Jalen Hurts' Mom Had 'Tense' Confrontation at Super Bowl Party

"Saturday night, night before the Super Bowl, late," Wright emphasized. "Having a good time, I don’t work the next day, a few drinks like most people are. And a woman walks up to me, and says 'I need to ask you one question. Why do you talk so bad about Jalen Hurts?' I was like, 'Well I don’t think I talk bad,' and she was not budging a bit. She's like, 'No, no you do.'"

It only gets funnier from there, as Wright continued:

"Once this goes on for five, six, seven minutes, I had a little moment of clarity and I said, ‘Ma'am, can I ask you one question real quick? Are you Jalen Hurts’ mother?' She said, 'Yes, I am.'"

With the panel smiling and laughing, Wright explained the back and forth went on for another 15 minutes, while maintaining it was cordial but "tense" throughout.

But perhaps the best line from a rather blunt and confident Pamela Hurts was saved for the end:

“She ended it with this, ‘I just want to know what you’re going to say when he wins tomorrow [on Sunday].'”

And boom goes the dynamite.

You have to appreciate a mother sticking up for her son—in this case Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts—and paying close enough attention to NFL media chatter to keep all of those receipts and call out someone like Wright, who was basically forced into an extensive apology to "Mrs. Hurts" in the aftermath, in turn praising her son in glowing fashion.

To put his verbal apology letter succinctly, Wright now has Hurts in the same conversation of elite NFL quarterbacks alongside Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen.

There's a decent chance we don't get such enthusiastic, all-encompassing praise and positivity from Wright about the play of Hurts in the Super Bowl if not for Mrs. Hurts directly calling him out the night before.

What a ridiculously great weekend, or week for that matter, for the Hurts family.
