I'd argue top 5, maybe even top 3?
Owning the biggest team in the biggest media market. He's the only owner I can think of off the top of my head that's appeared on Saturday Night Live. Among sports fans, names like Bob Irsay or Marge Schott are pretty well known, but I'm not even sure I'd recognize Marge Schott if I saw a picture of her, I just know her by reputation. Jay-Z is part owner of the New Jersey Nets, but he's not exactly famous AS an owner. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Going to war without the French is like going hunting without an accordion." |

He's to the Baltimore / Indianapolis Colts what Art Modell was to the Cleveland Browns / Baltimore Ravens, I suppose.
But then to that point I suppose even Modell's more (in)famous than Irsay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Going to war without the French is like going hunting without an accordion." |
