They excutive produced Inocente, which won the oscar for best documentary.

Two Oscars now for them, truly the golden standard.

[McnabbsPHIeagles]

Imagined if they cared about football?

They will look good in Jeffrey's empty Super Bowl trophy case.

Two Oscars, zero Super Bowls.

So you want Jeff Lurie to micromanage and be like Jerry Jones?  Oh you don't?  Then shut your damn mouth.

[DEagle7]

Congrats to them.  He's the owner you morons who cares if he does other things? What, would you prefer Jerry Jones or Al Davis up there calling all the shots? You people whine about everything it's unbelievable.

Basically this. Who gives a flying F what Lurie does outside of the Eagles.

Because there's never been a successful businessman AND successful sports owner... you either do one right or the other.  No wonder you idiots liked that alchie Leonard Tose so much

If you have to announce you were fishing in the first place it was either A) a lame fishing thread, or B) a weak attempt at back tracking after a post didn't go the way you expected it to.

Wut? You realize almost every owner is still involved with their trade outside of their franchise?

[jwill2420]

Yippee doooooooo

[kevkro64]

I can find no fault in the Luries winning their second Oscar, congratulations.

So we just need chip kelly to start directing disappointing movies so we can win some superbowls and the universe will be in balance.

[GrahamCracker]

Tose was a drunk and a gambler, two very powerful addictions. We're lucky he didn't give the team away. Philadelphia native Norman Braman, OTOH, was a shrewd business man who ran several successful businesses, both here and in Florida. Last I checked he owned some 25 automobile dealerships. IMO he was more concerned with making (and keeping) the money he was making from the Eagles. I'll never forgive him for letting Reggie White walk. Granted, at the time Reggie was one of the first players to benefit from the new FA rules that Reggie and a number of other players fought the NFL for and won. Reggie landed in GB for the then unheard of sum of $16 mil. over 4 years. Still, Reggie was one of the most gifted and powerful NFL players ever and he should have never left the Eagles. I was glad to hear that Braman lost a  TON  of dough in the Bernie Maidoff rip-off. Serves him right but I'm sure he's still very well off.

Not to be pedantic, but Inocente won for best short documentary. Searching for Sugarman won best documentary.

The two you thought you were dissing have Lombardis

[Hoagie]

Al Davis isn't even alive anymore... so no, I wouldn't take a dead guy over Lurie.

Doesn't matter, there's no way you could tell me you'd rather have either of those 2 over Lurie. As a cowboy fan you know better than most how detrimental Jone's meddling can be. Not saying anything about your franchise as a whole or your history, just the owner.

As an owner I wouldn't want anyone else..as a GM though that's another story

And therein lies the problem...he is both. Just pointing out that while people complain about Lurie "not focusing on football", teams where to owner is more involved in personnel decisions usually wish their owners would stick to ownership issues.  That's all.
