Back in March, Colts owner Jim Irsay was pulled over by police and arrested. At the time he refused to take a blood test and now it's costing him his driver's license.

The Indianapolis Star reports Thursday that Irsay's license is suspended for a year, beginning on May 27.

Indiana law requires a one-year suspension of a driver's license when someone refuses to take a blood test.

Irsay, according to police at the time, failed several sobriety tests. He entered rehab shortly after the March 16 arrest.

Charges were filed on May 23 in Indiana court against Irsay and he faces two counts of impaired driving.

An initial hearing is set for June 19 in Irsay's case.

Seahawks planning a RB committee



Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said his offense will use a "running back by committee." No. 2 RB Christine Michael received praise from Bevell, now in his fourth year with Seattle. "We really like what Michael is doing right now." Head coach Pete Carroll also piled praise onto Michael, noting he was a breakout candidate in 2014.



The wheels haven't quite fallen off for RB Marshawn Lynch. Hanging on every word spoken in early June will drive fantasy owners into rash decisions. Lynch is a first-round pick, perhaps a bit later into the first now. Seattle remains one of the most run-dominant teams in the NFL. Michael deserves an opportunity to play. He is athletic and dynamic. Lynch and Michael will be a formidable duo. This should push Lynch down a few picks in his average draft position. This news stokes the flames building for Michael as a possible "sleeper."
