What Jason Kelce yelled on every tush push

The “tush push” isn’t for the weak. Just ask Eagles All Pro center Jason Kelce , who’s mastered the art of the Brotherly Shove, which is Philadelphia’s signature short yardage play. Kelce — who is reportedly retiring after Monday’s 32 9 wild card loss to the Buccaneers — yells “F–k my life!” before every tush push play, according to Fox Sports NFL reporter Laura Okmin.

The 36 year old Kelce shared that with Okmin, who said Hurts also confirmed it. “My favorite quote of the season was one I couldn’t say on TV. Explaining the toll the tush push takes on you,” Okmin wrote in a post on X Tuesday. “@JasonKelce told me upon push, he yells, ‘FU@K MY LIFE!’ (Jalen Hurts confirmed).

Here’s to a man who also screams – and lives – ‘I LOVE my life’ just as passionately.” My favorite quote of the season was one I couldn’t say on TV.

Kelce is critical to the play’s success, while also sacrificing his body under a dog pile of opponents during the play. The Eagles’ success with the tush push made it one of the most controversial plays in the NFL.

In December, The Athletic reported that Commissioner Roger Goodell wants to see it removed from the game permanently. “Listen, ban it,” Kelce said on his “New Heights” podcast at the time. “At this point, I don’t care. I’m over the discussion about it. “… We were really good at running quarterback sneak before we did the push.

I don’t think that it’s a necessary part for it. It certainly helps, there’s no question about it. “I don’t have the energy to care whether it gets banned or not. We’re going to run it right now because we’re good at it and it’s effective and whatever they do next season we’ll figure out a way to do something at a high level and make it effective.” There might not be a next season for Kelce.

The future Hall of Famer told his teammates in the locker room after Monday’s season ending loss that he is retiring, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Kelce — who was set to become a free agent in March — also appeared to be crying during the final seconds of the game when ESPN cameras panned to him on the sidelines.

Veteran Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson shared with reporters that Kelce has “hinted” to teammates that this would be his final season, according to ESPN. Kelce, who previously contemplated retirement, returned for a 13th season on a one year deal after he announced last March that he wasn’t “f–king done yet!” He has yet to address his NFL future as of Tuesday..
