Jason Kelce is the man! That is it. That is your lead. Sure, you already know this, but the statement never loses its impact. Jason Kelce could slap one of our senior family members, and we’d most likely feel he was acting inappropriately. Oh come on! Don’t pretend you don’t feel the same way.
It appears that we should not make such statements just because the future Pro Football Hall of Famer participated in a children’s game in a football-crazed community. The G.O.A.T. is a separate breed, however. He and Brian Dawkins are the most popular Philadelphia Eagles that have ever worn the uniform.
Still, one is the strong silent type who evolved into a superhero. The other is the people’s hero. The latter is also the author of the most memorable speech in Super Bowl victory parade history.
Fletcher Cox says Mr. Kelce could run for mayor of Philadelphia if he wanted to (and win). The G.O.A.T. may have other objectives, including a media takeover.
Jason Kelce has visited with two television networks, possibly to discuss employment, and it looks that three others are also interested.
While there has been no indication on whether Jason Kelce will retire, it appears that he is already planning his life beyond football. He just accomplished something he hadn’t done since the NFL Combine. He went to a few job interviews.
According to Front Office Sports, he has visited with ESPN and Fox to discuss pursuing a career in television. Later that day, The New York Post issued its own report. Amazon, NBC, and CBS appear to be interested as well.
We should’ve known. He has shone when given the opportunity. We’ve seen him in everything from his incredibly successful New Heights podcast with younger brother Travis to the recent Season 3 premiere of Abbott Elementary. He’s also tried his hand as an analyst on the NFL Network and Amazon Prime’s Thursday Night Football.
First things first, though. Everyone eagerly awaits his retirement decision. One thing is certain. Whatever happens with his TV career, he will never have to pay for a beer in the City of Brotherly Love again.
