Hot takes are a good way to bring attention to yourself, whether there is a purpose behind doing so or not. I believe Doug Whaley was conscious of the absurdity of his comment he recently made regarding Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Ham. What I don’t know is what the purpose of it was, beyond simply manufacturing spectacle.
In case you somehow missed it, Whaley, while appearing on 93.7 The Fan, said of Ham that he would be a backup special teams player in today’s game because of the manner in which athletes have evolved in both their physical profile and their training regimen.
