Jason Kelce Gives Update Retirement From NFL. “Officially Announce RETURN to his Eagles’ Team”

Jason Kelce addressed his ongoing contemplation about his possible retirement from the NFL during an appearance on Dana Carvey and David Spade’s Fly on the Wall podcast.

Rumors began swirling about the Philadelphia Eagles center’s retirement decision in January. Although reports emerged after the Eagles’ season-ending game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that he told his teammates he was leaving the game, the NFL player later walked those rumors back, telling fans he hadn’t yet made a decision.

In the weeks since, the father-of-three watched his younger brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, advance with his team to play in—and ultimately win—Super Bowl LVIII. The game came one year after the Kelce brothers played each other in the 2023 Super Bowl, a game the Chiefs also won.

During their podcast recording earlier this week, Carvey described reading about the “adrenaline rush” and “camaraderie” that come with being a professional football player. When Jason decides to retire, Carvey said he should consider exploring work in show business, which he described as an “emotionally violent sport.” Carvey suggested the intensity of show business was thus comparable to that of football.

Garth Brooks Says He’ll ‘Send a Plane’ to Travis Kelce So He Can Sing ‘Friends in Low Places’ at His Bar Opening

If you want to come sing that, I’ll send a plane… You can come by yourself or bring your brother or your gang,” Brooks told Kelce.

Ahead of Brooks’ Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk opening in Nashville on Mar. 7, he reached out to Kelce, 34, after seeing his performance of the 1990 hit at the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2024 Super Bowl victory parade.

At the Feb. 14 event, Kelce grabbed the microphone and attempted to sing Brooks’ song, much to the country crooner’s delight.

Did you guys see Travis Kelce’s version of ‘Friends in Low Places?’ Did you see him sing this? I loved it, I thought it was fantastic,” Brooks said during the latest episode of his Inside Studio G podcast on Tuesday.

It blew me away because I’m sitting there watching it as it’s going down, right? I never expected that,” he added.

Brooks said he wasn’t planning on attending his bar’s upcoming opening but would go if a certain Kansas City Chiefs tight end were to show up.

“Big man, I’m just telling you this. I will be at [the] grand opening if you’re there,” Brooks told Kelce.

“I’ll send a plane if you want and come and get another shot at the title. If you want to come sing that, I’ll send a plane,” he continued.

“You can come by yourself or bring your brother or your gang, whatever you want to do. The plane holds 11, just remember that. So, yes, I’ll be happy to send this invite out to you if you want to try a little ‘Friends in Low Places’ in Friends in Low Places.”
