Eagles are going to fly

Intern Cheyenne quickly has grown to be a fan of the Eagles, who have had quite the offseason. Here's his take on how Philadelphia will fare this year:

The Philadelphia Eagles advanced to the playoffs last season with a 10-6 record, and this season is going to be even better.

In fact, the Eagles are going to be so good I can guarantee they will win the Super Bowl. The Green Bay Packers may have beaten the Eagles during Wild Card Weekend last season, but they won’t this year.
Who is the quarterback for the Packers? It’s not Michael Vick, so who really cares? Vick will be the MVP of the NFL this coming season, not Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady.

Why? Think about it. When was the last time you saw Brady run for a first down? Vick is great when running, not to mention throwing on the run. He’s the most exciting player in the NFL, and the spotlight is on the Eagles — not the Packers or Patriots.

Enough about the soon-to-be league MVP. The Eagles are really having a terrible off-season (that’s sarcasm). I mean, all they did was sign Nnamdi Asomugha — the most prized free agent during the offseason — Jason Babin, Vince Young, Cullen Jenkins and Ronnie Brown. They dumped the dead weight known as Kevin Kolb and, in return, acquired Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

Vince Young called the Eagles a “Dream Team.” And he’s right. Young, though didn’t promise seven championships like that guy on the Miami Heat — I seemed to have forgotten his name. Actually Vince Young didn’t say they were going to win anything.

They’ll simply let their play do the talking.
