The late Jim Irsay's 3 daughters take charge of Colts under his transition plan
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts are moving forward with the late Jim Irsay's transition plan for ownership, which calls for his three daughters to take charge of the club.
The team said Monday that Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson each would continue to hold the title of owner, which they have done since 2012 when they were named vice chairs. Irsay-Gordon is now CEO, and Foyt is executive vice president. Jackson will be chief brand officer.
Irsay died last month at age 65. He had long battled issues of health and addiction and had been far less visible following a fall at his home in December.
All three of the sisters grew up around the Colts, just as their father did before taking over as owner following the death of his father, Robert Irsay, in 1997.
Irsay-Gordon has represented the Colts at various NFL meetings since 2004, three years before Foyt joined the front office. Foyt had previously worked for the NFL in London. Jackson has been leading the family's initiative to raise awareness of mental health.

The stock has declined about 60% since that merger was completed in April 2022, wiping out some $40 billion from the company's market value.

Meet the Philadelphia cancer patient being honored before Tuesday's Phillies' game
A Philadelphia cancer patient will be honored at the Phillies' game on Tuesday night. The Fox Chase Cancer Center and the Phillies are joining forces for what they're calling Strike Out Cancer Night. The ceremonial first pitch will come from a young man who's part of a concerning trend. "As a lifelong Phillies fan, you think that you're gonna get to the major leagues by playing," Josh Breen said. "I think that this is a different way of going." As a young cancer patient, Breen will be throwing out the first pitch at the Phillies' Strike Out Cancer Night "Definitely a little bit of pressure," Breen said. In physical therapy now at Fox Chase, Breen knows all about pressure. A year ago, he was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma, a deadly kind of skin cancer. It was right after his wedding. Breen was on his honeymoon in Italy and found a lump. "Very scary at the time," Breen said. "It's supposed to be the best part of your life. And then you kind of quickly get torn down." Breen was only 30 when he was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma, which is part of a new trend of young people being diagnosed with different types of cancer. Josh Breen, who was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma last year, will throw out the first pitch at Tuesday's Phillies' game as a part of Strike Out Cancer Night. CBS News Philadelphia "And many young patients, cancer is not on their radar as it should not be, but suddenly they're presenting with these small lesions that then can turn into bigger problems," Dr. Jeffrey Farma, of Fox Chase Cancer Center, said. Farma, the head of surgery at Fox Chase, said that before his surgery, Breen had immunotherapy, which is changing the face of cancer. "The survival and outcomes is really the best we've ever seen, so really, really exciting," Farma said. And the exciting cancer advancements now come with fertility options. "I was able to bank my sperm a week before I started immunotherapy treatment," Breen said. Breen and his wife, Sam, are expecting a baby boy on July 19. Fox Chase now has a program specifically for young cancer patients to help with everything from fertility to work, school and family issues. "From this moment that our younger patients are in the door, we're providing all of these resources in a combined program, which is amazing," Farma said. Breen said it's been a wild year of highs and lows. Now, it's just about getting his pitch over home plate. "Things are definitely trending in the right direction," Breen said. Breen will no doubt get plenty of applause Tuesday night before the game starts. He said he always uses sunscreen now, which is critical for guarding against skin cancer.
