Jason Kelce has been having a tough day today. The Philadelphia Eagles legend found himself in a rough spot on ESPN’s College GameDay, alongside host Pat McAfee.
Jason decided to attend a college game on Saturday between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Penn State Nittany Lions in Week 10 of the 2024 college football season.
Pat McAfee Does Jason Kelce Dirty
Jason took part in a field-goal challenge on the College GameDay show—only to have things go wildly off course. While his reputation as a skilled offensive lineman precedes him, Travis Kelce’s older brother quickly discovered that kicking isn’t exactly his strong suit.
However, not one to chicken out, Jason put forth his best effort. However, the kicks veered dramatically to the left, missing the goal post.
The scene provided plenty of laughs, especially for McAfee, who seemed to be enjoying Jason’s failed attempts to the fullest. “This guy sucks!,” McAfee claimed as Kelce’s kicks went astray.

Another interesting aspect that made the situation even more amusing was that the one-time Eagles center took on the challenge wearing Timberland boots.
Laughs and misses aside, the kicking challenge had a meaningful purpose. It aims to raise funds for hurricane relief. While Kelce couldn’t get his mojo going, the organizers confirmed that donations would still be made. So, while the kicks didn’t land, the cause scored big.
Kelce himself took it all in stride. “I’ve got a whole new respect… I suck at kicking, okay!” he said.

Looks like the older Kelce needs a bit of practice if he’s to kick a football in a desired direction.
Jason Breaks Phone of Fan Who Insulted Travis Kelce
Jason is a proud older brother for sure. When a fan verbally abused his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, the Eagles great lost it.
With Jason arriving arriving at the Beaver Stadium in Pennsylvania for the Penn State – Ohio State game, one fan tried to get under his skin by throwing homophobic slurs at Travis because of his relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift.
What Jason did next was unexpected. He snatched the phone from the fan and slammed it right at the floor with all his might. Have a look at the incident:
“Kelce how does it feel that your brother is a f****t for dating Taylor Swift?”
Jason Kelce proceeded to slam this kids phone on the ground.
Looked like a Penn State student was getting in Kelce’s face for no reason. Wild scene in State College pic.twitter.com/3PEdZXWhSg
