Jason Kelce issued a hilarious response on Saturday night to claims that NFL fans were getting tired of seeing him on TV.
Eagles legend Kelce, who joined ESPN this year after retiring from football, came across a post from anonymous aggregator Dov Kleiman on X.
The post read: ‘Many NFL fans are upset that they see ‘too much’ of Jason Kelce on TV. Do you agree?’
Kelce, though took the message in stride and responded with humor as he so often does.
‘Couldn’t agree more, how is it even possible to film that many commercials,’ he responded. ‘[His daughter] Wyatt sees enough of me, she doesn’t need to see more of Dad’s face or shitty jokes in 4K! She does love Hank though.’

Kelce joined ESPN this year after wrapping up his glittering playing career with the Eagles
‘Hank’ refers to a CGI buffalo that Kelce appeared alongside in a Buffalo Wild Wings commercial over the summer, while he has also appeared in ads for Wawa.
Kelce has certainly had a prominent TV role since ending his glittering playing career with the Eagles, as he’s appeared weekly on Monday Night Countdown for ESPN.
He also hopped in the booth alongside Troy Aikman and Joe Buck in Week 2 when Philly hosted the Falcons.
And a report this week from Puck also said that Kelce and ESPN were in talks for him to host a late-night show.

Jason Kelce slammed by ESPN colleague Chris Russo in bizarre rant
However, at least one of Kelce’s ESPN colleagues has previously suggested he was getting too much airtime.
Back in September, Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo took that position while speaking on First Take.
‘You’re gonna get mad at me. I’m gonna say it anyway because I feel like it,’ Russo began.
‘I think we’ve all seen plenty of Jason Kelce in the last few weeks.’
His comments caused an uproar with his ESPN colleagues as former Colts offensive lineman Jeff Saturday called him a ‘hater.
Meanwhile, Stephen A. Smith defended Kelce as ‘a new star to the network’ and said ‘I happen to like Jason a great deal.’
Kelce will be with ESPN in Pittsburgh on Monday as the Steelers host the Giants.
