Former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce found himself in an unusual situation on Sunday night as his former team faced off against his brother and the Kansas City Chiefs. With the Eagles ultimately emerging victorious, Jason Kelce had a public message for his brother.
In a lengthy post on X which he joked was “the longest tweet ever,” Jason Kelce opened up about the conflicting emotions he felt as a result of the game.
“Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, my former teammates, and friends on being SB LIX Champions!! There were a lot of emotions last night, and now that I’ve collected my thoughts, I’ll attempt to share them in the longest tweet ever,” Jason Kelce Kelce began in a post on X.
“That game was odd for me to watch if I’m being completely honest. I knew it was going to be mixed emotions before, during, and after, and I now know what my parents had to deal with two years ago. On one hand, I wanted what is best for my brother, and to see his success. And on the other hand, there are so many people, teammates, and coaches, in the Philadelphia Eagles organization that I care deeply about, Many of whom I owe my own success to throughout my career.”
Jason made it clear that he was thrilled to see his former teammates and coaches achieve such a significant victory.
“I am very proud for Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni, and this entire team. They have persevered greatly, answered their critics amazingly, and proved themselves to be undoubtedly the best team this season. It is extremely difficult for a team in the NFL to have enough talent, coaching, fortune, and character to win a Super Bowl. The character and swagger of this Eagles team was something truly special to behold. A true representation of the toughness and grit that makes Philadelphia what it is. Well done fellas, well [freaking] done,” Jason continued.
But he also had a pretty clear message for his brother, making it clear that he always rooted for him and supported him, too.
“As for my brother, There isn’t a person I love or care about more. It has been tough to process these feelings, of course I feel for him and am always rooting for him, but I know he does not need, nor want my pity. He has amassed greatness few on this planet could ever dream of, as has his team, and they should feel pride in their accomplishments this season and in the past. I know right now they are still thinking of last night and the shortcomings in the last game, But in time that will fade, and the greatness they have exhibited as a group will remain as one of the most dominant eras of football ever,” Jason continued.
The two will undoubtedly address the game and their feelings surrounding it on their New Heights podcast that they do together.
