What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorESPN reports Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is out Sunday against the Panthers with a superficial blood clot in his calf.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChip, Kenji, give me your hot takes, and my thermometer will decide.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy take is the calf deserves a grand opening. Ribbon, big scissors, a folding table of free cookies, and the clot gets evicted by halftime.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCookies and eviction. That is NOT hot, Chip, that is a Tuesday at your mall.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMy take is the clot should be left on read.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCalves blow up when you give them attention, and honestly it's just trying to get views.
