Jason Kelce Retirement: Goat Status Denied to Eagles Star as Michigan Alum Places Ex NFL Star Above Him

Jason Kelce, the former center for the Philadelphia Eagles, has announced his retirement after 13 years of loyalty to the team. The 36-year-old has been an exceptional talent and a driving force behind the Eagles’ decade-long glory. Now, as he has decided to call it quits, the fans wish him all the best for his next adventure.

The Philadelphia Eagles were knocked out of the Super Bowl race today at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A poor performance by the Eagles, the score ended at a shocking low of 32-9. With sources suggesting that Kelce told his teammates that he was retiring, he looked extremely emotional after the loss and broke down in tears. As such, several fans have been terming Kelce as the GOAT when it comes to centers and Jason Whitlock immediately procured to deny these claims.

Jason Whitlock shows his doubts regarding Kelce’s glory as a center and compares him to Dwight Stephenson

After today’s upset against the Buccaneers, Kelce was seen in tears as he tried to find his family in the stands. All these signs are indicative that Kelce might very well be leaving the NFL for good. This led to the fans having a conversation about his greatness and all that he’s achieved in the sport. As a result, Jason Whitlock, the former QB for the Michigan Wolverines and now a sports commentator, had strong words to say about Kelce.

Whitlock wrote, “Hall of Famer for sure. But you clearly never saw Dwight Stephenson play.” Whitlock has been known to have controversial opinions that more often than usual end up putting athletes down. Additionally, he’s publicly known as Deion Sanders’ no.1 hater. With the comparison to Dwight Stephenson, it is evident that he took an issue with Kelce being called the best. Which is not very surprising, when it comes to Jason Whitlock.

Whitlock is a scandalous podcaster in the world of the NFL. Through the medium of his show called ‘The Jason Whitlock’ show, he’s managed to take shots at all the big names in sports, including the likes of Travis Kelce, LeBron James, Patrick Mahomes, etc. But one name that has come to bite him back is that of Stephen A. Smith. Here’s a look at how Smith retaliated against Whitlock in the most brutal way possible.

Stephen A. Smith lashes out at Whitlock

In a recent episode of the ‘Jason Whitlock show, he took a direct shot at Stephen A. Smith and called him an “industry plant.” Moreover, he also implied that Smith lied in his memoir and never wrote his book. All these statements invoked a 45-minute reply from Smith himself, who went on his YouTube channel to destroy Whitlock with his words.

The 45-minute rant was released on the ‘Stephen A. Smith’ show and it witnessed Smith taking the gloves off against Whitlock. Smith angrily said, “Don’t ever call me about him again. I’m a very forgiving person – not with him. … I hate this b****** far more than a little bit. He is the worst human being any of you will ever meet. You get within a mile of his presence, wrap your arms around yourself to protect your soul. He is Cain. He is a devil. The worst. That’s all I have to say.” With all these words, he came crashing down on Whitlock and finally shut him up. If there’s anything that the fans know for sure about Whitlock is that he will surely respond with yet another motive to instigate.
