Mercifully, we’ve made it to Friday, and have a little more than 48 hours until Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans. Here is something worth watching:

“Our whole family would always love you no matter what you do.”

Ahead of the Super Bowl, @Eagles RB @saquon’s daughter, Jada, leaves a heartwarming voicemail for her dad. 🥹 pic.twitter.com/d0PeMBjzE1

“Hi Daddy, it’s Jada. I’m so excited for your big game. Yeah! Fly Eagles Fly. I really, really, really hope you win, and daddy, really, I’m really thankful that you’ve been caring for your whole family and I know you’re going to win. But if you don’t, that is OK, I’ll always always love you.”

Daughters are great.

Also, an observation –

Saquon Barkley seems like an easy guy to pull for if you’re a neutral. Honestly can’t think of any reason why you would dislike Saquon outside of some pre-existing rooting conflict. Even when he was with Penn State and the Giants I don’t think we ever came up with a legitimate reason to kill him. He was a great player wearing the wrong colors, that’s about it. And unless my memory fails me, I don’t recall any character issues or off-field stuff that’s ever happened with him. It’s not like he’s kicking women out of a party bus on the New Jersey Turnpike, like Philadelphia running backs of yesteryear. Allegedly.
