Jason Kelce, known for his unconventional and unpredictable style, left his ESPN “Monday Night Countdown” co-hosts Ryan Clark and Marcus ‘Swagu’ Spears in a state of disbelief with a comment during the broadcast.
The incident occurred just before a doubleheader of Monday night NFL games, showcasing Kelce’s signature raw and candid demeanor. As the panel discussed the vulnerabilities of the Dallas Cowboys’ defense, particularly their defensive line, host Scott Van Pelt prompted Kelce to talk about the thrill of physical dominance on the field.
Van Pelt started: “When you start pushing them and they can’t stop you, that has to be the best feeling,” but was quickly interrupted by Spears who jokingly said: “You didn’t have to ask him like that.”
Kelce, never one to shy away from an awkward moment, replied in true Kelce fashion: “There’s nothing more I love than pushing it on another grown man and just taking it over.”
His remark caused an uproar on set, with Clark bursting into laughter while he and Spears spun around in their chairs, hiding their faces in shock at the candidness of the comment.

The live TV segment took a hilarious turn when Kelce carried on with his analysis as if the mishap hadn’t occurred, offering his sharp insights into the game’s finer points with his trademark blend of wit. Amidst laughter, Clark managed to compose himself and quipped, “Yeah guys, this might be the last one for me,” before returning to his usual polished commentary on the Ravens-Cowboys game.
Kelce’s antics are precisely what his fans have come to love: an unfiltered authenticity that injects humour and liveliness into the typically reserved realm of NFL punditry. This incident adds to the growing list of humorous moments since Kelce started his new role just three weeks prior.
In his second week, Kelce escalated his off-field shenanigans, joining Eagles supporters for a tailgate in the parking lot ahead of their narrow 22-21 defeat to the Atlanta Falcons. Sporting an Eagles tracksuit, he grooved to a club remix of Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” from the speakers, delivering what was hailed online as a “10 out of 10” performance.
The moment caught fire on social media, prompting Kelce to comment on the frenzy. “Sometimes you let the music take the body where it needs to be,” he said humorously.
“My knees were sore though” he confessed, chuckling at the memory.

In his first stint as an analyst, Travis Kelce confessed to a hilarious blunder he’d left his travel bag behind. In a rush, he dashed to a mall for a quick fix, only to end up with a shirt that was comically tight.
“It fits my belly now. I’ve lost a little bit of weight but my —- are still struggling,” he quipped. The gaffe caused quite the buzz, so much so that Kelce’s brother, also Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end, shared that he and his pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift couldn’t help but laugh over the incident while they were tuned into the NFL.
