In case you haven’t noticed, the Kelce brothers happen to be in the headlines quite a bit these days.
When Travis isn’t busy jetting around the globe with girlfriend Taylor Swift, he’s busy preparing for the upcoming season where he and the Kansas City Chiefs will attempt to pull off a historic Super Bowl three-peat.
Meanwhile, older brother Jason is trying to enjoy his retirement – But as we just found out, that’s not always as easy as it sounds…
Regardless, it was quite an emotional scene earlier this offseason when Jason decided to announce his retirement.
A lock for the Hall of Fame, you could make the argument that Jason stepped away from football while at the top of his game.
Even at this very second, there probably isn’t a better center walking the planet.
Another reason why the Kelce brothers are often in the news is because of their ultra-popular “New Heights” podcast.
It’s an entertaining podcast where virtually nothing is off-limits.
One of the topics the brothers recently discussed was Jason’s upcoming venture into the broadcasting world.
Set to join ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown this coming season, Jason expects a flawless transition into the analyst chair.
However, he did admit that it’s going to be a challenge to discuss his old rivals, the Dallas Cowboys…
“I have no bias … I just don’t like them,” Jason stated.
“But I’m gonna give them their props. There’s a rivalry, but the reality is, even though I hate the Cowboys’ fanbase…I was at a charity golf outing, and there was a kid, and he was like, ‘Hey, I’m a Cowboys fan.’ I was like, ‘Oh, are you from Dallas?’ And he said, ‘No, I’m from Philadelphia.’
“Are you a Lakers and a Yankees fan, too? Like, what are we doing? We’re just picking whatever team we want; that’s where we’re at?”
This is when Travis interjected and pointed out that Jason rooted for the Pittsburgh Steelers as a kid, despite growing up in Cleveland.
“I had to; we didn’t have a team,” Jason responded.
“We lost our team. The next closest team was the Pittsburgh Steelers, geographically, and I loved Jerome Bettis. I couldn’t keep being a Browns fan when they went to be the Ravens.
“There wasn’t a team to root for, Travis… the moment the Browns came back, I got a Tim Couch jersey, and I was rocking Tim Couch. I still loved Jerome Bettis, but I was no longer a Steelers fan once the Browns came back.”
The Eagles-Cowboys rivalry may be the most intense and heated in the entire NFL.
Having said that, Jason is confident that he’ll still be able to call it like he sees it without any bias.
“I’ll be able to set aside my differences as a player and the competition,” he stated.
Jason also shared some very interesting thoughts on Tom Brady’s infamous “Deflategate” scandal while he was quarterback of the New England Patriots.
“I don’t even think Tom should have got in trouble for deflating footballs,” Jason said.
“I’m pro-deflating footballs. I’ll say it. I’ll say it. I am pro-deflating footballs … He outsmarted people. Why the f*ck does it matter how much air is in that motherf*cker??? If you’re throwing it and catching it, who the f*ck cares?
“We’re all mad because he had the common sense to f*cking take a little air out so the receivers could catch the f*cking thing? Why is that against the rules? You all could have taken the air out, too.
“You guys could have taken the air out, too. You just weren’t smart enough. So why am I getting penalized because you’re f*cking dummies? … It’s a rule, but it’s a stupid rule, though.”
What are your thoughts on Kelce’s comments?
First of all, do you think he’ll be able to keep his clear Cowboy-hatred out of his analysis?
Then, how do you feel about his thoughts on Deflategate? … Do you agree that it really wasn’t that big of a deal?
Most importantly, how do you feel about the Kelce brothers as a whole???
