We asked football fanatics Anthony Wright and Dennis Maher five quick questions about this years’ Super Bowl LII as their home teams go head to head: Philadelphia Eagles vs. New England Patriots. The Eagles, never having won a Super Bowl, are the underdogs against the returning champions, the Patriots who have five trophies under their belt.
Anthony Wright
What are your Super Bowl plans?
“We gonna party like it’s 1999. A lot of people are not familiar but 25 years ago the Eagles had a saying “bring it home for Jerome” because we lost one of our best players Jerome Brown. Twenty-five years later, I think that saying is finally gonna come true.”
Who is going to win and why?
“The Eagles are going to win because it’s our time. All good things must come to an end. This Eagles thing is special. When it’s special nothing can interrupt it. We lost some of our best players earlier in the season but we haven’t lost a step. The camaraderie is special, everyone’s got everyone back. We refuse to lose.”

Why is this Super Bowl so important to you?
