MOMENT THAT WE GOT THIS VIBE THAT HE’S GOING TO RETIRE AND HE’S VERY LIKE AND AGAIN, THIS IS PART OF A BROADER PLAN. IT’S PART OF A BROADER BUSINESS MODEL AND THAT’S FINE. YOU EITHER HAVE A PLAN OR YOU

DON’T THE KELSEY’S HAVE A PLAN ALL OF THEM MAMA KELSEY JASON KELSEY TRAVIS KELCE. THEY HAVE AGENTS. THEY HAVE MANAGED. THEY HAVE PR DIRECTORS AND THAT’S FINE. MY POINT IS THERE’S A PLAN WHEN HE’S GOING TO LET US ALL KNOW THAT HE’S

RETIRED AND HE’S GOING TO LET US KNOW WHAT HE’S GONNA DO NEXT AND I FULLY EXPECT HIM TO LAND IN THE AMAZON BOOTH BETWEEN KIRK HERBSTREIT NOW MICHAELS AND UNTIL SOMEONE TELLS ME DIFFERENTLY. THAT’S MY ASSUMPTION BECAUSE HE DID IT LAST YEAR

8 THEY DID THE KELSEY DOCUMENTARY WITH A NICE LITTLE TWIST ON WHAT THEY’VE BEEN DOING IT ALREADY HAS WORKED OUT WAS HAPPY AND SMILING WHEN JASON TELLS YOU IS IN THE THINK AT THIS POINT IN HIS LIFE LIKE HE’S REACHED HIS LIFETIME

LIMIT OF THREE-MAN BOOTH, BUT I THINK HE’LL MAKE THE EXCEPTION FOR JASONKELLY WHERE THEY’RE JUST HOW KIRK, YOU KNOW, YEAH STICK WITH COLLEGE AND WE’LL BRING IN JASON KELSEY IN YOUR PLACE, BUT I THINK THAT’S WHERE HE’S GOING

TO BE IF I HAD TO LAY ODDS FOR JASON KELSEY’S 2024 DESTINATION THE ONLY OPTION IN NEGATIVE TERRITORY TERRITORY FOR ME. WOULD BE KELSIE ON THE AMAZON BROADCAST FOR THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. YEAH, I THINK HE’S GOING TO BE VERY GOOD AT IT.

MIKE WHEREVER HE GOES. I WOULD RATHER PROBABLY SEE HIM IN THE BOOTH. AND THEN IN THE STUDIO. I JUST I THINK HE’D BE VERY GOOD AT AT IT. I MEAN, HE’S A GREAT AND WHEN YOU SEE HIM IN INTERVIEWS, I’VE INTERVIEWED

HIM A COUPLE TIMES. HE’S FANTASTIC LIKE MOST OFFENSIVE LINEMEN ARE BUT I THINK HE IS BEYOND THAT BECAUSE MOST ARE OFFENSIVE LINEMEN ARE VERY SMART. PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE THAT BUT THEY ARE AND SO HE’S ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT YOU WANT

TO TALK. TO AND YOU GRAVITATE TO IN A LOCKER ROOM, SO I WANT TO SEE MORE JASON KELSEY. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM ON WHATEVER BROADCAST WE’RE GOING TO SEE HIM ON AND AND I JUST THINK HE’LL BE

FANTASTIC AT IT AND I’VE BEEN WRONG LIKE II THOUGHT ROMO WAS GOING TO BE REALLY BAD AND HE CAME IN AND THAT FIRST YEAR. HE WAS REALLY GOOD. I THOUGHT YOU KNOW EMMITT SMITH MIGHT BE OR JASON WITTEN PROBABLY MORE THAN

WOULD BE PRETTY GOOD BECAUSE IT WAS SO GOOD AND INTERVIEWS. HE DIDN’T LAST VERY LONG AT ESPN SO I’VE BEEN WRONG ABOUT IT. BUT JASON KELSEY JUST FEELS GOOD TO ME ABOUT HOW GOOD HE WOULD BE IN THE BOOTH. I JUST THINK IT’D BE

FANTASTIC. YOU KNOW ON THAT POINT SINCE WE GOT SOME TIME TO KILL TODAY BECAUSE THERE REALLY ISN’T A WHOLE LOT OF NEWS GOING ON AND WE’LL GET TO IT SOON. I RAN INTO SANDY MONTAGUE ON THE FIELD BEFORE THE LIONS BUCKS GAME

AND TALK TO HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE. HE’S AGENT THAT REPRESENTED JOHN MATT, AND I TOLD HIM I WAS JUST HAVING THE CONVERSATION THE NIGHT BEFORE WITH AN NBC EXECUTIVE ABOUT GAME ANALYST BECAUSE I WAS ASKED YOU KNOW,

WHO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHOEVER AND I SAID IN MY MIND IN MY MIND IT GOES JOHN MADDEN AND EVERYBODY ELSE AND THERE’S NOBODY ELSE THAT’S SO BAD THAT YOU JUST TURN OFF THE TV WHEN YOU

TURN ON A GAME GREG GUMBEL MADE THAT POINT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOLE. ANNOUNCER ROULETTE, AND THIS PERSON’S GOING HERE AND THAT PERSON’S GOING THERE GREG GUMBEL SAID SOMEWHERE AND SOME INTERVIEW PODCAST OR WHATEVER.

NO ONE’S TUNING IN TO WATCH A GAME BECAUSE SO AND SO IS IN THE BOOTH NOW YOU MAY TURN IT OFF BUT THERE AREN’T MANY THAT THAT YOU YOU WOULD REGARD AS A POINT OF VIEW AND THERE ARE

ONE AND THAT’S WHY I SAID TO SANDY MONTAGUE WAS JOHN MADDEN EVERYBODY ELSE AND MY POINT. IS COULD JASON KELSEY DEVELOP INTO A CHARACTER LIKE THAT? AND YOU KNOW, JOHN MADDEN WAS SO SMART. HE WAS ABLE TO TAKE HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE GAME

AND INSTANTLY BOIL IT INTO. SOUND BITES THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON. WHO DOESN’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE INTRICACIES OF FOOTBALL COULD UNDERSTAND AND IT MADE THE GAME FEEL MORE INCLUSIVE NOT ALIENATING. THAT’S THE CHALLENGE FOR THE PEOPLE IN

THE BROADCAST BOOTH. YOU HAVE TO COME UP WITH WITH FIVE TO FIFTEEN SECONDS OF COMMENTARY THAT IS NOT ALIENATING OR YOU KNOW, YOU’RE TRYING TO SHOW HOW SMART YOU ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRULY THE SMARTEST DON’T FEEL COMPELLED TO

MAKE EVERYONE KNOW HOW SMART WE ARE AND TALK ABOUT DOUBLE A GAP BLITZES AND CROSSING THE FACE AND ALL THE DIFFERENT LITTLE TERMS THAT IF YOU REALLY AREN’T A CLOSELY. WATCHING DURING FOOTBALL AFICIONADO YOU KIND OF LIKE WHAT’S THAT?

WHAT WHAT WHAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT. I THOUGHT I THIS GAME. WHAT’S HE TALKING ABOUT? WHAT’S ALL THIS? JARGON? YOU GOT TO BE ABLE TO STRIP THE JARGON OUT AND JASON KELSEY GIVEN HIS YEARS OF PLAYING OFFENSE OF WINE

WOULD BE ABLE TO I THINK IF HE CAN DO IT AND AGAIN, THIS IS A SKILL THAT I’M SURE AT THIS POINT. HE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW THAT HE POSSESSES IF HE DOES BUT IF HE COULD TAKE THE DETAILS AND COMPLEXITIES OF

LINE PLAY AND MAKE THAT SOMETHING THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON CAN UNDERSTAND IN 5 TO 15 SECOND CHUNKS THAT WOULD PUT HIM. CLOSER TO MADDEN THAN EVERYBODY ELSE. HAVE WE HAD AN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN? WHO’S BEEN REALLY GOOD AT

TV? I LIKE NONE COME TO MIND RIGHT? I’M SURE THERE HAS BEEN BUT NOT COME TO MIND RIGHT AWAY AND YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT REALLY THE FACE OF THE NFL THE FACE OF A TEAM OR WHATEVER

BUT THEY ARE SOME OF THE BEST INTERVIEWS IN A LOCKER ROOM EVER. THEY’RE GREAT. MOST OF THEM ARE GREAT TALKERS TYRON SMITH COMES TO MIND IS ONE WHO IS NOT IN DOESN’T LIKE DOING IT BUT MOST OF THEM ARE REALLY REALLY

BE GOOD AT IT AND I THINK MOST OF THEM WOULD BE REALLY GOOD AT TV AND HE’S WON BECAUSE OF THAT. I JUST THINK HE HAS THAT I AGREE WITH YOU TO KIND OF BREAK DOWN THE GAME. SO YOU YOU UNDERSTAND

IT AS A FAN EVEN IF YOU AREN’T A BIG FAN OF THE GAME IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE THE GAME YOU CAN BREAK THAT DOWN AND SIMPLIFY IT BUT YET AT THE SAME TIME EXPLAIN WHAT’S GOING ON AND WHY THIS HAPPENED

AND AND I OFFENSIVE LINEMAN BECAUSE OF THAT I THINK WOULD BE GREAT AT REALLY BREAKING DOWN THAT GAME MIKE AND HE AND PARTICULAR BEING A CENTER OBVIOUSLY HAS ALL THE CALLS TO MAKE ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE AND IT’S DONE THAT FOR A REALLY

LONG TIME AND PLAYED FOR A REALLY LONG TIME AND BEEN REALLY GOOD AT IT FOR A REALLY LONG TIME. SO I THINK ALL OF THOSE THINGS WOULD MAKE HIM A REALLY GOOD FASTER IF THAT’S SOMETHING HE WANTS TO DO.

I THINK PART OF IT IS THE PERSONALITY OF THE OFFENSIVE LINE AND THIS IS SOMETHING SIMS AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN IS WIRED IN A CERTAIN WAY THAT HE DOES NOT SEEK ATTENTION. HE DOES NOT WANT THE

SPOTLIGHT. HE UNDERSTANDS HE HAS A ROLE THAT WHEN THINGS ARE GOING. WELL, THERE WILL BE LESS ATTENTION PAID TO HIM UNLESS HE’S BLOCKING GUYS INTO THE FRONT ROW OF THE STADIUM. YOU’RE NOT GOING TO NOTICE HIM. I’M REMINDED OF

BILL FRALICK. THAT WAS THE GUY THAT YEAH. BOUT THAT TIME WE BECAME AWARE IN THE 80S THE HUGE TACKLE FROM PITT WHO WENT ON I BELIEVE TO PLAY FOR THE FALCONS. HE’S NOW NO LONGER WITH US, BUT THE PANCAKE BLOCK WA

DON’T HEAR ABOUT THE PANCAKE BLOCK MUCH ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT DOING A LOT OF PANCAKING OUT THERE. IT’S JUST FENDING OFF THE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN WHO GENERALLY ARE BIGGER FASTER AND STRONGER THAN THE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN SO THEY GOT THEIR HANDS FULL.

THEY’RE THE ONES TRYING TO AVOID BEING PANCAKE BY THE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN, BUT MOST OFFENSIVE LINE. AND THEY’RE WIRED IN A WAY THAT THEY’RE NOT OUT THERE. THEY’RE NOT GREGARIOUS IN THE PUBLIC EYE THERE GREGARIOUS IN THE LOCKER ROOM AND AROUND EACH OTHER,

BUT IT’S ALMOST LIKE IT’S PART OF THE CODE THAT YOU DON’T STAND OUT JASON. KELSEY HAS EARNED A DISPENSATION TO THE DON’T STAND OUT. NO SUDDEN MOVEMENTS KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON, YOU KNOW, AND WE’LL SEE HIM FROM TIME TO TIME LIKE AT A

HOCKEY GAME CHUGGING BEERS LIKE THE TENNESSEE TITANS LYMAN. HEY, THERE’S A SEGUE INTO WHAT WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BE TALKING ABOUT. BUT REMEMBER THAT WHEN THE NASHVILLE PREDATORS WERE DOING WELL THERE. YOU KNOW DUMPING BEER DOWN THEIR GULLETS AND WE’VE GOT THE

DAVID BAKHTIARI WHENEVER WE EVEN HE WAS CHUGGING A BEER WHEN AARON RODGERS COULDN’T BUT BUT STILL YOU’RE RIGHT. I THINK THAT LIKE NICK MANGOLD WAS TRYING TO DO SOME STUFF IN THE MEDIA AT ONE POINT AND I DON’T KNOW

LIKE I DON’T REALLY SEE HIM OR HEAR HIM. SO I GUESS HE’S NOT ANYMORE ROSS TUCKER HAS BEEN IN THE MEDIA FOR A LONG TIME. HE WAS AN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN FOR THE BETTER PART OF A DECADE. SO THERE ARE SOME BUT THEY’RE NOT

MANY IT’S A RARE COMMODITY AND KELSEY. I THINK HE’S GOT THE PERSONALITY. HE’S GOT THE CHARISMA. THE KNOWLEDGE. HE’S GOT THE INTELLIGENCE. AND HE’S GOT THE POTENTIAL TO BE GREAT. LET’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS, BUT WE’LL GET THE FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT. HE’S RETIRED AT

SOME POINT. BUT UNTIL THEN HE’S GOING TO LIVE LIFE AND LIVE IT LARGE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP IN POSSIBLY BEYOND THAT LAS VEGAS FOR SUPER BOWL FIFTY EIGHT IF THE CHIEFS UP AND THE RAVENS ON SUNDAY AT M&T BANK STADIUM
