Just weeks removed from his phone-smashing incident, Jason Kelce found himself in yet another ugly incident with a fan.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center made an appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ on Thursday night, prompting several autograph seekers to camp outside the studio in the hopes of acquiring his signature.
One of them snapped after he walked straight to his car, hurling multiple insults at the junior ESPN analyst.

“You ain’t nobody special!” the male shouted at him as he entered the car. “You’re some s*** bag, f***ing guy that thinks he’s on some pedestal!”
It got to the point where Jason got out of his car to explain why he walked past.

“I have a habit of not signing for people that follow where I’m going,” he said.
That was not enough to get him to calm down, and he actually challenged the former Pro Bowler to a fight.
“I’ll be running the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” he yelled. “Watch for me, you p***y! F*** you. And f*** your love!”

Jason Kelce Made Peace With The Angry Fan
Something surprising happened shortly after.
Jason went to the group of fans and promised to give them his autograph, at which point the man calmed down and apologized. He would apologize again after Kelce signed for him and shook his hand.
“You’re good, bro,” Jason said.
It appears the future Hall of Famer meant it when he said he would be handling situations better following the incident with the Penn State fan. Good on him.

Jason Kelce could have a future as a band frontman following his retirement from football.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center has transitioned to media since calling curtains on his career and is now with ESPN, while he also runs a podcast with his brother Travis. But it appears the man is good at many other things.
Kelce got on stage with indie rock band Mt. Joy outside Lincoln Financial Field before the Eagles played the Commanders on Thursday night, debuting his new Christmas song, “Santa Drives an Astrovan.”
Kelce releases an annual Xmas album to help raise money for charities around Philadelphia, and he was pleased to see the number of people who showed up to support him before kickoff.
“What’s up everybody! Thank y’all for coming out,” he told fans.“This goes a long way to help me promote this album which is going to help a lot of families around this area around the holidays. So thank you so much for supporting.”
The Super Bowl winner did eventually get to singing, and he sounded great.

Jason Kelce Called It
Jason Kelce’s album, “A Philly Special Christmas Party,” has already started catching on following the release of “Maybe This Christmas” featuring Stevie Nicks.
He discussed Thursday’s event with Travis on their ‘New Heights’ podcast earlier this week.
“We initially were like, ‘We’re just gonna do something in the parking lot. It’ll be fun. Just to get it on video to help promote it,’” he said during the show. “And somehow it’s turned into we full-on have a stage in the Linc … and we’re just gonna be performing this song right before the most important game of the Eagles’ season to date takes place.”
Turns out the Eagles indeed kicked some “Commie a**” on the night, with Saquon Barkley inspiring them to a 24-18 win, making 26 carries for 146 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
