Jason Kelce might be screaming “Oh!” After trying to make a joke on ESPN.
The former Eagles center was about to backtrack on his attempt at humor when he jokingly called Arlington and Dallas, Texas, “America's butthole and armpit” during “Monday Night Countdown.” I noticed that.
While the “Monday Night Countdown” crew was interacting with the animated version of Kimes, Dan Orlovsky, Drew Carter and others, Kelce was trying to play out a joke that Mina Kimes had told a while ago. Monday night game.
The alternate-cast version of the Bengals-Cowboys showdown was “broadcast live” from Springfield, the fictional town where “The Simpsons” characters live.
In an exchange between the two broadcasts, Kimes called Springfield “the armpit of America's ass crack.” This is a direct reference to the show and one of the city's nicknames.
When Scott Van Pelt brought “Monday Night Countdown” back to AT&T Stadium, he revealed they were back in “Texas, Arlington, Dallas…”
That's when Kelce jumped in: “America's butthole and armpits too.”
The committee was immediately struck by Kelce's comments, as the former Eagle clarified that he was “just joking.”
“Everyone, what Mina said was just a joke,” Kelce tried to explain.
But Van Pelt wondered if the Cowboys' former NFC East rival was really joking.
“We're having fun here,” Kelce protested. “I love Dallas. I got a cowboy hat.”
Kelce is in his first season as a member of the “Monday Night Countdown” crew after retiring from the NFL in March after 13 years with the Eagles.
He shot to fame with the hugely successful New Heights podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who is dating music superstar Taylor Swift.
Attempts at jokes weren't the only pranks Kelce featured on air. I took a bite of a pink “Simpsons” themed donut And he signed autographs for fans.
