So Happy for Jason, he's not just a Football player, he's a good man and a roll model for any young man growing up who's looking for a professional to look up to on how to conduct yourself on and off the field and just I life in general.

[@lilalpaca9847]

As someone who spent so many Mondays as a waitress at a sports bar. I never thought I’d be so excited to actually listen to the commentary. And here I am contemplating making sure I could stream it, maybe I’ll get myself some wings and get my own ranch.

[@Joseph-wf4qg]

I Said No Ice Lila Jeez👹🧊🧊🥃💃

[@Nappyboy0805]

Can't wait to hear Jason Call his Brother's TD 🎉

[@Eaglesfan11281]

He’s just doing pre game I think

[@Thepetephilly0466]

Yes, he’s on MN Countdown.

[@RitaBowen1]

That's going to be so much fun!

[@julietrucks2653]

I know right!

[@2nd-place]

That’s not gonna happen. At least not anytime this season. Did you even watch the video?

[@megwartman2854]

Congratulations, Jason!! I look forward to watching you master yet another skill in life!! ESPN just made a brilliant hire in bringing on someone who has a unique perspective and take on life as an NFL player and podcaster!! You’ve earned yourself a fantastic new job!

[@Rogue_Wave5150]

He bought me beers before. So generous and fun

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Jason has the smarts, humor and charisma for this job. He will be great.

[@KMC1367]

I would love it if when Travis decides to retire, that he would join his brother and have them both doing sports commentary together!

[@PhillyBirds215-fn6id]

They know the Eagles fans will tune in to whatever game Monday night to see our boy. Clever move ESPN, clever move.

[@segueoyuri]

only eagles fans care about eagles fans my man. Nobody cares if you watch a game or not. It's not like you're noticeable for ESPN as much as you think.

[@PhillyBirds215-fn6id]

@@segueoyuri we're a pretty big market..... im sure ESPN cares if they get another 2 million viewers just because of an analyst.

[@segueoyuri]

@@PhillyBirds215-fn6id well, at the end of the season they'll probably release their audience data. We'll see if there was an increase in the order of TWO MILLION VIEWERS lol

[@Dr_Doyle]

Not only Eagles fans. I'm a die-hard Chiefs fan and I'll be watching those games more just because Jason's going to be on them.

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

@@Dr_Doyleand I don’t know if it’s bad to say, but with Chief’s fans come Taylor fans, many of whom now love Jason and Kylie too…enough to check out Jason as a commentator.

[@Lacey1027]

Jason has the best voice for radio and TV I think! ESPN got it right choosing such a talented and humble guy for the job! Congrats Jason K!

[@terigiese1322]

Big congrats!Jason will definitely add to the Monday Night Football experience!His humor and personality will be such a bonus!(picturing him in a suit with those flip flops on!😅)

[@valeriemiller6617]

Right!!!! 😂 🩴🩴🩴🩴

[@hometowngirlATLisa]

I will finally understand football "stuff' - Jason - rock on !

Congrats Jason!! Canada can't wait to see you in your new role!!

[@dad4ever-c90]

I've watched MNF faithfully since it began in 1970 and my dad would let me stay up late for the games with him. Jason, you should go full COSELL and sport a toupee! I'm sure you could do his voice. All you'd need to learn is the players' middle names.

[@Gr8AuntyConz]

Why on earth would he want to be Cosell when he can be Jason Freaking Kelce! Cosell was great but Jason is Jason. A nerd in an athletic body!

[@richsorrento4107]

Can't wait to hear his genuine love for the city/team during the play calling

[@ninalustik33]

Congratulations Jason!!

[@Mia-ch8]

Love you guys thanks for all you do!❤❤️.

[@hunterhaworth5542]

I love you Jason and trav❤❤❤❤❤

[@earthsciteach]

You guys are bloody legends. Looking forward to hearing Jason's analysis.

[@patrickmitchell4134]

Best hire ESPN has ever made.

[@Hawkeye517]

Yea, right.

[@roee78]

😂😂😂

[@sandrasausville9103]

Congratulations on your new job, absolutely can't wait to get your take and calls on the game

[@dunkelmonkey]

No offense to Peyton and Eli, but we need a "Kelce Cast" once Travis is done playing

[@kevins90sc]

I believe if that happens there will be a DEDICATED...."BLEEPER" in the Control room.

[@Hawkeye517]

No thanks.

[@dunkelmonkey]

@@Hawkeye517 - why?

[@t-bone2019]

I will watch MNF with the sound on this year! Congrats Jason!

[@crystalbenton5410]

Can't wait to watch Monday night Football to watch you Jason ❤❤❤ and I can't wait to watch my Kansas City Chiefs football team ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love you Jason and Travis ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tommyrq180]

Maybe Jason can help educate the Monday Night Football audience about o-line play as has been done on Pat McAfee’s show. For me, that’s been a real revelation and nobody better to talk about that misunderstood element than Jason Kelce.

[@kevins90sc]

Big Thumbs up on that comment.

[@suebigger5097]

I’m so happy for Jason🤗 Glad we’ll still be seeing him!!😊

[@lauriey1518]

[@JanaeUlva]

Congrats Jason! Now I’m looking forward to ESPN Monday night football. Never have cared much before but Jason is fun as well as articulate on football!

[@kellywolf9148]

Jason in a suit... with his flip flops on?

[@joelyr1]

Yup, I said the same thing lol 😂

[@swttuth0329]

This is awesome new. Jason has a great voice for tv! Can’t wait

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Tom Brady will never have the personality that Jason Kelce does. Never . Go Jason

[@chrismaddieourfil-amjourne3720]

Congrats Jason on the new gig! Travis, missed you at OTAs! New guys could sure learn a lot from the TE Goat! Maybe next week huh.

[@slimrock]

I think Jason would look terrific in one of those cool dashiki African shirts that is not too loud, some jorts and flip flops for MNL.

[@annechaudhri435]

I am so happy to see Jason in his new role. As someone who never followed the sport, your unique perspective makes me want to tune in!

[@earljenkins8271]

Congrats!So richly deserved!

[@jjf609]

Love you guys. Congrats Jason. You will be so comfortable being a sportscaster with all the New Heights experience. No swearing on ESPN, can you hold back? Please don't take this the wrong way but since a lot of Swifties, some very young, listen to your podcast, have you considered not using the F-bomb?

[@amymanganaro4243]

I would love to see you on Sunday Countdown w/ my favs! (Mostly Sam but the guys aren’t bad either 😂).
