The Patriots may not be in the Super Bowl, but you can still root for a team with Massachusetts ties: Eagles owner Jeff Lurie is from Boston.

There are only so many days anymore that Jeffrey Lurie chooses to speak publicly, or feels that he must. Monday here, amid the chaotic absurdity of Super Bowl Opening Night, was one such day. He lowered himself onto a chair on the Superdome turf and let the questioners come to him.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles are about to play in another Super Bowl on Sunday and team owner Jeffrey Lurie was asked about whether he'd ever renovate Lincoln Financial Field. His comments are very telling about not just Philly but also the state of NFL teams and where the game is going.
