Jason Kelce Reacts to Eagles Fan's Absurd Gesture
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources.
Though his time with the franchise has come to an end, Jason Kelce is still a beloved figure within the Philadelphia Eagles fan base. On Thursday afternoon, the longtime center reacted to one person's shocking tribute to him.
Eagles fans have a reputation for being a passionate and rowdy bunch when it comes to their football team. This was on full display on social media, as one supporter went to extreme levels to showcase their love for the team.
In a video that has quickly gone viral online, one Eagles fan decided to honor Kelce with a tattoo. However, it isn't anything like one would expect. Kelce is shirtless in the depiction and has the Eagles logo head coming out from between his legs.
As the tattoo quickly started making the rounds on social media, it garnered a reaction from Kelce as well. He is rather stunned by the gesture and doesn't really know how to feel about the whole situation.

When the Eagles drafted Kelce in the sixth round of the 2011 draft, nobody expected him to become such a foundational piece of the franchise. He'd go on to be a key part of the offense as one of the NFL's top centers. Kelce was also among the league's most durable linemen in his career, playing in at least 16 games in 11 of his 13 seasons. Upon retirement, Kelce finished his career with seven Pro-Bowl nominations, six All-Pro selections, and is a one-time champion.
After helping deliver the Eagles a championship in 2017, Kelce hung around for years in hopes of getting back to the mountaintop. He came close to going out on top but ended up falling short against his brother Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Not long after his retirement, the Eagles managed to get back to the game's biggest stage and got revenge on Patrick Mahomes and company.
While his playing days might be over, Kelce will forever be adored by Eagles fans. This situation is a testament to that, as fans are still more than willing to get tattoos done of him.
Since walking away as a player, Kelce has found different ways to stay around the game of football. He quickly transitioned into an on-screen career as an NFL analyst for ESPN. When he isn't giving his football takes and insights on TV, he is doing so via his viral "New Heights" podcast with Travis.

Rams sign veteran OT amidst Alaric Jackson's health concerns
The Los Angeles Rams signed veteran OT DJ Humphries yesterday. Humphries was a first round selection by the Arizona Cardinals in 2025 and played for the Kansas City Chiefs last season. At first glance the Humphries signing seemed to be a depth-shoring move. That perspective seemed to shift on Friday with reports that blood clotting issues have resurfaced with starting left tackle Alaric Jackson—who signed a three-year, $57M deal with the Rams this offseason. Advertisement Jackson's bout with blood clots first surfaced during his sophomore season in 2022. He played in eight games with six starts before sitting out the remainder of the year. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, 'the belief is he'll play in 2025' and 'there are still questions'. While the starters along the offensive line seem stout for Los Angeles, Rob Havenstein and Jackson at tackles introduce layers of uncertainty with their injury history. The Rams will need to do all they can to keep Matthew Stafford upright during the final stage of his career, and missing a tackle out of the starting lineup could potentially derail their Super Bowl aspirations.

Paulson Adebo ready to be aggressive, 'do everything' for New York Giants
Paulson Adebo ready to be aggressive, 'do everything' for New York Giants The New York Giants signed free agent cornerback Paulson Adebo this offseason to fill several needs. First, to give them a marquee corner to pair with former first-rounder Deonte Banks, and second, to add leadership to a very young secondary, even though he's just 25 himself. Both head coach Brian Daboll and defensive coordinator Shane Bowen have been pleased with Adebo thus far in the offseason program as he rehabs from a broken leg that shortened his season last year with New Orleans. "Great, pro, comes to work every day, practices hard, makes plays on the football, he's long. We've seen that more than a few times out here, whether it's picking a pass off, whether it's getting a PBU, not afraid to challenge," Bowen said last week. "I think just for that room, a relatively younger room, I think he's been an asset in there as well, just the experience, the knowledge... Again, like coming in we have high expectations for him and part of that was the leadership role. Like we're expecting you to come in here and take on that role and thrive in that role and hopefully continue to help us to develop some of these younger guys." Adebo is ready to take up the challenge of leading the young group and is also looking forward to creating turnovers. Bowen has installed a "turnover chest" and is throwing down the gauntlet to his players to fill it this season. "Super cool," Adebo said to reporters this week in regards to the turnover chest. "You know, I'm happy and excited to try to get a lot of turnovers and hopefully I can put a lot of balls in there." Adebo adds an extra dimension to this defense and is fully aware of his abilities as well as his role with the Giants. "A really aggressive corner," he said when asked to describe his skillset. "Ball production, tackles, I feel like just a complete corner overall. "I like to do everything. Aggressive, zone scheme, man scheme. I feel like I can adapt to kind of everything and game situation, playmaking, matchups. So, I feel like I could do everything. " And the Giants just might all on him to do all of those things.

How social media reacted to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce taking in Panthers-Oilers Stanley Cup final
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a date night that made headlines this week. The couple was spotted attending Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Edmonton Oilers against the Florida Panthers, in Florida. This isn't the first time the pair have attended a sporting event together. In October, the musical artist and NFL player were seen together at Game 1 of the American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium. The dynamic duo also attended the U.S. Open tennis tournament in September. Social media was quick to react to the duo being at the hockey game together. The official NHL X account posted multiple times about the couple's attendance of the game, using deep-cut Swiftie references. The Panthers' official account even used a Swift lyric reference to remark on the team's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers. But not all hockey fans were thrilled by the amount of times the camera panned to the chatty Swift and Kelce throughout the game, sometimes even during pivotal game-time moments. Despite some of the backlash, Swift was captured taking selfies with fans, some even wearing her merch at the game. Swift recently had a big win herself — she bought back control of all her master recordings and now owns her entire music catalogue, music videos, concert films and her entire life's work. Shortly after, Kelce gave her a shoutout for the accomplishment on his podcast 'New Heights.' 'Shout out to Tay Tay,' Kelce said, per E! News. 'Just bought all of her music back so it's finally hers.'
