Former Philadelphia Eagles and future Hall of Fame center Jason Kelce has transitioned into a media role, a job that he’s already become a powerhouse in. Between his podcast, New Heights, with his brother, Travis, and his deal with ESPN, he’s all over in the sports media world.
On Monday, he made his regular-season debut on NFL’s Monday Night Countdown to much fanfare and praise. But, one viral comment in particular stood out as classic Jason Kelce.
The Kelce brothers, especially Jason, have made a brand out of being pretty unfiltered. And, that’s exactly what he was on Monday’s broadcast live from San Francisco prior to the 49ers-Jets game.
It was revealed by ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt that Jason Kelce forgot the shirt he was going to wear for the broadcast, so he had to buy a new shirt for the show. While Kelce has lost considerable weight from his playing days, the shirt that he bought was not quite adequate to cover all of his body parts.

“It fits my belly, I’ve lost a little bit of weight, but my t*** are still struggling,” Jason Kelce said.
That’s a classic Jason Kelce line if I’ve ever heard one. He’s adapting to the media personality role in his first season out of the league just fine.
