- Super Bowl. Super Bowl cabal? Travis Kelce reaffirms his 'love' for Club America with Diana Flores
- NFL. Eli Manning picks the Chiefs to win Super Bowl LIX, despite ties to Eagles star Redacción:
Jalen Hurts is just as good at dodging tackles as deflecting uncomfortable questions. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback gave a sample of his extraordinary ability by masterfully answering an awkward question just days before Super Bowl LIX, where he will face the Kansas City Chiefs.
For better or worse, Super Bowl Media Day can be a real circus. Hundreds of reporters from dozens of countries try to get answers from players and gain an audience or readers for their information, and they spare no resources to do so.
In this regard, it is worth recalling the reporter dressed as a bride who asked Tom Brady if he would marry her or a reporter dressed as a "fortune teller" predicting the future of players in the big game. On Monday night, an anonymous reporter brought back these curious episodes with the strangest question of this year.
Super Bowl LIX Special: Everything you need to know about Eagles vs Chiefs
Hurts' no-nonsense attitude
As expected, Hurts' podium at the New Orleans Superdome was one of the busiest. As hundreds of reporters tried to get an answer from the Eagles star, one of them shouted out of turn, "How can I get more handsome?"
The voice, coming from the edges of the crowd swarming Hurts, continued saying, "My girlfriend says you're the most handsome quarterback in this league, any advice? Something to do with my hair? I'm desperate, anything."
With the same calm with which he awaits a blitz from the linebackers, Hurts responded, "I don't know if I can help you on that one. Sounds like a DNA thing." Without giving the incident any further importance, the Philadelphia signal-caller turned away, waiting for the next question.
Everything is ready for the big game
Super Bowl LIX is scheduled for Sunday, February 9. The Chiefs and the Eagles are already in New Orleans, ready to take the turf of the Caesars Superdome in search of glory.
Hurts and company will try to ruin the Chiefs' attempt to get an unprecedented three-peat. For Hurts, it would be the first championship ring of his career, while his rival, Patrick Mahomes, is looking for the fourth title that cement his legacy in the NFL.
