*Fox Sports analyst Nick Wright was confronted by Jalen Hurts‘ mother, Pamela, before Super Bowl LIX due to his harsh criticism of the star quarterback.
Hurts had an outstanding season, leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a 14–3 record, winning their division, and securing a Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite his impressive performance in Super Bowl LVII, Hurts had faced criticism for inconsistent play, with some labeling him Philadelphia’s weak link. Wright, one of his harshest critics, discussed the encounter with Hurts’ mom on his podcast, What’s Wright? with Nick Wright.
“Saturday night, DraftKings’ Klutch Sports party at Brennan’s in New Orleans, this woman comes up to me and says, ‘I would like to ask you a question, why do you talk so bad about Jalen Hurts?’ I was like, ‘Well, I don’t know that’s fair,’ She was like, ‘Yes, it is. You always talk bad about him.,” Wright began, per the Irish Star.
“She still is like not really having it and then I realized something I should have realized much earlier in the conversation. And I said, ‘Ma’am, may I ask you a question, are you Jalen Hurts mother?’ And she said, ‘Yes, I am.’
“She obviously just thinks I’m wrong, which is what a mother should think,” Wright continued. “She says, ‘What are you going to say when he wins?’ I was like, ‘Well, if he,’ and before that, she goes, ‘Not if – when he wins.’ So, what I’ll say is, Jalen Hurts now deserves to be just considered one of the five best quarterbacks. Winning a Super Bowl really matters a lot.”
