Soooo...

Smoke weed = 1 year ban
Knock out a woman = 2 games
DUI + stash of hard drugs (Irsay) = No punishment (yet anyway)

Makes a ton of sense...

Jim Irsay suspended six games

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has been suspended six games and fined $500,000 after pleading guilty to one misdemeanor count of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

The NFL announced the penalties Tuesday, stating that Irsay violated the league's personal conduct policy. The suspension takes effect at 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday, and Irsay will be eligible to return after Indianapolis' game against the Houston Texans on Oct. 9.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell opted against the forfeiture of a draft pick, or any other competitive penalty against the Colts, because Irsay's conduct did not have competitive consequences.

Under the terms of the suspension, Irsay cannot attend any games or practices and is not allowed to be present at the Colts' facility.

The NFL also has barred Irsay from representing the Colts at any league-affiliated event, including league committee meetings. Irsay also cannot conduct media interviews or participate on social media regarding any team or league matters.

"I have stated on numerous occasions that owners, management personnel and coaches must be held to a higher standard than players," Goodell said to Irsay in a letter, which was attached to the league's statement. "We discussed this during our meeting and you expressed your support for that view, volunteering that owners should be held to the highest standard."

Irsay getting sent away from the Colts is a blessing for the Colts. It's a good time to start following Irsay's twitter, though.

He's also not allowed to write paychecks.
