Jason and Travis Kelce recorded their first podcast since the Super Bowl 59 belt to ass-whooping, and there was a five-minute segment in which Jason talked about the difficulty of rooting for his brother while the Eagles were on the other side, the gap between the teams filled with internet trolls:

“You don’t have to explain anything to anybody. I know who Jason Kelce is, and I know my brother and what his intentions are. Nobody can ever fucking confuse that. You can’t let these jamokes online make you think that you’re in the wrong for what you’re saying. I hear it loud and clear and I think the people in the Philadelphia organization understand exactly who you are and what you represent, and how you were saying it as well… Fuck ’em, you don’t owe any of these dickheads the acknowledgement. You really don’t, Jason. Everyone that knows you knows your intentions. Anybody saying anything otherwise is like you said, just trying to get a rise out of somebody else.”

Yeah exactly. Thank, you Travis. What even is the story here? Douchebags were giving Jason shit because they made up some rule that he’s not allowed to have a rooting interest on both sides? Every Eagles fan with an ounce of common sense was perfectly fine with Jason’s stance and understood the conflict that came with it, so presumably a large portion of these “jamokes” and “dickheads” are either non-Eagles fans or Swifties.

Jason kind of stumbles backwards into answering his own rhetorical question when he says, “I don’t even know what I want to say man, I really don’t. Cause no matter what it’s gonna piss somebody off. That’s probably the reality of the it.”

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Internet trolls are being internet trolls. In other news, the grass is green, the sky is blue, and Joel Embiid passed up a game-winning three on Tuesday night and turned the ball over.

Jason is an emotional guy, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but it seems like he was caught off guard by the toxicity, of our cittttyy, no wait, that’s a System of a Down lyric. It seems like he was caught off guard by the diabolical toxicity of the internet, because this meteoric rise exposed him to new things he probably wasn’t ready for. This what fame looks and feels like. One day you’re a regional cult hero, the next you’re doing Monday Night Football, a late night talk show, and an uber-popular podcast. Now all of the eyeballs are on you, all the paparazzi and assorted loathsome individuals. You can never please everybody and there’s no point in trying, so you just have to be yourself, do your thing, and find comfort in it.

Jason and Travis both need a vacation.
