'Jalen Hurts Hasn't Thrown Enough Training Camp Interceptions' is Undeniably the Greatest Hot Take Ever
This is art. I abhor it with every fiber of my being and respect it at the same time:

Incredible. Just to set the scene here, these guys are building an entire segment around Eliot Shorr-Parks training camp stats. They haven’t watched a single minute of the Eagles’ preseason, but Nick Wright crafts an argument that we should be concerned because Jalen Hurts hasn’t thrown enough interceptions. In his mind, it’s proof that Hurts hasn’t taken enough risks OR that the Eagles defense continues to stink. And then he backs it up with the ironclad and indisputable statement of “I don’t care, I know I’m right,” followed by a shit-eating grin because he knows how ridiculous he sounds and can’t believe he gets paid to say it.
Amazing segment though. A perfect bit of performance art. This is the final boss of saying shit just to say shit. This makes Philadelphia sports talk radio look like the hot take minor leagues. Nick Wright is Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and WIP is Bryson Ware of the Clearwater Threshers. When you talk about grabbing the low-hanging fruit, this fruit is already laying on the floor. It’s so low that it’s being removed from the vine. It’s a hot take cantaloupe.
