makes a cameo here, so whetheryou bleed green, red, or don't

(01:10):

this unfiltered outpouring of joy and brotherlylove from the one and only Jason Kelsey.
So grab a friend to drink andget ready for some hilarious high jinks.
Here's the tale of an NFL legendjust wanting to proudly cheer on his
baby bro in the most Kelsey fashionever. Now, football fans, I'm

(01:32):
sure most of you know Jason Kelsey. As we said, he's the lovable,
fun loving center for the Philadelphia Eagles. Well, Jason was on cloud
nine this weekend watching his younger brotherTravis, who plays for the Kansas City
Chiefs, take on the Buffalo Bills, and I tell you, Jason could
barely contain his excitement. This bigbrother was bursting with joy and pride for

(01:53):
Travis. So when Travis caught atouchdown pass, Jason let out the most
jubilant scream as he ripped off hisshirt and started waving it above his head.
I swear this guy was more animatedthan the actual players on the field.
He was dancing in the stands,chugging drinks just beside himself with happiness
for his little bro. Now,I did see some footage of Jason's sweet

(02:15):
wife, Kylie, looking a bitshocked by her hubbies over the top antics.
Can't say I blame her, butoh, it was all in good
fun. And none other than musicsuperstar Taylor Swift was also on hand,
watching the game with Jason and hisfamily talk about star power. The pop
princess seemed tickled pink by Jason's spiritedcelebration. In fact, at one point,

(02:38):
Jason even helped a young Swift fanget the singer's attention. He scooped
up this precious little eight year oldgirl named Ella and brought her right to
the edge of the box so shecould show Taylor the sign she made.
Well, Taylor smiled and waved atElla, who I'm sure was over the
moon. Jason just as a knackfor spreading joy. It seems we have

(03:00):
three little ones of their room,you know, and so I'm sure he
knows how to make a kid's dayextra special. Now, Patrick Mahomes,
the Chief's outstanding quarterback, caught windof his teammates brother's colorful celebration and had
a great reaction. He said,that was an all time moment. But
at the same time, that's justJason being Jason, and Mahomes is right.

(03:22):
The Kelsey family is always their numberone hype squad, constantly living that
high energy life. Mahomes admitted Jasonhas pulled even wilder stunts before, though,
so who knows what he'll do ifthe Chiefs make it to the Super
Bowl. But not everyone was amusedby Jason's spirited behavior. Now this shocked
me, but Fox Sports commentator SkipBayless actually took to social media to chide

(03:44):
Jason, claiming he was just competingfor attention with Taylor Swift and trying to
promote himself. Oh the hypocrisy,because this is the same Skip Bayless who's
constantly pulling silly stunts to stir updrama about his supposed favorite team, the
Cowboys. Give me a break.Well, Football fans rightly called out Skip

(04:06):
for his completely unwarranted criticism of sucha joyful moment. I mean, Jason
was simply celebrating his baby brother's success. There was nothing self serving about it,
just pure unadulterated brotherly love. Onefan tweeted back Skip Bayless, criticizing
anyone for seeking attention or publicity hasto be the most ironic thing I've ever

(04:28):
seen. Another fan wrote, SkipBayless is the last person on earth who
should be criticizing others for doing thingsfor attention. Without desperate please for attention,
he'd be out of a job.Ouch but true. I'm sorry,
Skip, but you came out lookingpretty foolish on this one. Attacking a
man overflowing with family pride not agood look. Meanwhile, Jason remains one
of the most popular players in footballthanks to his zany antics and lively likable

(04:53):
personality. He may be heading towardsretirement soon from the Eagles, but after
seeing him literally jump for joy athis brother's football success, something tells me
Jason Kelts will remain in the spotlightfor years to come. One way or
another. That heartwarming Kelsey brother momentcertainly got me smiling and ready to seize
the day. So I hope youall are waking up with an extra spring
