The Kelce brothers live an amazing life. Both have won Super Bowls, hosted a great New Heights podcast, and have many brand deals. But now and then, they say or do something that just can’t be ignored. It happened again on January 8. However, only the elder brother, Jason Kelce, was involved. He is living his life as an ESPN analyst after retiring from the league, but he shocked everyone on Wednesday.
Jason Kelce replied to a creator from Houston, Texas with an X account ‘Sideline Sarah’, asking her not to mislead fans out there. He called her out and wrote, “This was in response to a YouTube TV hypothetical question if all the games were on at the same time, which four games are you watching? I am absolutely watching all of the games because the playoffs are awesome. Why would you mislead your followers?”
But what exactly happened? Here are the details.

She posted a video from the New Heights podcast. It featured both brothers talking about the playoff games. Jason Kelce said that he wouldn’t watch the Texans–Chargers wildcard game. He even called it the ‘least interesting game’ to him. But Travis Kelce claimed he would as the Chiefs might play them.
While posting the video, she didn’t know (or ignored) that they were talking about a hypothetical situation in which he could only watch 4 playoff games. So, Sarah took it out of context and got corrected by the legend. But the fans started bashing her. They claimed she wanted attention by twisting his words.
However, the Super Bowl winner clarified the situation. It’s natural that such things happen. He’s everywhere, even starting his show on ESPN.

When the season started, the former Eagles legend featured in ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown. But the fans got pumped up when he announced his new talk show last November. On January 4, 2025, he debuted the first episode of the sports talk show on ESPN called They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce. Featuring the NBA legend Charles Barkley, it was a hit among the viewers.

Both had a lively chat, and even debated about Saquon Barkley playing in the season finale. He first asked the NBA legend about his opinion that Nick Sirianni should have played Barkley. But he claimed it was the right decision. However, he also claimed that it would have been legendary for the running back, had he broken the record.
