Guess who’s making a touchdown at ESPN? It’s none other than Jason Kelce!
After bidding farewell to his NFL career just a couple of months back, the 36-year-old former Philadelphia Eagles center has scored himself a spot on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” pregame show, according to insiders who spilled the beans to The Atlantic.
Come this fall, Jason will be gracing our screens on ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” show, bringing his unique charm and undoubtedly some memorable moments.
Now, before you start planning your Monday night popcorn sessions in anticipation, let’s address the elephant in the room: neither Jason nor ESPN has made an official announcement about this new gig. But hey, who needs official announcements when the rumor mill is buzzing with excitement, right?
Flashback to March 4, when Jason dropped the retirement bombshell after a whopping 13 seasons with the Eagles. And boy, did he leave with a bang! In his emotional retirement speech, he didn’t just talk about touchdowns and tackles. No, no. He delved into the deep, emotional bond he shares with his younger brother Travis Kelce over sports.
Picture this: two brothers, inseparable since the dawn of time, or at least since they could walk without tripping over their own feet. They did everything together — from competing and fighting to laughing, crying, and occasionally learning from each other. They were like a dynamic duo, inventing games, envisioning themselves as sports legends, and racking up imaginary Super Bowl victories in their minds before breakfast.
And when they weren’t busy dreaming of gridiron glory, you could bet your last dollar they were cheering each other on from the sidelines, probably heckling the referees too.
So, while we wait for the official word from Jason and ESPN about his new role, let’s raise a toast to sibling rivalries, imaginary championships, and the hilarious antics that surely lie ahead on “Monday Night Countdown.” Cheers to you, Jason Kelce, may your touchdown dances be as epic as your retirement speeches!
