Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie, drank pints of Guinness, posed with “adoring” fans and showed off some impressive Irish dance moves while celebrating St Patrick’s Day weekend at an Irish bar and restaurant in Pennsylvania.
The Philadelphia Eagles legend, who recently announced his retirement, popped into The Towne House in Media, located around half an hour from Philadelphia in Delaware County, on Saturday for another green celebration.
The Towne House, owned by Patrick Kennedy, 32, from Co Donegal, and Brian McLaughlin, 50, from Co Tyrone, was delighted to welcome the couple. Footage on social media shows the crowd going crazy when Kylie, who has an Irish dancing background, stepped up for a jig with the McHugh School of Irish dance, and keeps up with every step.
“Sláinte and thanks to legendary Eagle Jason Kelce and family for joining us for a few scoops of the black stuff on this day where we all celebrating the wearing of the green,” a bar spokesperson said.
“Jason was so generous and hospitable with his time for all the adoring fans in attendance. His wife is a helluva Irish dancer by the way!”
The Towne House owners, Patrick and Brian, own several famous pubs in New York and Pennsylvania including Carraghers, loved by and named after former Liverpool FC star Jamie Carragher, and The Ridley House in PA.
The duo are opening The Hometown in Rush Township, a beautiful, centuries-old castle and former bank this summer.
The 36-year-old dad-of-three announced his retirement from the NFL earlier this month(Image: Media’s Towne House via Facebook) It is not the first time Jason, whose brother is Taylor Swift’s boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has shown his love and appreciation for the Irish community in Philadelphia and beyond. In March 2019, the NFL star “graciously accepted” an invite to watch a hurling and football match in Limerick Township.
The 36-year-old watched from the side-lines as Na Tóraidhe Philadelphia played Jersey Shore in a game of hurling followed by the Delco Gaels men’s football team who took on Donegal Philadelphia shortly after.
The dad-of-three is retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons. The Eagles star will hang his helmet up following the end of the 2023 season, ending speculation about his future following the Eagles’ loss in the playoffs last season.
The quarterback’s new contract could pay him nearly $55-60 million annually.
A big payday could be in the works for Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott after his MVP-caliber season. A report from NFL Insider Jordan Schultz via the Speak on FS1 with Emmanuel Acho confirmed that the negotiations regarding his contract extension which is due after this season will make him one of the, if not the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL.
Schultz said,
He’s going to get between 55-60 million. We’ve already seen Joe Burrow get that 55 number, Dak Prescott has an opportunity to reset it. I think the floor is around 55. Both sides highly motivated…he has a no trade and no tag clause…Jerry wants to get that thing done.
If $55 million a year is the floor, Dak Prescott’s long-term contract extension could shake the QB market, and not in a good way. While he deserves every penny for how he has played this season, the contract extensions of QBs that took place before this season have already changed the market because, at this point, teams are setting new records every year with the amount they are paying to their quarterbacks.
Dak Prescott could eclipse Joe Burrow as the highest-paid QB in the NFL
Presently, Joe Burrow is the highest-paid quarterback with $55 million per year, followed by Patrick Mahomes, who makes $52.6 million. Since Schultz has said that $55 million is the FLOOR for the negotiations, it means more or less; the figure is bound to just go up from there.
Dak Prescott (via AP) The insider also stated,
He’s playing like an MVP, he has an opportunity to win the Super Bowl and he’s a Dallas Cowboys quarterback in the sense of (Roger) Staubach and (Troy) Aikman, that’s the type of season he’s having. He has earned it. We don’t see great quarterbacks go to free agency, if he doesn’t get paid, he becomes a free agent at around 31-years-old.
It will be safe to say that Jerry Jones would never let that happen.
Dak Prescott has had 30 touchdowns this season. He ranks first in the NFL in that regard. The Cowboys signal-caller has thrown for 3,892 yards, has 7 interceptions, and a QBR of 71.5, which is the third-best in the league.
Just two weeks back, he was the frontrunner for MVP and after he led the Cowboys to a dominant victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, his stock has just soared. A deep playoff run and a possible Super Bowl appearance would speak volumes and help the QB get additional leverage when he goes to the negotiation table concerning his contract. However, irrespective of it, Dak Prescott will get the bag this offseason.
Travis and Jason Kelce appear to be joined by their mom Donna on Wednesday’s episode of New Heights, the first since Jason announced his NFL retirement.
The brothers shared a picture with Donna on their New Heights Instagram account on Tuesday afternoon, with the podcast returning after a week off. ‘New episode drops TOMORROW,’ read the caption.
On Monday, Jason tearfully announced the end of his 13-year football career with the Philadelphia Eagles at a 40-minute press conference.
Donna and Travis were in attendance to support him, as was their father Ed, and the brothers and their mom are set to reflect on the moment for the first time on this week’s episode.
Furthermore, it is the first podcast Travis has recorded since flying out to Australia to briefly join girlfriend Taylor Swift for her Eras Tour before returning to Las Vegas for an extra round of Super Bowl celebrations with the Kansas City Chiefs.
It promises to be a blockbuster episode, although Jason’s retirement will likely take center stage in the talking points.
The brothers typically record their show on Tuesday afternoons but are rarely able to be together during the NFL season.
While they reunited in Philadelphia ahead of Jason’s announcement, they are expected to be in Cleveland tonight for the Cavaliers NBA game.
Their hometown NBA team are honoring the two brothers for their game against Boston Celtics, with fans in attendance able to collect a Kelce bobblehead and buy their merch, with some of the proceeds going to charity.
It comes amid reports that the Kelce brothers could land a new $100million deal to continue producing their New Heights podcast.
They started the show in September 2022 and it has become one of the most popular sporting podcasts around, helped in no small part by Travis dating Swift.
Speaking last month about the surge in popularity of the podcast, Jason said: ‘I haven’t been this connected with Travis, over the last two years, since college.
‘And that has been one of the best things, probably the best thing, of the podcast. It forces us – because we are brothers, before this we would go months on our own without talking. We would text, send a funny video but [to] truly sit down and talk with him, it would be a long time.
‘It has been great, it’s the second year, we have gotten a lot better at it, I think. I feel like first of all we have a tremendous team – our input is very minimal, we just talk.
‘Doing this, you know once a week we are going to sit down and talk. And we are going to have very meaningful conversations, fun conversations and really know where each of us are at in our lives and that’s the most fun part about it.
‘It has reached a higher level thanks to a lot of different factors, including my brother’s love life. But I think it is fun to see people enjoy it and it is fun to see where it is at.’
