Press conference is going live now. Travis and both parents are in attendance.

Saw 'Kelce' and 'Retires' and my heart jumped for a second

For a few seconds, I considered titling the thread "Kelce Retires," but I'm not that cruel. Plus, I'm pretty sure I'd have to take away my thread privs. ROFL

More time to watch his bro play ball in the Chiefs luxury box w/ T-swift.

Aww, he's crying before he even starts. You have to love the guy's passion.

Heck of a player for sure. Watching him and Travis has been special.

Now looking for full-time designated driver. :)

Dude is literally crying more than talking. I respect that.

LMAO

I like it when players of his caliber have a press conference to make the retirement announcement official rather than just a social media statement.

Respect to Jason. Well earned retirement for the future HoF'er.

I look forward to the Jason Kelce sightings at Chiefs tailgates next season.

I wouldn't want to back to that disaster in Philly either.

Again? Thought he retired a month ago

No. I think Schefter published that but Kelce refuted it on New Heights that week. Said he needed time to process.

You can always come out here and be an offensive line assistant for us man, have Andy Heck and Big Red get your coaching career jump started the right way.

No way he can unretire after this press conference. Respect the passion. Good look going forward #62!

Wait, when Kelce says "biggest dick on the team" did he mean himself or Nick Foles?

That joke about Doug Pedersen gets me every time.

Big Dick Nick.

Respect.

"I won't forget falling short to the Chiefs"

:deevee:

Great. Let the Sirianni-bashing stories flow. Thanks in advance Jason.

Jason really crying big time. Jason earned this.

Pretty crazy that 50k+ people are watching a player press conference in the middle of a Monday afternoon. I wish there was an objective way to measure the collective love of a player across the NFL - Jason has to be up there in the top of all time.

He’ll be able to easily get any TV/media job of his choice.

Will be the first time a media personality is contractually allowed to wear overalls and sleeveless shirts in the booth.

No wonder he's just now getting around to doing this. The speech alone must have taken weeks to wright.

4'8" Darren Sproles. LMAO

Yeah...you're probably write about that.

I'd like to blame voice to text but I actually typed that.

"That's all I got."

Somehow a fitting way to end it.

I knew Travis had a brother in the league, it wasn't until recently I learned he was a total ****ing beast. Didn't know how cool he was until the podcast, you can tell why everyone revered him. A total class act.

Grats on retirement, Jason.

Trav gets to call Sirianni a bitch to his face.

I don’t think a C has ever been a first ballot HOF. Pretty confident Jason Kelce will be

"yeah i saw your band floppin' around on stage like a bunch of wounded ducks"

"when you gonna learn brother? you just can't **** with a kelce"

Eagles just lost their secret weapon for the Tush Push.

He'll be a Chief in 2024 if Creed Humphrey suffers a season ending injury.

With cooler full of beer in tow.

Great speech, you could really gleam what makes the Kelce brothers tick and why they are so good.

He literally means the "Biggest Dick" and then said Sirianni had the Biggest Balls to call it... LMAO

or even a guard. I hope he stays in shape...

Move Creed to LG to replace Thuney, sign Jason, sign cap casualty Tyreek Hill, 4th straight Super Bowl. Dream team.

Now I can post all the hateful things I want about the eagles and not feel like I’m shitting on Jason! Nice!!!

This just in fox just fired Tom Brady and now trying to hire Jason Kelce when asked why fox says Tom Brady is a prick. Jason is funny and whimsical. Also we might meet Taylor.

The guy is an absolute class act. Probably my favorite non Chiefs player of all time.

Knowing Jason’s character I have a feeling he knew right after the eagles loss he was finished. Not even debatable for him even though he pretended like he was seriously considering another year. But he didn’t want to give red meat to the media blaming the eagles locker room culture. And he didn’t want to take the spotlight away from Travis during the Super Bowl run.

Not a coincidence that he chose this timing to make the announcement. And not surprising he made that choice with class.

I tried to watch, but I couldn't make it farther than a few minutes.

I don't know why, but things like this, seeing someone I like, being so torn up, and emotional, makes me emotional. I just couldn't keep watching.

I know he is probably going to a Fox studio show, because of the NFC, but I wish he would join ESPN or FS1.

Man, wouldn't he be a great addition to First Things First? Hopefully we would never have to see or listen to the human equivalent of white milk, known as Mangini, ever again. Unfortunately, apparently Nick and Mangini are so close they watched the SB together.

what a good guy. was hoping he’d play a year with Travis before calling it quits. Kudos to Reid for discovering the Kelce brothers.

He's being setup for Siranni's mid-season replacement(SaurdayII)

this guy just emits passion


thats what it takes to get so far in football


love it


great career

Great career, legend. Looking forward to hearing you talk football for years to come.

I hope he takes a year off and becomes an offensive line coach for us.

Preparing to be a baby machine?

He really really really cares for Andy, sharing the story of when Andy's son passed away and the role he played in both he and his brother's lives was above a beyond a thank you.

I’m not crying, you are. Some brotherly love

ROFL

Would fit in any era of the NFL. Can you imagine him playing for Dick Vermeil?
He should be on the NFL "how to be a pro football player" committee

Networks changed last year. They all cover both conferences now.

Favorite non Chiefs player and I bet alot of other people would say the same

First ballot Hofer. One of the very best to ever play the position. One of the very best football players in NFL history. And a truly awesome human being. Damn, I'm going to miss watching him play.

Congratulations on a fantastic career, Jason. We're all going to miss seeing you on the field, sir.

Football is about the only sport that once your competitive time is over, whether that be HS, College or at a Pro level, you are done. You can never truly play the game again. YOu can play flag, but it's not even close. Most other sports, baseball, basketball, golf, tennis, volleyball, even wrestling and track you can compete with a similar structure. It was one of the saddest days in my life when I was done playing in college.

I wouldn't be surprised if CBS tried to get him for their pregame show, apparently the only guy they still have under contract is James Brown.

I feel bad that the dude couldn’t have gotten another ring a year when we weren’t there.

He seems really sad about something.

If it's about retirement, can't he come and play for the Chiefs for a season or two?

I got neg rep for a funny joke about Jason for real?

Unless it was from someone like Rain Man, consider it a permanent reminder that someone is a lil bitch.

Didn't take long for him to find a new gig.

He should head to Mike Florios house and shit on his porch on the way.

No offense to the Kelce family, but I really don't have it in me to give any semblance of ****s for a former Eagles center.

I'll never understand people who go out of their way to tell others how much they don't care about things.

It's so heartbreaking, too. I think most of us post on this site just hoping seamonster will care. But he never does.

Well I don't care that you don't understand.

Thanks for letting me know!

Imagine being a Bills fan, knowing you will never escape the Kelces and this is your new Hell on Earth
