Some fans think of owners divorcing and go right to what happened with Frank and Jamie McCourt in Los Angeles, an ugly parting that ended with Frank McCourt selling the Dodgers, after Major League Baseball took over franchise operations last year. It does seem relevant that the McCourts had driven the Dodgers deep into debt before their marriage broke up — a situation very different from the Eagles under the Luries. But generally in divorce proceedings, the wife gets a financial settlement, and it's far from clear whether Jeffrey Lurie has a huge chunk of money independent of his ownership of the Eagles. He certainly didn't have that when he bought the team in 1994.
