Jason Kelce is calling it a career after 13 NFL seasons.

The Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center told his teammates in the locker room after Monday’s season-ending wild card loss to the Buccaneers that he is retiring, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The 36-year-old future Hall-of-Famer was visibly upset on the sidelines at the end of Philadelphia’s 32-9 loss at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

Kelce appeared to be crying during the final seconds of the game when ESPN cameras panned to him on the sidelines.

“That looks like a man filled with emotion right now,” said Troy Aikman, who was calling the game with Joe Buck in the booth.

Kelce — who was set to become a free agent in March — then shared an exchange and a hug with his longtime offensive line coach, Jeff Stoutland.

Long time Giants fan celebrates embarrassing losses by the hated Eagles and the hated Cowboys! Please note that it’s only sports hate, not REAL hate!

Yep, definitely was rooting against Eagles and Cowgirls.

Not three. Just one boy and one girl. Society has taught these kids to only replace themselves as a matter of principle of not destroying the earth.

“Hey Mr. Travis, I’m here to stay,
I’m over 30 and has come my day”

“With my fat red lips, It’s not no maybe,
I’m really desperate, and I need that baby”

“So listen one and all, it’s long past fall,
Not in the song, but I’ve hit the wall.”

“Got us all on the tv, for all to see,
Now you can’t back out, cause it’s me, me, me”

“Try something different, and do me wrong,
I’ll blast it out on my next new song”

November 26, the Eagles were 10-1. However, as you can see by the margin of victory points, they were not blowing teams off the field, with the exception of Tampa Bay. Both Washington games, they had to come from behind to win. Their slide started with the 49ers. After November 26, they were 1-5.

My uneducated opinion – I think it was a combination of the coaching staff losing the players and other teams figuring them out. Jason Hurts may be the future Kapernick.

13 years in the NFL as a center is one hell of a career. One only wonders the toll it took on his body, which will manifest itself in the coming years.

Enjoy your retirement Jason, you earned it.

Jaylen Hurts is a One Trick Pony. He runs for 1st downs.

Once the other teams figured that out he had no tricks left in his bag.

He came from Saban’s Alabama, as did Tua Tagovailoa (Dolphins) and Mac Jones (Pats). They are like three peas in a pod....................
