National media reaction to Eagles’ All-Pro Jason Kelce announcing his retirement

We’re looking at the national reaction to Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center Jason Kelce announcing his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons

In what can only be described as the most eloquent and passionate retirement speech you’ll ever hear, Jason Kelce has walked away from the NFL after 13 seasons.

A sixth-round draft pick out of the University of Cincinnati in 2011, Kelce started and played in 193 games over his 13 seasons.

Jason Kelce is the fifth center in NFL history with at least six All-Pro selections. The other four — Jim Otto, Bulldog Turner, Dermotti Dawson, and Jim Ringo — are all in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

With the Eagles officially moving into another era, here’s the national media reaction to Kelce’s announcement.

America reacts to Jason Kelce going shirtless in Buffalo after Travis Kelce’s touchdown

Jason Kelce’s sihrtless, beer-soaked celebration following brother Travis’s touchdown against the Bills was an all-time athletic moment.

Future Hall of Fame center Jason Kelce has a lot of free time since his Philadelphia Eagles were bounced out of the postseason in the wild-card round, so what better way to fill the time than going up to Orchard Park, New York and watching his brother Travis play tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs? Travis was dealing with the Buffalo Bills’ defense at Highmark Stadium, and he scored a 22-yard touchdown with 3:33 left in the first half.

Jason Kelce went nuts at that point… not that he hadn’t been involved in a little pre-funk. Because when you can shoot beer out of a bowling ball at a Bills tailgate, that’s a must.

So, when Travis scored his touchdown, Jason went a bit off-script.

As you would expect, America had a lot to say about all of this.
