Our very-opinionated intern, Cheyenne, weighs in on who will be (and won't be) in the Super Bowl, and takes a swipe at Daily News sportswriter Josh Krueger:
The Philadelphia Eagles are 10-4 and most likely will end the season 12-4, going into the playoffs on a five-game win streak. Quarterback Michael Vick is a strong candidate for the NFL MVP
DeSean Jackson is a top-five wide receiver with the ability to run back a kick or punt for a touchdown any time (the Giants are well aware of that), and he’s also one of Vick’s top targets.
Daily News sportswriter Josh Krueger wrote a blog post entitled “Vick, Eagles are unlikable” and called DeSean Jackson an “idiot receiver.” Well, that “idiot” is arguably the best receiver in the NFL. Many people probably think DeSean is an idiot, but people tend to hate on top players. So if you want to diss DeSean, go ahead, but you’re basically saying he is great.
In addition to these superstars, the Eagles also have receiver Jeremy Maclin, running back LeSean McCoy and tight end Brent Celek all on their offense. The Eagles have an amazing offense and a pretty good defense. They can go toe to toe with any team and win. The Eagles are so good, in fact, they got a Dolphins fan talking like it is his favorite team (although they are my second favorite).
I wish the Eagles could play the Patriots in the playoffs, and that can only happen if they both reach the Super Bowl. And the Patriots won’t make it that far. I hate New England so I don’t want it to be in the Super Bowl.
If the Patriots did make it, the Eagles definitely would win. I strongly believe people hate the Patriots more than they hate the Eagles, unless your name is Josh Krueger.

Saying DeSean Jackson is an idiot (which is not going out on a limb by any stretch) doesn’t mean I don’t respect his talent as a player. I just wish, like I do with most top-level wide receivers, he could play the game without acting like a clown. Do a YouTube search of Jackson and, among the highlights, you’ll also find videos of some of his bonehead plays (including multiple instances of voluntarily fumbling the ball on the goal line).
My issues with Vick are many. First and foremost, I have two dogs, and so Vick’s past transgressions with dogfighting sicken me. Sure, he “paid his debt to society,” but I haven’t, and won’t, forgive him. Secondly, I’m fed up with the conquering-hero treatment he’s getting. The guy did unspeakable things to dogs, spent a year and a half in prison and now people act like he’s a cancer survivor (not an ex-con) resurrecting his career. The adversity he faced was all self-inflicted, thus, he deserves no sympathy, nor any praise above and beyond any other outstanding player.
