

- Eating expired Nickelodeon Gak
