The folks over in Philly have some thoughts about this news, and took to the airwaves of Channel 6 ABC Philadelphia to talk about it recently.

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie may or may not be among those bidding to take control of the Boston Celtics, but right now that's just a high-profile rumor.

Jeffrey Lurie's Philadelphia Eagles have a chance to secure another Super Bowl ring. The last time they did, they defeated Lurie's hometown team: the New England Patriots. But this week, Lurie's name has been making headlines because of a different Massachusetts team.

Some of Boston's best athletes, like the Patriots' Tom Brady and the Red Sox's Mookie Betts, have to leave town. But fans still love them.

According to Bill Simmons, Boston native and Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is one of the finalists to buy the Celtics.

Podcaster Bill Simmons of The Ringer says Lurie is on the short list of potential buyers for the Boston Celtics.

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is likely focused on his team’s looming Super Bowl LIX showdown with Kansas City but the confetti for the Eagles’ second NFC Championship in three years had hardly fallen Sunday night when a report made it appear that the 73-year-old businessman has another battle waiting.

Current Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca remains the only person to publicly state his intentions of entering the bidding process.

Jeffrey Lurie is reportedly 'in the running' to buy the Boston Celtics. Here's why he should just focus on the Eagles.

One notable name has emerged from the first round of bids to buy the Celtics last week according to Bill Simmons.

“Mentioned this near the end of tonight’s podcast: Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is in the running to buy the Boston Celtics. He’s a Boston native w/ degrees from Clark, Brandeis AND B.U. His first big company was called Chestnut Hill Productions. Huge Celts fan obviously.”

The Philadelphia Eagles are off to the Super Bowl, but team owner Jeffrey Lurie may also have the Boston Celtics on his mind.
