A few coaches and players from other teams made light of the premise, and Young faced criticism from some corners for comparing the Eagles with the 1992 U.S. Olympic men's basketball team.
"That's just how I feel," Young said when he was asked if he regretted making the statement. "I don't care what nobody else says, that's how I feel about the guys here. . . . You can't tell me not what to say."
Eagles coach Andy Reid was asked about Young's most recent comments during his radio show on WIP-AM (610).
"The bottom line is you got to go play," Reid said. "And so if he's feeling the dream then he can do his little dream thing. Personally, I like Vince Young. I really like him. I like the way he's handling himself and doing the things he's doing."
Reid, owner Jeffrey Lurie, team president Joe Banner and pretty much every Eagles player has done their best to distance themselves from any "Dream Team" comparisons.
"It's just basically what I mean," Young said. "We do have some really talented guys, and I feel like if we continue to keep working and taking care of our responsibilities and finish like a team like we want to finish, I feel like that's pretty much how I called it.
"How everybody want to take it, that's how everybody is going to take it. Just how the Miami Heat was - them guys ended up being in the NBA Finals."
Young said that no one within the Eagles organization has talked to him about the comment and that he has not received any ribbing from other players and former teammates from around the NFL.
"Nobody around here really talking about it," Young said. "It's just mostly outside this locker room."
