Ed Martin Report

Much to my surprise I am still feeling charged up by the Big Game last Sunday.  I never thought I would say this but watching that epic battle between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots – right until the dramatic final moments -- was much more exciting than anything else I saw that night, including the halftime show, the special telecast of This Is Us that came later and, most notably, the commercials.  Sports aren’t a primary focus in my life or my career; entertainment programming always comes first.  But the opposite happened on Sunday.  With apologies to Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and their crew, the Eagles’ first-ever Super Bowl win seems to have helped lift everyone’s spirits to a level they would not necessarily have reached had the game ended with a sixth victory for the Patriots. (Pictured above, left to right, are Eagles Jalen Mills, Alshon Jeffery, Chris Long, Nelson Agholor and Zach Ertz, who appeared Tuesday night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.)
