Jason Kelce issued a hilarious response Saturday night to claims that NFL fans were getting tired of watching him on TV.
Eagles legend Kelce, who joined ESPN this year after retiring from football, came across a post from anonymous aggregator Dov Kleiman on X.
He read post: ‘Many NFL fans are upset because they see ‘too much’ of Jason Kelce on TV. Do you agree?
Kelce, however, took the message in stride and responded with humor, as he usually does.
“I couldn’t agree more, how is it possible to film so many commercials?” he responded. ‘(His daughter) Wyatt sees enough of me, he doesn’t need to see daddy’s face or shitty jokes in 4K anymore! She loves Hank though.

Kelce joined ESPN this year after concluding his brilliant playing career with the Eagles.

Kelce has certainly had a prominent role on television since ending his brilliant playing career with the Eagles, as he appeared weekly on Monday Night Countdown for ESPN.
He also jumped into the booth alongside Troy Aikman and Joe Buck in Week 2 when Philadelphia hosted the Falcons.
And a report this week from Disk He also said Kelce and ESPN were in talks about him hosting a late-night show.
However, at least one of Kelce’s colleagues at ESPN previously suggested that he was getting too much airtime.
In September, Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo took that position while speaking on First Take.
‘You’re going to be mad at me. I’m going to say it anyway because I feel like it,’ Russo began.
“I think we’ve all seen a lot of Jason Kelce in the last few weeks.”
His comments caused a stir among his ESPN colleagues when former Colts offensive lineman Jeff Saturday called him a “hater.”
Meanwhile, Stephen A. Smith defended Kelce as “a new star on the network” and said, “I really like Jason.”
Kelce will be with ESPN in Pittsburgh on Monday when the Steelers host the Giants.
