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.
