Jason telling his Mom to go celebrate with Travis was the best sportsmanship moment EVER. He was so classy & mature.

[@ek2156]

I am a life long Chiefs fan since I was born in 1970! My dad is a HUGE Chiefs fan, so that pretty much made me a Chiefs fan. The only regret that I have from truly enjoying the Chiefs win over the Eagles is that they had to beat Jason Kelce to win it.... Jason is a national treasure, and I will truly be sad when he decides to retire, thank GOD he will still be around on the podcast.... hopefully anyhow! :D

[@lauradavis8949]

I FEEL the SAME ƁUT I WAS A EAGLE FAN GROWING UP 😮

[@rimok.2765]

Jason is super humble about how good he actually is. Gives everyone else credit.

[@samkorn4047]

Agreed. Dude’s a no-brainer first ballot HOF and he still gives all the love to his teammates. We don’t deserve him (or Travis for that matter)

[@TheyCallMeGator]

​@@samkorn4047Philly fans definitely don't deserve someone as humble as Jason. They deserve someone like Baker Mayfield lmao.

[@JohnDoe-ep1cp]

​@theycallmegator832 we more loyal to our players then anyone. Lmao we defended Ben Simmons. You can say philly don't deserve them but philly being philly is why guys like him fletcher cox and Brandon grahm stayed their entire career here. Just saying

[@glenf6639]

I’m a KC native and 40 year die hard Chiefs fan. But truly……. My 2nd favorite team is the Eagles… the way that entire team played us in the SB… shit… Jalen Hurts is a legend. Love Eagles and their fans. Mad Respect from Chiefs Kingdom. I hope we face each other again this year and if we lose i will still be happy.

[@rickpaton7538]

This is exactly the kind of interview that former/current athletes should aim for. Detailed, inside knowledge, free flowing. Really really well done!!

[@Halbumen]

jason kelce is a treasure who must be protected at all times

[@Betty-Boop809]

Jesus as a guest “he would be a great get - #1 bookseller of all time” Kelce is so authentic & hilarious.

[@tforbes3]

Could listen to Chris and Jason talk for hours. Great pod

[@joj0fb75]

The way Chris Long talks, ya dont get pro-athlete vibes from him and I mean that as a compliment. He talks like a regular dude who doesn't have his head up his ass and you can relate to him and he has such genuine conversation with the guests, its honestly refreshing. Jason is also another humble athlete who understands that they are just dudes doin their job and can be superstars and normal human beings the same time. Need to get Chris on New Heights asap!

[@soya5180]

Eagles were blessed to have both these dudes win a Superbowl together

[@AlexTheEaglesFan]

Both these guys have been killing the sports podcast game lately. 👏🏻💪🏻

[@musathomas729]

Due to their greatness, they got the green light to go to new heights

[@anthonyalarcon4965]

Awesome picture of Devonta Smith! A play making wide receiver!

[@1burnman]

They sure have no question about it

[@AlexTheEaglesFan]

Man… you could hear how disappointed Jason was that Jalen doesn’t have a Super Bowl ring after that performance. Would be storybook if we can go back and win it like the Patriots did after we beat them and send Jason out the way he deserves.

[@Youtubedeletes]

Jason what did you do to get your knees fixed? I have a baker's cyst on both knees. One knee bone on bone and I do not want to get a replacement. I guess I need to know your doctor!!

[@tacotom3492]

Man .. he didn't deserve it .. they got smoked 2nd half . Stop this BS 😂

[@AlexTheEaglesFan]

​@@tacotom3492 Only one saying BS here is you lol. He had them up by 10 at the half even after the fumble. He also tied the game at the end with a TD and 2 point conversion that he had no business converting. He was incredible in that game.

[@stevefloyd3595]

Hurts is overrated. He has to have guys push him from behind to get a yard. The Eagles were overrated and couldn't even sack a gimpy Mahomes once. Hurts fumbled the ball without getting hit and turned that into a Chiefs touchdown. So how can anyone think Hurts had a great game. You can't have a great game when you fumble a TD. That was the biggest play in the game and Hurts lost the game for the a Eagles plain and simple. He also got sacked twice by the Chiefs and he's supposed to be a great runner. The best running QB during the Superbowl was Mahomes when he ran for 30 yards to lock up the game with a minute left. And Mahomes had a badly injured ankle. I'm tired of hearing about Hurts squatting 600 lbs when he needs guys pushing him from behind.. Cry Eagles Cry. Lol. Eagles are losers. I like Jason but he's the second best Kelce. Go Chiefs

[@AlexTheEaglesFan]

@@stevefloyd3595 You wasted a lot key strokes on a stupid reply.

[@nickamen]

Chris Long really enjoyed his time with the Eagles and it was only 2 years. I was surprised how well he played for us too. I'm pretty sure his Super Bowl with the Eagles means a lot more to him than the one with the Patriots

[@nancymachold8006]

I'm so grateful to get to know how special many of these athletes really are.Jason I'm sure there is a future in coaching for you where you can help the newer player. Love to you Kylie and your three beautiful daughters.

[@jordancarson188]

So happy you brought McNabb up. The whole reason I'm an Eagles fan is because of 5. Those teams were special. He and all those guys were amazing

[@imbykji]

CL: you've been playing really well JK:

[@austinhoffman5367]

As a balding 28 year old eagles fan who just buzzed it off, I feel inspired by Jason's bravery

[@555dking]

31 for me but same

[@linettejones]

Love Jason he is proof you can make it at a high level even if you are not a prototypical size. So proud of his accomplishments

[@dazdealz4648]

This was a GREAT Podcast 2 of the most likable Eagles ever

[@seanob9245]

I was so upset when long retired. I wanted my walter Payton patch Long jersey! I'm calling it now, Jason will win the man of the year 2024

[@MT-xl8jy]

Just great Really enjoyed this A member of Raider Nation since 65 Remember clearly when Howie joined our team You are doin him proud Sir

[@brianhildreth9099]

Two of my favorite guys from the NFL. On and off the field.

[@lawrencemolen7748]

Chris, love the podcast! Love your honesty! The Kelce Brothers are both amazing human beings!!!!

[@dkitt-1]

I could listen to you two dudes for hours.

[@marciawellman8668]

This is awesome - two of my all time favorite players. Intelligent, articulate, kind, give back to the community!! Need to look at the past videos to see if Chris has done a Long family episode with his father and brother.

[@davidweed1879]

What an amazing couple of dudes. Awesome discussion with these two.

[@Betty-Boop809]

I agree about McNabb being misunderstood, he gets so much hate but helped change this franchise. I loved this interview/chat so much, it didn’t disappoint. You’re two of my favorite players. Chris, loved the reel of you seeing your picture from the SB parade.

[@tylermintz4523]

Fer real Chris you ask good questions. Great interview

[@cedricmoore8053]

I love Jason as a person. Love your shows.

[@PoppyJ1419]

Chris Long is 🔥 and Jason is an incredible guy, especially as a Dad!❤❤❤

[@tj6930]

[@jasontaylor9759]

Great podcast guys. Keep up the good work New Heights and Green Light with Chris Long!

[@gregbryant888]

I love Jason so much man! 🥹🤧💚🫵🏽🏉🫶🏽

[@beckywilliamson1577]

Can honestly relate about Siegfried & Roy, as we were there at the show a month before the accident. I whispered to my sister & friend "these cats they're so laid back" We were concerned when we heard the news & thankful Roy was able to rehab❤

[@elaineostrander1533]

Love seeing u guys again.. This was so Awesome watching u too..We need to see more of the to of you...💚🦅💚

Nelson is the man. All those receivers that year had big moments. Played like the fucking globetrotters! 🙏🦅💚

[@towertito2149]

Jason is a MANS MAN! HUMBLE, honest and real. This man is a LOCK for HOF!!! If he don't go in. I'll question the NFL forever. I mean Alex karas is in there and Jason is a better player hands down.

Great episode, love the pod

wow, when the two talk about their heads, 'do you think we are ok here (pointing to head)' to show that concern, how that must always be on their minds. Great dudes, I wish them long happy and cognitively clear lives

[@lucy.stewartxx8167]

Love this episode, you guys are great! ❤

[@themachine3490]

Anytime you can get a Kelce on, it's going to be a good time.

[@Geeekstar]

Chris , get in Jason’s ear tell him get Dallas Goedart on the show .. most under appreciated TE in the league

[@imbykji]

Dallas and Avonte Maddox are a matched set.

[@wielandgollenbeck2871]

Great Podcast, greating from Austria.

It looks like you guys are holding hands in the open and you are talking about embracing. It looks natural respect for each other.

[@ryanauker1144]

If this man ever retires it will be a sad sad day.

[@ryanauker1144]

And it was sad when Chris did too but we love our players.

All of Nellie's sins have been forgiven in philly with his superbowl performance lol

[@sharifabankz3596]

Jason so cool 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@matthewwilliams2758]

That's what happens when you play mahomes but I think this was the best superbowl I haven seen in a long time I an a chiefs fan but damn what a game was that

[@NesconProductions]

Great ex-teammate interview! Glad they tackled the issue of health & head injuries. Jason wearing bubble-wrap on top of his helmet hat was a good look in last year's training camp 😁! Think football needs to old-school and get rid of all the hard shell gear if the league is truly serious about reducing injuries (especially head injuries). Think hard shells do far more harm than good 🙄. Australian rules football & rugby are very similar sports and don't use such equipment 🤔, so idea needs to be looked at (at all levels..) in American (& Canadian) football, comparing injury rates. The sound of helmets banging into each other shouldn't be reason we watch (& play) the game, isn't for me. Think play would improve (rather drastically) if players weren't encumbered by helmets, shoulder pads, etc. that reduce visual & overall body awareness. Best wishes to Jason & Chris that they both, 'Live Long 😉 & Prosper' 🖖! PS - Chickens eat ticks too & don't tie the giblets 😬.

[@philadelphiabornandraised7418]

Just two solid dudes shooting the **** I love to see it #flyeaglesfly

Lovely date. Holding hands at the start. Hopefully we will see a second maybe third date.

In the split screen it looks like they're sitting next to each other holding hands😂

Hi won some rules give a chance for the team to catch up or some kind of rule I don’t know Something you guys know what you guys are talking about❤❤

[@billtyree6876]

J. Kelce and Bruce mathews are the 2 best centers ever IMO

[@billtyree6876]

@OFF GRID WOODSMAN I think modern day centers are so much faster and athletic than older players. I don't think the old players can ever move around like kelce. Definitely biased with Mathews being a Oilers/Titans fan

[@billtyree6876]

@OFF GRID WOODSMAN LT was the most dominant player I've ever seen play

[@alisontuckwab9354]

That’s the only way you’re gonna find out if you put it out there for one year These new rules they say they made as if you played❤❤

New News?

[@vavito2302]

Sooo funny how it looks like their holding hands in the beginning

[@phillyapolis8141]

Desean was cut in his prime and then signed with WASH. Unlike, JP who milked the Eagles for every last cent even after he was clearly washed and then CHOSE to sign with Dallas just to grab another bag (Which I am sure he does not need). Two completely different scenarios. Jason Peters is an all-time grate and I will forever be grateful. However, chump move, bro.

Peters has a gambling problem. He absolutely needs the money.

Griffondor is Courage. And that can be good or bad. Slytherin is Ambition. And that can be good or bad. Ravenclaw is Wisdom and Knowledge and that can be good or bad. Hufflepuff is Nature and that can be good or bad. If Malfoi hadn't been browbeat and brainwashed by the bad guy, he might have been awesome. Look at how long Snape resisted. Harry should have been Slytherin and Ron Weasley should have been Hufflepuff. If the bad guy wasn't still around, Harry wouldn't have automatically been a bad guy just because he was in Slytherin.
