As the NFL season kicks off, the Kelce brothers, Travis and Jason, are back in the limelight. Fans adore them for both their impressive performances on the field as well as their humorous off-field antics. While Travis continues to shine as a key player for the Kansas City Chiefs and enjoys a high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift, Jason, who recently retired, remains very much in the game with his lively activities. His playful behavior includes everything from wild celebrations in VIP areas to engaging with enthusiastic Eagles fans and even amusing interactions in parking lots.
Recently, Jason made his way back to Philadelphia to cheer for his former team at a tailgate event before the Eagles faced the Falcons on September 16th. Known for his exuberance, Jason certainly did not hold back this time. However, following his bold pre-game actions, he may want to reconsider how far he pushes the limits. A light-hearted “tummy touch” celebration might have led him to ponder whether he took things too far.
Jason Kelce’s “Tummy Touch” Ends with a Superfan’s Fall
The situation intensified when Jason invited known Eagles superfan Chris Dunphy on stage. As a former lineman for the team, he was there to energize the crowd with a motivational speech. Together, they commenced a playful “tummy touch” celebration, but Jason inadvertently knocked Dunphy over, causing him to tumble back.
Though Dunphy was seen walking it off afterward, he later disclosed that he had hurt his leg on impact. Thankfully, there’s no hard feelings between them, as Dunphy humorously commented online about the incident. Unbothered by the mishap, Kelce took to his new role as a broadcaster, joining the ESPN pre-game show and later sharing commentary during the game itself.
More Fan Drama for Jason Kelce This Year
This isn’t the only awkward fan interaction Ryan is dealing with post-retirement. Earlier in 2024, an incident occurred in New Jersey when a fan, Andrée Goldberg, verbally confronted Jason and his wife Kylie. Tensions rose after the Kelces turned down a photo request during their date night, leading to a heated exchange caught on video.
Goldberg escalated the situation by declaring the Kelces “will never be allowed in Margate City again.” Kylie, however, responded boldly, noting how intoxicated Goldberg was and calling her out for her behavior. While the Kelces haven’t made an official statement, Goldberg later expressed regret for her actions, acknowledging that her words did not reflect her true character. Additionally, the mayor of Margate City issued a formal apology on behalf of the city to the couple for the unpleasant experience. It seems that retired life for the Kelces is a mix of fun and unexpected challenges, especially amidst the media buzz surrounding Taylor Swift.
