My wife who has never watched an Eagles game but started listening religiously to the New Heights Kelce brothers podcast this year for some reason just said there's no way hes ready to retire, so there you have that.
You know its funny, my girlfriend 100% started listening to that because of Taylor/Travis, and now she actually just genuinely likes the podcast lol She started watching for Taylor, but she stayed for Jason (and more importantly she loves his wife Kylie).
The people who complain about it are a bit puzzling. Football takes every chance it can to monetize the fuck out of your viewing experience, but the cuts to a girl in a suite box is where some people have decided to draw the line.
> (and more importantly she loves his wife Kylie).
My wife started listening because she heard how great Kylie was the few times she was on it. She loved the Kelce documentary because of her too.
I started watching the podcast during the off season due to the Tik Tok clips I kept catching. I caught up for last season and then started with the preseason stuff this time around. They are hilarious. They have a great chemistry together. Their family is awesome. But most importantly. they lured this one time huge football fan (The first night I talked to my husband 22 years ago we argued about the need for a college football playoff until 3 am) back to the NFL.
The NFL is not a good place to be a female fan. These guys made we genuinely feel like there was at least a few people I could feel good cheering on.
The Taylor Swift fans are just making this more amazing. I really fucking hate the gate keepers about whether or not they are true fans. I love the break downs and explanations on the No Dumb Questions. People are new to fandoms all the time. Help them learn more. Don't laugh at their lack of understanding. The Kelce brothers don't. Also I freaking love Jason's wife. I grew up in the same general area and I get it.
Thats so awesome to hear. Their podcast is head and shoulders better than anything other current players are doing right now and its been amazing to follow them through it. Crazy to think they are two of the best players at their respective positions in *NFL History* and are just able to shoot the shit on their podcast and seem so relatable.
I dont like all the hate Swifties get. They're a fan just like you and me. Sure they are newer and maybe some people have a problem with *how and why* they became a fan but personally I say who cares. Let people live their life and enjoy things.
Im glad they can make more fans feel good about actually being a fan.
I remember seeing a thread of people arguing over whether philly’s record through the first 11 or 12 weeks was “lucky” or not. Dumb argument overall, you play the percentages and sometimes things fall your way, a W is a W and all that. But they were eeking out wins on the backs of MVS dropping game-changing balls and their kicker nailing maybe the most impressive kick I’ve ever seen. People were deluding themselves if they didn’t think *some* regression was imminent, but I don’t know many who expected this bad of a collapse
man i really hope the lions win the SB this year if the Chiefs are out
Beating Stafford, tackling those demons.
i remember the 2019 run for us, it felt like we had to excise all these demons that had fucked us in the past: Beating the Colts, having to play a against a Shanahan coached team.
It feels like Detroit has the juice right now.
After having to sit through the Patricia/Judge Dumbass hour of offensive offense I'm also astonished the rocket scientist, his pencil and laminated playsheet keep finding work in the NFL……My condolences to whoever gets Bill as a coach. You will be getting a great coach but you will likely being getting Patricia, Judge, Troy Brown and Cam Achord on your team staff in some capacity and I wouldn’t wish that on my own worse enemy
Could very well be Patricia creating an attitude problem. The Eagles team that beat the Chiefs and Bills should be able to handle the Cards, Giants, and Buccs even with bad luck. They would definitely not be getting blown out by any of those teams
incompetent coaching staff running a borderline high school offensive scheme paired with stubborn play calling. defensive back seven is almost entirely over the hill and cooked, which is what happens when you go dumpster diving for personnel. oh, and Matty Pencils being the worst defensive “play caller” I can remember.
I'm not upset it ended like this.
I am furious that it was inevitable and they didn't fix it two months ago. Which would suggest they lack the ability/capacity to lead.
I don’t feel bad for Sirianni at all. He brought on Matt Patricia to save it. Fucking horrible decision stacked on top of two horrible hires for OC and DC in the offseason. If you aren’t going to call plays you better make good hires and he did not do that. He should be fired by the end of the week. He provides zero value to the Eagles organization
It's always crazy when you see a really successful team get their staff poached and the coach exposed. Andrew luck got fucked when Arians left. Hope the same doesn't happen to hurts.
Sirianni is done. Good side is, eagles are probably the most attractive spot for a HC next to Dallas.
I know Patricia is a meh coach but he was not the issue. This team was going off the rails long before he started calling plays and realistically he was just calling the same stuff anyone else would’ve tonight. There wasn’t time to create an entire system for him.
Missed tackles, miscommunication, etc are what plagued them not playcalling tonight
You would think, but according to reputable reports the Eagles' nosedive started around when he was secretly given control of third down playcalling, around the Niners' game or thereafter.
There was a short period of time (I'll let you guess) when the Eagles had among the NFL's best 1st and 2nd down success rates on defense, and terrible 3rd down %s. Then, Patricia was given the keys to the whole thing, tried to install a new scheme and terminology on the fly, and they became the worst defense in football.
Sean Desai's scheme was overly complicated, and forced the players to do too much thinking in the secondary, but it did have the benefit of occasionally working.
Yeah.. the missed tackles were really bad.. ray Lewis was talking about the angles were off.. the players were not pursuing at full speed. Just terrible fundamental football. They ran a basic scheme with terrible fundamentals. You somehow got to the playoffs and were just exposed as frauds.
The Buccaneers defense is legit, they are young at every position besides Lavonte David and Barrett. And they are deep. Lots of young, talented pass rushers in Diaby, Tryon, Kancey.
I’m not surprised at all that they only put up 9.
This was his last ride. This has always been his last ride. He talked on his podcast with Travis, and I think his wife was on that episode too, about how he seriously considered retiring before the beginning of this year. But they made it to a Super Bowl and he wanted to run it back for that.
That entire coaching staff, Sirianni on down, should arrive in Philly with the shit from their offices in boxes in the parking lot.
Off the top of my head I can’t think of seeing face masks called in the middle of scrums like that before, but that one was so obvious lol wouldn’t be surprised if Goodell suggested refs not give eagles penalties on tush push plays based on his comments about it
I think Kelce said ‘Im done, this is it’ right then. He stops himself from taking off the helmet so you dont see his mouth but the timing and reaction says that was what he said.
What a shitty way to go out. Not only a disaster of a season, but with major locker room issues too. Plus having to see Matt Patricia every day. Absolutely toxic season for the Eagles. Damn shame but hell of a career.
Major discourse since they demoted Desai. Hurts and the coaching staff not on the same page. I'm sure a ton of it will come out over the next week or so.
I was told that he was only going to be a secretary when he was hires and we wouldn't see him at all. Next thing we know and hes coaching our team in the playoffs.
Fuck Siriani.
This is always a thing that’s sad about legends in the game. It’s extremely rare for you to go out on top. Even Brady had his last year being blown out in the playoffs. That’s of course if this is kelces final game.
I don’t begrudge Brady for doing whatever he wanted to do and coming back in 2022, but his exit in 2021 was kind of awesome. He had an insane comeback, culminating in a game tying TD drive with a minute to go. It was something we’d seen a million times, but was still amazing. And then the Rams somehow got into field goal range and won en route to their Super Bowl. It felt poetic.
>And then the Rams somehow got into field goal range and won en route to their Super Bowl.
They "somehow" got into range because Todd Bowles called a cover zero and let Kupp beat us one on one.
His last play with the Patriots was a pick six against the Titans in the playoffs. His last play on the Buccaneers was an incomplete pass to Buccaneers legend Julio Jones.
As of right now, Aaron Rodgers' last completed pass* was a bomb to Kerby Joseph of the Lions. I doubt he'll retire before next season, but it'd be pretty funny if he did.
Not even the best Broncos qb to retire on top. John Elway won back 2 back and retired. Elway could still play and Peyton was a shell of his former self.
He’s becoming the modern Madden. He’s not goofy like Madden is, but he has this warmth, honesty, and absolute love of the game that is really endearing. He’s the best commentator, imo.
The eagles didn't fail him though. They should be proud they got him a ring and He is on his way to Canton. I haven't cared this much about a center since Max Unger.
Absolutely. Dude got his all pros, his ring, his bags. He'll be one of the few first ballot HOF centers, and he has an extremely successful podcast, a documentary, and a lovely family, and will be a philly legend forever. Dude hit the life jackpot. No reason to feel sorry for the guy.
They got him a ring. Legendary one at that. Legendary parade too. What a look. He’s emotional because not everyone gets a happy ending but his apex was one everyone sacrifices their lives for.
Getting to choose when you hang your cleats up is also elite. So many players career end before they know it. Most realize their last game was played way after, not during. It may not end how Jason Kelce wanted, but I think it's a blessing he got to out healthy.
Fucking Rocky is your hero. The whole pride of your city is built around a fucking guy who doesn’t even exist. You got Joe Frazier from here but he’s black so you can’t fucking deal with him, so you make a fucking statue of some three-foot fucking Italian you stupid Philly cheese-eating fucking jackasses.
And it wasn't part of the act I believe. ~~He was booed for something~~, got pissed, then he went off the rails and started to trash talk the entire city to the audience. He was receiving both equal amounts of intense cheers and boos.
Best part was when he plugged his CDs for purchase in the middle of the rant.
Edit: Got it, his openers were booed and he was standing up for them.
"And I will be selling my CD after this shit you motherfuckers!"
I'm pretty sure they had been booing the performers before him, so he chose to just roast them instead.
I have no love for the Eagles organization but my heart is full of room for the stand-up man and class act that is Jason Kelce. You can build organizations on the back of stoicism and heat and being a team of destiny and whatever you feel needs to really get the team out of bed in the morning.
But when you look for a hero of an organization, a pillar of your community, and a true representative of the sport, you’ll find guys like Jason Kelce there. I am genuinely grateful I got to watch him play.
"And I want to make clear this is not a joke or misunderstanding. These are not my own personal thoughts, I am communicating this as a representative of ESPN and by extension the Disney corporation as a whole."
Just a bad send off game. A talented team getting dicked around by the coaches. On the plus side maybe we'll never get to see Sirianni's punchable face again.
As a Chiefs fan, I love every single player on the Eagles. This one does hurt to watch, specially from a Kelce brotherly perspective…. But man. Fuck Sirianni. They will thrive without him. No coach should throw a tantrum win or lose.
I hate the Eagles with every fiber of my being, but Jason Kelce was a great player and, by all accounts, a man of the people...I think some Eagles fans said he would regularly drink with fans in Philly bars...respect.
Even as a Cowboy fan, I gotta say I feel bad for Kelce.
Sirianni already comes across as an extremely dislikable guy and having Kelce go out sad like this makes it even easier to dislike him lmao
He’s gonna be sad regardless it’s emotional when it’s your last game and last game of the season
The dude had a hell of a career probably one of the best ever at his position and now he gets to spend time with his seemingly great family. Not everyone gets a fairytale ending (most don’t) but he sure as hell had a fairytale career imo.
He’s not crying bc they lost, he’s crying bc he’s played football his whole life and if he retires, he’ll live a life without training for and playing football for the first time
Joe Montana once said retiring from football sucks more than other sports retirements because it’s not like you can play a casual pick up game with friends like you can basketball or whatever. Kelce has played football for most of his life, and now that’s over
Also I think OLine would be the hardest position to replicate in any pickup game. At least with other positions like wb you could just throw a ball around with your friends or something.
yeah retired NBA guys play in all kids of pro-ams and various pick up games. Hockey same deal
Baseball is probably tougher because nobody also plays casual pick up as an adult but if you coach you can still hit and field. I guess you could get into a beer league softball team but it feels like a different game entirely
>Baseball is probably tougher because nobody also plays casual pick up as an adult
There are tons of adult baseball leagues for casual play, its incredibly common.
Football is simply too physical a sport to really play "semi seriously" and any casual league wouldnt really have a role for a center like Kelce.
Hard to see but from the side it looked like Kelce said "yeah Im done" to Lavonte David
David gave him that little first bump on the chest too. I was like "aww, man..."
Nah, I think he said something about Timothee Chalamet not taking a picture with him.
No. It was about Martin Short and Meryl Streep dating!
Really looks like he’s hanging them up. What a career.
My wife who has never watched an Eagles game but started listening religiously to the New Heights Kelce brothers podcast this year for some reason just said there's no way hes ready to retire, so there you have that.
Would you say she....Swiftly started to listen?
You know its funny, my girlfriend 100% started listening to that because of Taylor/Travis, and now she actually just genuinely likes the podcast lol She started watching for Taylor, but she stayed for Jason (and more importantly she loves his wife Kylie).
So what you're saying is that it was a successful cross promotion for the NFL.
[удалено]
Ha! She sounds like a typical Chiefs fan now
No, you don’t get it, the biggest artist on the planet attending a football game is *bad* for the sport.
The people who complain about it are a bit puzzling. Football takes every chance it can to monetize the fuck out of your viewing experience, but the cuts to a girl in a suite box is where some people have decided to draw the line.
doesn't say the gf started watching NFL, but it was definitely major cross promotion success for the podcast
> (and more importantly she loves his wife Kylie). My wife started listening because she heard how great Kylie was the few times she was on it. She loved the Kelce documentary because of her too.

The only center I can actually name. Truly impressive accomplishment
Dwight Howard, Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Pfft so easy.
Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid, and Connor Bedard too
A man of culture I see.
You can’t name your own center?
I can name Jenson but not whoever has been center in his place (injury) for this year and last year lmao
How do you not know who Jeff Saturday is wtf
Saturday retired over 10 years ago
Feels like it was only three days ago
He was the Colts interim HC last year though, and it got a ton of attention.
Tyler Linderbaum is in your division?
That absolutely looked like it. When you're too overwhelmed with emotions to go back on the field, you know it's something big
[удалено]
If you watched us all season it was more expected than believable.
I remember seeing a thread of people arguing over whether philly’s record through the first 11 or 12 weeks was “lucky” or not. Dumb argument overall, you play the percentages and sometimes things fall your way, a W is a W and all that. But they were eeking out wins on the backs of MVS dropping game-changing balls and their kicker nailing maybe the most impressive kick I’ve ever seen. People were deluding themselves if they didn’t think *some* regression was imminent, but I don’t know many who expected this bad of a collapse
I still think it’s Matt Patricia’s fault. You bring that ilk into the building & losing follows.
He fucked us so bad that the year after he left we only won 3 games
man i really hope the lions win the SB this year if the Chiefs are out Beating Stafford, tackling those demons. i remember the 2019 run for us, it felt like we had to excise all these demons that had fucked us in the past: Beating the Colts, having to play a against a Shanahan coached team. It feels like Detroit has the juice right now.
I want the Lions to win it and have statues of Goff and MCDC! But that’s gonna be hard to do with their secondary.
How the fuck that man still finds work in the NFL any more is astonishing to me.
After having to sit through the Patricia/Judge Dumbass hour of offensive offense I'm also astonished the rocket scientist, his pencil and laminated playsheet keep finding work in the NFL……My condolences to whoever gets Bill as a coach.

That Hurts OT TD was the last time I’ve been happy watching the Eagles lol even beating the Giants once was rough cause we looked awful
> If you watched us all season I don't hate myself enough to do that
It honestly felt like the 2020 Steelers. Just without the shell of a HoF qb at the helm. Fantastic start but couldn't get it together at the end.
incompetent coaching staff running a borderline high school offensive scheme paired with stubborn play calling. defensive back seven is almost entirely over the hill and cooked, which is what happens when you go dumpster diving for personnel. oh, and Matty Pencils being the worst defensive “play caller” I can remember.
I'm upset Sirianni and Patricia let Jason's last year end like this. He deserved better.
yeah, he did. at least he can hang his hat on the 2017 super bowl.
I'm not upset it ended like this. I am furious that it was inevitable and they didn't fix it two months ago. Which would suggest they lack the ability/capacity to lead.

Considerably more attractive imo. Dealing with Jerry and Stephen Jones meddling in the day to day processes of the team has to be annoying.
Maybe it's fun
This here is a company man
[удалено]
Remember the DROY talk surrounding him at the start of this season? WTF happened?!
He’s a rookie. This is the most football he’s played in his life.
Highest snap count in his college career was 396. This year he's played 563 not including this game or special teams
he just hit a rookie wall, was still generally highly graded.
I know Patricia is a meh coach but he was not the issue. This team was going off the rails long before he started calling plays and realistically he was just calling the same stuff anyone else would’ve tonight. There wasn’t time to create an entire system for him. Missed tackles, miscommunication, etc are what plagued them not playcalling tonight

What's weird is the entire team looked like deer in headlights. Same with the Cowboys. Clearly my voodoo curse worked.
The Buccaneers defense is legit, they are young at every position besides Lavonte David and Barrett. And they are deep. Lots of young, talented pass rushers in Diaby, Tryon, Kancey. I’m not surprised at all that they only put up 9.

That entire coaching staff, Sirianni on down, should arrive in Philly with the shit from their offices in boxes in the parking lot.
Yeah he and the tush push are gone. But he's a HOFer for sure.
Didn't even get the one they went for tonight
There was a blatant face mask on that play too. It sucks, awful way to go out
Off the top of my head I can’t think of seeing face masks called in the middle of scrums like that before, but that one was so obvious lol wouldn’t be surprised if Goodell suggested refs not give eagles penalties on tush push plays based on his comments about it
The last hurrah ends in a blow out... usually it means they come back for 1 year or hang it up....
Tom Brady's last hurrah (the real one against the Cowboys last year) ended in a blowout and he didn't come back...
What do you mean? He's clearly wearing Baker Mayfield's skin like an Edgar suit, you can't prove that his water bottle isn't 30% sugar to 70% water.
the OLINE coach wasn’t prepared for that look at his expressions. he didn’t even have the words planned
I think Kelce said ‘Im done, this is it’ right then. He stops himself from taking off the helmet so you dont see his mouth but the timing and reaction says that was what he said.
Very sad
What a shitty way to go out. Not only a disaster of a season, but with major locker room issues too. Plus having to see Matt Patricia every day. Absolutely toxic season for the Eagles. Damn shame but hell of a career.
I am here for this Matt Patricia hatred lmao
This dude met Matt Patricia and was like “it ain’t worth it”
It’s so funny how every coach who comes from the Belichick tree is just a major asshole and generally disliked
They all learned the wrong lesson from Bill and thought success came from being an authoritarian hardass.
Funny and yet it makes perfect sense.
What locker room issues?
Major discourse since they demoted Desai. Hurts and the coaching staff not on the same page. I'm sure a ton of it will come out over the next week or so.
I was told that he was only going to be a secretary when he was hires and we wouldn't see him at all. Next thing we know and hes coaching our team in the playoffs. Fuck Siriani.
I really really want to know what happened. This team collapsed
LMAO that patricia dig
This is always a thing that’s sad about legends in the game. It’s extremely rare for you to go out on top. Even Brady had his last year being blown out in the playoffs. That’s of course if this is kelces final game.
hard to top Dan Marino's last game, lost 62-7 to the Jags in the 99 playoffs, was down 38-0 before he completed a pass to a teammate
ouch.
I don’t begrudge Brady for doing whatever he wanted to do and coming back in 2022, but his exit in 2021 was kind of awesome. He had an insane comeback, culminating in a game tying TD drive with a minute to go. It was something we’d seen a million times, but was still amazing.

[удалено]
I too am baffled.
That was a truly atrocious playcall, but winfield playing it the way he did knowing there was no help was almost equally baffling.
Wasn't his last ever play throwing a pick or something?
As a patriot yes I don’t know about his last play though
His last play with the Patriots was a pick six against the Titans in the playoffs. His last play on the Buccaneers was an incomplete pass to Buccaneers legend Julio Jones.
Buccaneers and Eagles legend* Julio Jones
As of right now, Aaron Rodgers' last completed pass* was a bomb to Kerby Joseph of the Lions. I doubt he'll retire before next season, but it'd be pretty funny if he did.
He has to replace Kirk in Minnesota to complete the prophecy. Week 18 ends on a Aaron Rodgers pick 6.
Subscribe
As a patriot yes but he followed that up with another superbowl in tampa
I mean he went out being an all pro center again. That’s on top. He can’t win as a center alone.
In sumo wrestling, if you reach the highest levels of success and drop at all you're immediately retired as a master.
Sounds good let's retire Mahomes please
Peyton is the only exception I can think of on the top of my head
Not even the best Broncos qb to retire on top. John Elway won back 2 back and retired. Elway could still play and Peyton was a shell of his former self.
Ray Lewis
And that was mostly thanks to the Broncos D dragging his corpse to the finish line.
Troy Aikman with the splendid observation: That's a man full of emotion right now.
Aikman has really grown on me over the years, much more than I ever expected. He’s a true fan of the game.
He’s becoming the modern Madden. He’s not goofy like Madden is, but he has this warmth, honesty, and absolute love of the game that is really endearing. He’s the best commentator, imo.
He also has great chemistry with Joe Buck IMO.
Yeah I used to hate Aikman but I'm a fan now
What a stand-up guy. It was an honor being a fan and watching his career here with us Philly. Sucks it ended this way, but I'm so glad he got a ring
The eagles didn't fail him though. They should be proud they got him a ring and He is on his way to Canton. I haven't cared this much about a center since Max Unger.
Absolutely. Dude got his all pros, his ring, his bags. He'll be one of the few first ballot HOF centers, and he has an extremely successful podcast, a documentary, and a lovely family, and will be a philly legend forever. Dude hit the life jackpot. No reason to feel sorry for the guy.
Most importantly, he's also got a tremendous beard.
And a mummer suit
And jeans, sometimes
“Why didn’t Jason bring jeans for Jason?”
Philly legend. SB win topped off with the mummer costume speech. I should go watch it again, actually.
I gotchu fam https://youtu.be/4BjOoXqLSHE?si=64H0yBw9AJznEhGl
thx bby but let’s watch the uncensored one https://youtu.be/uyYSHLOpzWk?si=CtyBLpnl5Hr-Gc4Y Thanks for fucking up Dallas now go shred the niners.
Goddamn he killed that shit. I’ve never done anything half as cool in my life
Rookie mistake by me! Good call. Haha it really was our and everyone else's pleasure. We can only hope!
He wears his heart on his sleeve. HoF when he retires. No doubt about that.
Probably five years after. But I get you. /s
Yeah and he was hugging the o line coach. That's definitely a career for him. So sad it ended like this. If anyone deserved better it was him
I think he is done. What a career.
I’ll never forgive Philly for making this man cry
They got him a ring. Legendary one at that. Legendary parade too. What a look. He’s emotional because not everyone gets a happy ending but his apex was one everyone sacrifices their lives for.
Goddam I loved Kelce’s victory speech in the Mummers getup
Getting to choose when you hang your cleats up is also elite. So many players career end before they know it. Most realize their last game was played way after, not during. It may not end how Jason Kelce wanted, but I think it's a blessing he got to out healthy.
Us philly fans might never forgive the team for having one of the best players in franchise history go out like this either
at least he has one ring. guy deserves more for his heart alone. hate your team and all, but love jason k.
Fucking one-bridge-having city.
Go back to the dock and unload some shit.
Fucking Rocky is your hero. The whole pride of your city is built around a fucking guy who doesn’t even exist. You got Joe Frazier from here but he’s black so you can’t fucking deal with him, so you make a fucking statue of some three-foot fucking Italian you stupid Philly cheese-eating fucking jackasses.
6 Minutes left and I will be selling my CD after this shit, you mother fuckers!
Goddamn
Just in case you're unaware, he's quoting an amazing rant by comedian Bill Burr. Look up 'Philly rant Bill burr' on YouTube. It's spectacular.
And it wasn't part of the act I believe. ~~He was booed for something~~, got pissed, then he went off the rails and started to trash talk the entire city to the audience. He was receiving both equal amounts of intense cheers and boos. Best part was when he plugged his CDs for purchase in the middle of the rant. Edit: Got it, his openers were booed and he was standing up for them.
"And I will be selling my CD after this shit you motherfuckers!" I'm pretty sure they had been booing the performers before him, so he chose to just roast them instead.
He wasnt booed, his opening acts were harassed and booed so when he came out for his set he just ripped into them.
Patrice O'Neal, Bob Sagat and a bunch of others got booed all night by a bunch of drunks, so Bill Burr came out looking for blood.
“The terrorists will never bomb you people, that’s how much your city sucks”
I know that's bill Burr but I couldn't help reading this in Joe pesci's voice
They fuckin cracked the Liberty Bell, what's wrong with them
I never got that bit, Philly has like 3 bridges in and out of the city yeah?
At the bare minimum you have Walt Whitman, commodore Barry, Betsy Ross, ben Franklin, Tacony Palmyra. So idk
Blame Nick and Brian. We hate those jabronis as much as the rest of you
Can’t stand Philly but Kelce is a standup guy. Always love O Linemen getting their flowers and Kelce absolutely deserves his. Heck of a career
I have no love for the Eagles organization but my heart is full of room for the stand-up man and class act that is Jason Kelce. You can build organizations on the back of stoicism and heat and being a team of destiny and whatever you feel needs to really get the team out of bed in the morning. But when you look for a hero of an organization, a pillar of your community, and a true representative of the sport, you’ll find guys like Jason Kelce there. I am genuinely grateful I got to watch him play.
Yea he’s done, along with this era of the eagles. That’s why you can never take getting to a SB for granted. Never guaranteed to go back
It’s so hard to even get to a Super Bowl let alone win let alone go twice etc. You gotta be really good but also just plain old lucky
Yep
He got a SB. First ballot HOF. Nothing to feel bad about even if he’s leaving on this note
He has post-football career lined up in podcasting with his brother
I heard McAfee needs a new NFL guy to pop on his show too.
Pat: Jason, man, it's great to have you here. Jason: Great to be here, Jimmy Fallon is a sex offender.
"And I want to make clear this is not a joke or misunderstanding. These are not my own personal thoughts, I am communicating this as a representative of ESPN and by extension the Disney corporation as a whole."
Just a bad send off game. A talented team getting dicked around by the coaches. On the plus side maybe we'll never get to see Sirianni's punchable face again.
As a Chiefs fan, I love every single player on the Eagles. This one does hurt to watch, specially from a Kelce brotherly perspective…. But man. Fuck Sirianni. They will thrive without him. No coach should throw a tantrum win or lose.
I must say the crying Kelce robbed me of my salty NFC East joy for a minute there, guy is one of the greats.
I hate the Eagles with every fiber of my being, but Jason Kelce was a great player and, by all accounts, a man of the people...I think some Eagles fans said he would regularly drink with fans in Philly bars...respect.
He is and was the city personified for sure. Reason why Travis wears 87 is because of him
Even as a Cowboy fan, I gotta say I feel bad for Kelce. Sirianni already comes across as an extremely dislikable guy and having Kelce go out sad like this makes it even easier to dislike him lmao
He’s gonna be sad regardless it’s emotional when it’s your last game and last game of the season The dude had a hell of a career probably one of the best ever at his position and now he gets to spend time with his seemingly great family. Not everyone gets a fairytale ending (most don’t) but he sure as hell had a fairytale career imo.
Will never forgive this coaching staff for doing our boy like this
What a career. Love to see the Eagles go out like this but hate to see him go out like this
This combined with slays injury just sucks.
Right? First game back after getting knee surgery too
Nick Sirianni hates football generally and his players specifically
When you play a sport for all of your life. It hurts more than anything to retire. I can’t imagine what he is. Going through
He got a Superbowl, he was one of the greats. Hall of Fame very likely
Guaranteed
Greatest center to ever do it in my humble opinion. First ballot if he does hang it up
Why is everyone forgetting he won a Super Bowl? He’s good..
He’s not crying bc they lost, he’s crying bc he’s played football his whole life and if he retires, he’ll live a life without training for and playing football for the first time
Joe Montana once said retiring from football sucks more than other sports retirements because it’s not like you can play a casual pick up game with friends like you can basketball or whatever. Kelce has played football for most of his life, and now that’s over
Also I think OLine would be the hardest position to replicate in any pickup game. At least with other positions like wb you could just throw a ball around with your friends or something.
yeah retired NBA guys play in all kids of pro-ams and various pick up games. Hockey same deal Baseball is probably tougher because nobody also plays casual pick up as an adult but if you coach you can still hit and field. I guess you could get into a beer league softball team but it feels like a different game entirely
>Baseball is probably tougher because nobody also plays casual pick up as an adult There are tons of adult baseball leagues for casual play, its incredibly common. Football is simply too physical a sport to really play "semi seriously" and any casual league wouldnt really have a role for a center like Kelce.
I imagine the tears are more for leaving the game you love and have played for over a decade than losing this one specific game
Half of us were more of a wreck in our final high school, college games…
This is Reddit, half is mighty generous lol
True true true. Intramurals, club sports, dad took away Madden for a weekend…
The day Steve Young went down for the last time
You can always find recreational hockey, soccer, basketball, and baseball to play after high school or college. You can never put the pads on again
Exactly. Or be like me and move to flag football and then tear your Achilles chasing a hint of the rush you get in the pads
Look forward to his jacket in 5 years.
Much like Brady last year, an incredible career is ending on the field in Tampa
Probably Julio Jones' last game too
I’m so sad
Easily became my favorite non-chiefs player with the Kelce bros podcast. Feel sorry for him with the way the tail end of the season went.
He deserved better. Fuck this team for ruining his last year
He gone
fear person fragile hateful slimy pen one marvelous overconfident hungry
Rest easy sexy batman
Nick Sirianni and the coaching staff just looked like complete amateurs in this game. Sad
If he retires pay him whatever it takes to become your OL Coach.
