Why Chris Long is on today's editorial page

The NFL is making all kinds of headlines - many of them for things that have nothing to do with what goes on between the lines.

You know, the actual games.

Today on our editorial page, we focus on another off-the-field incident.

No, it's not what you think.

Today we salute Eagles defensive end Chris Long.

What is he doing to merit a spot on our editorial page?

He's donating the rest of his salary for this season to a fund he set up to increase educational opportunities for underserved kids who might otherwise not get that opportunity.

Forget what happens on the field.

Long is a winner in our book.
