Retired former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce revealed that he lost all of his money at a casino in New Orleans during Super Bowl LIX week earlier this month.
“I went to a ‘New Heights’ party. I went to a [Chris] Stapleton concert. Outside of that, I just lost all my money at the casino,” Jason told his brother and co-host, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, during the latest episode of their New Heights podcast.
“Casino’s right next door, and because I won so much money last year at Las Vegas [at the Super Bowl], I thought, ‘You know, hey, we’ll just keep this rolling, this will be great.’
“Yup, didn’t work this time. It’s back to why I don’t normally go to the casino. It’s just like handing them money.”
Jason, who announced his retirement after 13 NFL seasons last March, said things went downhill once he got to the craps table.
“I’m sitting there playing craps,” he said. “This f–king dude is sitting down playing the ‘don’t pass’ line, killing it, just killing it… I want to kill this guy so bad.”
“To be honest, [the craps table] was a bigger bloodbath than the game was. I know you’re frustrated with the Eagles-Chiefs game. The craps table with Jason Kelce versus this guy was even more embarrassing.”
“I don’t know if it can get any more embarrassing than that," Travis responded.
Jason, who made $82 million during his NFL career, joined ESPN as part of its Monday Night Countdown coverage in May, which was reported to be part of a three-year, $24 million contract, according to the Athletic's Andrew Marchand.
