He’s been a growing celeb with his podcast for a few years now. He didn’t come out of nowhere.


They started it at the beginning of last season (Sept 2022). It was an entertaining podcast that grew and grew because both brothers have big personalities. But the thing that made it explode was both Philly and KC having great seasons and reaching the Super Bowl. Jason also had the Amazon show he was filming last season as well come out ahead of this season. Had they both not made the Super Bowl I don't know if either would be as big of celebs as they are. Just perfect timing for both guys to be on really good team.

Jason is "old" in football years, but not in life. The podcast will probably continue to do well and he could likely jump into a broadcasting booth very soon if he wanted to do that. Hell, Greg Olsen is Fox's number 1 guy. While professional, he's pretty boring. Romo is more entertaining on CBS

Can someone please explain the apparent hate some here seem to have for Jason Kelce?

I can understand a dislike for his brother.





i think it's association with his brother more than anything.

from what i can tell, Jason's been a pretty stand up guy. i hear a bit more profanity than i would care for, but that's a personal hangup of mine.

Travis has always been an idiot and and acted the fool, so when Travis' boat started being lifted, they associated him with it. Especially after they played in a Super Bowl with each other and then even worse after Taylor Swift.


ETA: and i do agree with the above, that being a douchebag is not the worst sin in the NFL. Gronk was a douchebag and most of the board likes him.

Much like my dislike for Taylor Swift herself, I prefer her to Cardi B, Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, Lizzo, etc.

Shilling for Pfizer is the worst thing I can say about TK.

I can't understand the hate for either. Travis and Taylor can't help the cameras being pointed at them. They have been fairly quiet about their relationship despite constantly being stalked and asked about it.


Jason absolutely seems cool as hell, and they seem like a fantastic family



...oh its because Travis is sponsored by pfizer...big deal, they probably offered him a killer amount of money.

and I guess Taylor is hated because of the one clip of her with her parents where she said she didnt like trump...Big deal its a free country. When an artist says FJB you guys don't get bent out of shape. Meaning its cool when its against the guy you hate, but not when its against the guy you love.

100%. On the field he's changed the way center is played and goes down as an all-time great at the position. Off the field he seems like a down to earth family man

honestly Kylie seems really cool. The fact her fandom goes beyond Jason is cool. The way she supports him but also keeps him in check.

I know Taylor is the Famous icon apart of the family, but when you see the girl picking up trash in her suite, taking time for kids, spending time with Donna...I think she is going to fit into the family really well. I also partly expect her to break from touring for a while after this album

Nothing but respect for Jason. Seems like an awesome guy and I hope he has a long, healthy (relative with his injuries) retirement. I have no idea how he played another season after watching that documentary. Cannot imagine the shape his body is right now.

I find it interesting that so many here don't want to see/hear about Swift but in a topic about Jason several bring her up. She has zero to do with Jason retiring so follow your own advice if you can't stand her.

i'm not on the TK hate train, but Pfizer got millions of our tax dollars for a faulty product and then they turn around and pay him with our money to tell us to go use their faulty product.

i know Travis doesn't think about it that way, but i do.

i just view it as dumb and taking an easy paycheck and feeling like he's doing good, but i don't view him with contempt for it.

Maybe he should consult with his future sister in law first.

So are Andy Reid and Mahomes but that doesn't make me like them any less. Hell, look at Nick Saban.

Are they? She has made comments hinting the opposite saying "I just go to the games to support Travis" . In her chads, brads,dads comments she mentions she has no clue when the nfl network are putting her on the screen. It would be frustrating to be blamed for something she has no control over. People call her cringey for participating in the same things the crowd is, and cheering for her BF. She has life made with the money she has made, zero doubt about that...but imagine every move you make being criticized. Its incredibly unfair to blame her for what the network has created

She also has been critical of conservative Christian’s, which I think offended a lot of people.
