"When You Take A Deuce, You Don't Sit There And Look At It. You Flush It" - Jalen Hurts' Incredibly Philosophical Approach To Losing
I love Jalen Hurts so damn much. You'd be hard pressed to find somebody in the city of Philadelphia who loves this guy more than me. And as amazing as this quote is, as much as I'd love to have that on a shirt....
well...
Well I just don't think he's right in this particular instance. Don't get me wrong---for the most part when you take a shit, you just go right ahead and flush it. Personally I'm a fan of the courtesy flush. You dump, flush immediately, wipe, and then flush again. Runs up the water bill a little but it's the right thing to do. So I get where Jalen Hurts is coming from here. The only issue is that the Eagles looked sick last night in Dallas. They looked to be violently ill. Whether it was the offense, the defense, the penalties, the playcalling, the everything. It just all looked horrible.

And when that's the case, well sometimes you're going to have a doctor who is going to want to look at your shit. Get a little stool sample and examine it to see what is wrong.
So I love Jalen. And more often than not, I'm on the side of just flushing the deuce without looking at it. But when you play that poorly and get your shit shoved right back up your ass by your biggest opponent, well unfortunately you have to look at the stool sample. You need to examine exactly what went wrong here. It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it.
Still an all-time quote though. Almost makes last night's ass kicking worth it. Almost.
