Jason Kelce to host new ESPN late-night show filmed in Philly - Inquirer
Heeerrreee’s Kelce! Jason Kelce, the retired Eagles center turned multimedia star, is taking his talents to late-night television as the host of They Call It Late Night, a new weekly ESPN show filmed in Philadelphia.

Jason Kelce Showed a Lot of Restraint in Not Clobbering this Autograph Seeker - Crossing Broad
It’s gotta be terrible to reach a level of celebrity where you’ve got people all over you, calling your brother homophobic slurs and yelling expletives at you while demanding your autograph at the same time. Autograph seekers are the worst in general, entitled little rats, but this guy obviously has something wrong with him, like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

He’s average to below average in most measures, including Pro Football Focus (PFF) passing grades which would rank him 23rd of 27 signal callers with more than 227 dropbacks. But on the ground, Hurts has the third-best rushing grade of this QB crop at 88.8. This trails only Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills and Drake Maye of the New England Patriots, who the Rams saw this past weekend. Hurts averages nearly two-full yards after contact on his rushing attempts and has forced 13 missed tackles, both according to PFF.
Eagles-Rams preview: Five things to watch - PhillyVoice
The strength of the Rams defense is their defensive line, notably their young edge rushers. Second-year pro Byron Young leads the team with 6 sacks, after posting 8 sacks as a rookie in 2023. Jared Verse has 4.5 sacks, which is certainly good for a rookie, but also isn’t indicative of how good he has been so far this season. Verse is currently the favorite to win NFC Defensive Rookie of the Year honors (Quinyon Mitchell is second). He is primarily a power rusher who has counters off of his power.
