00:00Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is in the running to buy the Boston Celtics.

00:04He's a Boston native with degrees from Clark, Brandeis, and BU.

00:09His first big company was called Chestnut Hill Productions.

00:11I was looking at some of the films that they put together.

00:13Oh yeah?

00:14I don't know how many of them you saw, Keith.

00:15No.

00:16What kind of movies were they?

00:17Let me look it up again.

00:18I'll find it for you.

00:19He's a huge Celtics fan, obviously.

00:20You weigh in with your thoughts on Lurie.

00:21I'll get to some of the films.

00:22I'll take it.

00:23I mean, look at what Philadelphia's done.

00:24Philadelphia's been good.

00:25They're willing to invest in their club.

00:26That's the most important thing.

00:27That's what we're watching, right?

00:28Nobody wants a John Henry ownership group because you're afraid they're going to just

00:32try to do whatever they can to make money and not necessarily win at all costs.

00:37I look at Philadelphia.

00:39Now this is sort of like more of a GM move, but what stands out to me is they swung and

00:44missed in the first round on Justin Jefferson.

00:47They tried drafting a receiver.

00:49They identified Jalen Rager as better than Justin Jefferson.

00:52And did they just sit back and be like, wow, we screwed that one up?

00:56Nope.

00:57They used another first round pick on a wide receiver.

00:58They traded a first round pick for a wide receiver.

01:01And I know there's been up and down and he's reading books on the sideline and everything,

01:04but AJ Brown has been a huge, huge addition to them.

01:08Look at the consistency of winning and spending.

01:10Like I'll, I'll take Jeffrey Lurie.

01:12So same.

01:13I like that.

01:14He's local.

01:15I don't like that.

01:16He's the Eagles owner.

01:17I got to hold my nose on that.

01:18That's weird, but whatever.

01:19That's how it works.

01:20Yeah.

01:21It's John Henry.

01:22Yes.

01:23Cause what it is, but whatever.

01:24I like him in the mix again as a Boston guy.

01:25Uh, some of the film, the big one was, uh, I love you to death, Keefe.

01:28Ooh, Kevin Kline, Tracy Ullman, Aleda, River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves was in it.

01:32That was one of the, that was one of the big ones.

01:34Jeff Lurie.

01:35Jeff Lurie also appeared in, I don't recall this, in Jerry Maguire playing himself.

01:39Not just the ultimate jock.

01:41Not just the ultimate jock.

01:43That's true.
