Eagles Beat Pats In Super Bowl 52 Behind Monster Offensive Performance (Minneapolis, MN) -- The Philadelphia Eagles batted down a Tom Brady hail Mary attempt to clinch a 41-33 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52 at U.S. Bank Stadium. It was the first Super Bowl victory in Eagles' history. Brandon Graham forced a Brady fumble late in the fourth quarter that Derek Barnett recovered in what was New England's only turnover of the game. Philadelphia took the lead on the previous drive when Nick Foles found Zach Ertz in the end zone from 11 yards out with 2:21 left in the final quarter. The seven-minute-and-one second drive was a response to the Pats taking their first lead of the game on Rob Gronkowski's second touchdown from Brady. Philadelphia took a 22-12 lead into halftime off a fourth-and-goal trick play score that saw tight end Trey Burton throw a one-yard TD pass to quarterback Nick Foles. Foles finished throwing for 373 yards, three touchdowns and one interception to earn MVP honors. The Eagles averaged 6.1 yards per rush on their way to 164 yards on the ground. Brady broke his own Super Bowl record throwing for 505 yards. He also tossed three TDs.

Girl Scout Sells Cookies Outside Pot Dispensary (San Diego, CA) -- One enterprising Southern California Girl Scout saw that cookie season began about the same time California's legalized marijuana sales kicked off. So she set up her cookie stand outside the Urbn Leaf marijuana dispensary in San Diego. KGTV reports the scheme was a success. The Scout sold more than 300 boxes of Girl Scout cookies to Urbn Leaf customers who wanted something to snack on after they lit up later. Officially, Girl Scouts are not a huge fan of cookie sales outside of pot shops. The Colorado chapter forbids any cookie sales outside dispensaries. THEY REFER TO IT AS SHOOTING FISH IN A BARREL!

THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE EAU GALLIE ART DISTRICT WHERE ALL THEY’D HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS PLEASING THE FURNITURE SHOP OWNER ACROSS THE STREET!

Fans At WVU Help Singer Sing National Anthem (Morgantown, West Virginia) -- West Virginia University fans joined in to help out with the National Anthem this weekend when the singer's microphone kept cutting in and out.

"West Virginia Illustrated" caught it all on camera as thousands chanted the tune. Thousands have viewed the video on social media.
