Since hanging up his cleats after 13 remarkable seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason Kelce has shown no signs of slowing down.
The Super Bowl champion, widely regarded as one of the best centers in NFL history, has seamlessly transitioned into broadcasting.
Travis Kelce is headed back to TEU and Jason is firing shots at Tight Ends
Kelce‘s post-retirement journey led him straight into the spotlight with ESPN, where he signed a lucrative three-year, $24 million contract.
As part of the network’s high-profile revamp of Monday Night Countdown, Kelce joined forces with respected names such as Scott Van Pelt, Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears. But that wasn’t the only project that showcased his magnetic personality.

ESPN handed the 37-year-old his own show, They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce, marking the network’s first foray into late-night sports entertainment.
With a mix of humor, authenticity, and insight, Kelce‘s transition from the gridiron to the broadcast stage was so smooth that it earned him a solo Sports Emmy nomination for Outstanding Emerging On-Air Talent.
His podcast, New Heights, which he co-hosts with younger brother and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, wasted no time in celebrating the milestone.
“Gotta add Emmy nominee to your resume now Congrats @jasonkelce,” the show posted on X.
Saban takes the trophy
Though it was Jason Kelce‘s third Sports Emmy nomination overall-his previous two came from the Amazon Prime documentary Kelce-this marked his first nod as an on-air personality.
The category was fiercely competitive, featuring legends of both the football field and broadcasting stage.
Kelce was up against an elite group of newcomers, including Alabama coaching icon Nick Saban for his work on ESPN’s College GameDay, former Villanova head coach Jay Wright for his analysis on CBS and TNT, and NFL alumni Ryan Fitzpatrick and Richard Sherman, who contribute to Prime’s Thursday Night Football.
Ultimately, the trophy went to Saban, who has impressed viewers with his seamless transition into college football commentary.
Though Kelce didn’t take home the award, the nomination alone signals a bright future in broadcasting.
With New Heights dominating podcast charts and the Golden Globes announcing a new “Best Podcast” category, Kelce may still have another trophy in his future-one just as shiny as a Lombardi.

Garrett Wilson, after frustrating season, says he hopes he’s ‘a Jet for life’

And in some cases, he's all alone in the team's record book.At just 24 and entering his fourth NFL season, the star wide receiver is looking for even more — catches, wins and a new contract."You know, I'm hopeful I'm a Jet for life," Wilson said Wednesday after the Jets' first practice of organized team activities open to reporters. "And that we get this thing rolling and that all of our best days are ahead of us."Last month, the Jets exercised the fifth-year contract options for all three of their 2022 first-round draft picks, including Wilson, cornerback Sauce Gardner and edge rusher Jermaine Johnson. Wilson, the 10th overall selection that year — six picks after Gardner — would be due about $16.8 million […]

Where Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s free-throw attempts rank in NBA MVP history, and why context is important
Getty Images Game 1 of the Western Conference finals brought a seasons-long debate back to the forefront, as Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander polarized the global NBA community once again with his ability to get to the free-throw line. Accusations of foul-baiting have been hurled at SGA for the last few years, but this season's critiques have been particularly harsh given the success of both himself and his team.Expect the conversation to only get louder after Gilgeous-Alexander was officially named NBA MVP on Wednesday night. The seventh-year guard put up one of the best offensive seasons in NBA history, leading the league in scoring with 32.7 points per game, but some have devalued his production due to his propensity to draw fouls and earn points from the charity stripe. Others argue that Gilgeous-Alexander is simply taking advantage of the […]
