    Jason Kelce to bartend again in Sea Isle City to raise money for Eagles Autism Foundation

    He’s bested Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania, cruised the Philly area in his new Tesla Cybertruck and lost his Super Bowl ring in a kiddie pool of chili, and now, we know Jason Kelce’s next retirement move: celebrity bartending.

    This hobby is actually an old one for the former Eagle, who has slung drinks in Sea Isle City for the past three years to raise money for the Eagles Autism Foundation. He’s set to return for another round at the Ocean Drive bar on Wednesday, June 26.

    Kylie Kelce teased the return on her Instagram Story, posting photos tagged at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City and a short video of an empty bar with the text “IYKYK 6/26.” The Ocean Drive confirmed the date, but further details are not available at this time.

    Last year’s event, which included a raffle and auction, raised more than $375,000 for the Eagles Autism Foundation. The slate for the 2024 bash may be TBD, but if past festivities are any indication, you could chug a beer with Kelce — or at least watch him enter the scene with a tray of Jell-O shots and the “Rocky” theme on blast.

  • Travis and Jason Kelce in heated debate over Lionel Messi’s spell in MLS

    Travis and Jason Kelce in heated debate over Lionel Messi’s spell in MLS

    Travis and Jason Kelce disagree on Lionel Messi

    Travis and Jason Kelce have clashed over whether it’s as captivating to watch Lionel Messi play for Inter Miami as it was when he dazzled at Barcelona.

    Lionel Messi, 36, has an illustrious history with Barcelona, boasting 10 La Liga titles and four Champions League victories, not to mention being the club’s all-time top scorer with 672 goals before his departure in summer 2021.

    Messi made the move to Miami last summer. Although no longer universally acknowledged as one of the globe’s premier football talents and approaching the twilight of his career, he continues to draw massive audiences in the US.

    On the latest instalment of their New Heights podcast, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis and his brother Jason, who hung up his NFL boots after a stellar 13 years with the Philadelphia Eagles, locked horns over Messi’s stint in Major League Soccer.

    “I’ll tell you what though, Messi played in Kansas City this past weekend,” Travis said on the show. “He played in Arrowhead, actually.”

    Travis was referring to Miami’s 3-2 victory at Sporting KC, in which Messi assisted Diego Gomez’s goal and scored. Yet Jason replied: “It’s not the same being in the MLS.”

    Messi made the journey from Argentina to Barcelona at 13, and became a first-team player four years later. Post Barcelona, he played for Paris Saint-Germain for two years, during which he pocketed two Ligue 1 trophies.

    Messi left European soccer to play in the United States

    Travis implored his brother not to “s*** on the MLS”. Jason replied: “I’m not sh****** on MLS. I’m saying it’s not international soccer. When you think of soccer, I know there’s all these wonderful clubs overseas, there’s the MLS, I think of the World Cup, that’s all I’m saying. It’s international play and then everything else.

    “I didn’t say I won’t watch it (MLS). I’m just saying it wasn’t the same level… Seeing Messi play for Miami is not the same as when he played in Barcelona or when he was at the world stage at the World Cup. That’s all I’m saying – it’s not the same.

    “Seeing Michael Jordan on the golf course is not the same as seeing Jordan in a Bulls uniform. You see one person on the biggest stage possible, with the biggest team in history. This is the best soccer player at the World Cup. That’s different than seeing Lionel Messi tearing it up in Kansas City, just saying.”

    For many years, Messi struggled to replicate his club form at international level. Argentina lost the World Cup final in 2014, the Copa America final in 2015, and the Copa America final again in 2016. Yet Messi eventually broke his international drought in 2021 at the age of 34 when Argentina won the Copa America. Messi, an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, then won the World Cup in 2022.

    Travis told his brother: “Dude, it’s the same – it’s Lionel Messi,” Travis said. “It was the same as when (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic went f****** crazy in LA (for LA Galaxy). It’s great, it’s electric. He made the MLS fun to watch.”

    But Jason hit back. He explained: “I’m not saying it’s not good for MLS, I’m not saying it’s not great, I’m saying it’s not as good. I’m not saying it sucks that he’s playing in Miami, it’s awesome for the MLS, it’s great for American soccer. I’m just saying it’s nowhere near when he scores a goal for Argentina and the entire country is erupting and cheers because it means more to Argentina than any other sport on the planet.”

  • There was a time in NFL Draft history when Travis and a teary-eyed Jason Kelce could have played together on the Kansas City Chiefs

    There was a time in NFL Draft history when Travis and a teary-eyed Jason Kelce could have played together on the Kansas City Chiefs

    Travis Kelce could spend his entire career with the Kansas City Chiefs.

    Travis’ older brother, Jason, recently retired from the NFL as a fan favorite after spending all 13 of his pro seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.

    With the NFL Draft returning, college players will soon bounce across the country as they join their new pro teams.

    But the draft is annually filled with what-if moments, as critical decisions — often made at the last second — affect players, coaches and teams for decades to come.

    In 2017, Patrick Mahomes could have been drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals at No. 9.

    Instead, Cincy took wide receiver John Ross — who soon became a first-round bust — while Mahomes went to the Chiefs one pick later and now has three Super Bowl trophies.

    Back in 2011, Jason was a young offensive lineman fresh out of the University of Cincinnati.

    And a major what-if moment occurred in NFL history.

    Two teams showed the most pre-draft interest in Jason

    “I knew I was a day three guy,” he recently told NFL Network.

    There almost was a world where the inseparable Kelce brothers were even closer

    After six long rounds and 190 picks, Jason had bowled enough with his family and was still waiting to be picked before the seventh round was over.

    “Round four passes. Round five passes,” Jason said. “At this point, we’re done bowling.”

    He finally had his name called by Philly at No. 191 overall, and never left the Eagles franchise until he retired at 36 years old.

    “My father’s got tears rolling down his face,” said Jason, recalling the emotional moment of being drafted on the final day.

    But another team also kept an eye on Travis’ big brother as the rounds mounted and the last pick approached.

    “I had two teams really interested,” Jason said. “Kansas City and the Philadelphia Eagles.”

    The Chiefs held the No. 199 pick in 2011.

    If the Eagles had passed on Jason at 190, Kansas City could have taken him — and eventually reunited the Kelce brothers in the NFL two years later, when Travis became the No. 63 pick for the Chiefs.

    More than a decade later, Jason still remembered his draft feelings.

    “It’s the greatest moment of my life … outside of my kids being born,” Jason said. “It’s the realization that you’re about to play in the NFL.”

    The draft keeps getting larger and larger — and so do the crowds.

    What used to occur in a hotel room with names written on a blackboard has become a massive three-day event televised on multiple networks at once.

    More than 275,000 fans attended the first round on Thursday in downtown Detroit, watching Caleb Williams go No. 1 overall to the Chicago Bears and the Atlanta Falcons stun the league by drafting Michael Penix Jr., after recently signing veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins to a $180 million contract.

    The huge crowd set a NFL Draft record, breaking the all-time day one mark of 200,000 set in 2019 by Nashville, Tenn.​

    The Ocean Drive told CBS News Philadelphia the event will happen on June 26 but didn’t provide any other details.

    Last year, Kelce was joined by his brother, Travis, and they raised more than $380,000 for the Eagles Autism Foundation. At the moment, it’s unclear if Travis will return this summer, but 2023’s event also featured some of Jason Kelce’s friends and Eagles teammates, including guard Landon Dickerson and former Birds great Trent Cole.

    Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie, teased the event on her Instagram story from the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City with “IYKYK” and “6/26” as the caption.

    Since Jason Kelce officially announced his retirement from the NFL in March, he’s been living his best life.

    Kelce also threw out the first pitch at the Philadelphia Phillies game alongside his former teammate, Fletcher Cox, jumped into the ring at WrestleMania 40 with Lane Johnson, and most recently, said he lost his Super Bowl ring in a pool of chili.

    Jason Kelce Says He Doesn't Wear Underwear

    Jason Kelce often goes commando. On the latest episode of his and brother Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, Jason revealed why he forgoes underwear most of the time.

    “I do not wear underwear, and I don’t wear underwear based on comfort,” Jason said, after Travis revealed one of the podcast’s sponsors to be an underwear company. “The reason I don’t wear underwear is because I find it unnecessary and problematic to the freedom that my boys like to enjoy.”

    As for if he’ll ever come around to underwear, Jason insisted, “I don’t think that’s going to change.”

    Jason shared that there’s one exception to his no underwear rule, and that’s when he’s working out.

    “My thighs chafe,” he said, “so I… do wear compression shorts when I’m running or doing physical activity.”

    Also during the episode, Jason revealed that he lost the Super Bowl ring during a New Heights event in Cincinnati. During the event, teams faced off for a game in which they competed to locate Jason’s ring inside two inflatable pools filled with chili.

    “This game existed because I continually lose my Super Bowl ring,” Jason explained. “And I don’t even know if Travis still knows this, but I legitimately lost my Super Bowl ring in this event. They could not find it.”

    “We have still yet to find it,” he added. “All of the stuff has been thrown away, so I think we can safely assume that my Super Bowl ring is now in a landfill someplace in the Cincinnati/Tri-State area. I didn’t think that would happen.”

    Jason noted that he’s already put in an insurance claim for the ring, quipping, “I think the insurance company might have some things to say about whether they’re gonna cover that.”

    Jason won the ring with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018. Earlier this year, the beloved center, who’s a six-time All Pro honoree, seven-time Pro Bowl selection, and future Hall of Famer, announced his retirement from the NFL.

  • Jason Kelce Earns Emmy Nomination for ‘Kelce’ Documentary

    Jason Kelce Earns Emmy Nomination for ‘Kelce’ Documentary

    Jason Kelce better make some room in his trophy case. He may soon be adding a Sports Emmy.

    The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on Tuesday announced that Jason’s Prime Video docuseries, Kelce, has been nominated for two Sports Emmy Awards for Outstanding Long Documentary and Outstanding Editing — Long Form. In the former category, Kelce is going up against Netflix’s The Deepest Breath, Vimeo on Demand’s Full Circle, Netflix’s The Saint of Second Chances and Showtime’s Stand.

    In the latter category, Kelce is up against YouTube’s Freeride Skiing, HBO’s Hard Knocks: Training Camp with The New York Jets, Netflix’s Under Pressure: The U.S. Women’s World Cup Team and Golf Channel’s Unredeemable.

    According to Prime Video, the recently retired Philadelphia Eagles star “started documenting what he thought was his final year in the NFL. Instead, the film intimately captures the most epic year in Jason and Travis’ life, from starting a hit podcast together, Jason’s wife Kylie being pregnant with their third child, and ultimately meeting each other at the Super Bowl. All while Jason grapples with the decision of his retirement.”

    Kelce became an instant hit for Prime Video, as it became the streaming service’s most-watched documentary film ever in the United States following its September 2023 premiere. Jason ultimately decided to retire following a marvelous career that included a Super Bowl win. He was also a six-time All-Pro honoree, seven-time pro Bowl selection, and he’s undoubtedly headed for Canton, Ohio, as a future Hall of Famer.

    During his emotional retirement announcement in front of his parents, wife Kylie and brother Travis, Jason opened up about the “immense heartbreak” of losing Super Bowl LVII to his brother’s Kansas City Chiefs, a historic moment that saw for the first-time ever two brothers playing against each other for the Lombardi Trophy.

    Neither Jason nor Travis addressed the Sports Emmy nomination when the latest episode of their popular New Heights podcast dropped on Wednesday, but it’s likely because the episode was recorded before the Academy announced the nominations on Tuesday.

    Either way, congrats!

    The Philadelphia Eagles star also opens up about connecting with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson at the event.

    Former NFL player Jason Kelce reacts following a match during Night One of WrestleMania 40 at Lincoln Financial Field on April 06, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
    Jason Kelce’s time in the gym is paying off — even though he took some heat from his wife in the process. The Philadelphia Eagles alum addressed his recent surprise appearance at Wrestlemania on Wednesday’s episode of New Heights, admitting that wife Kylie Kelce couldn’t resist teasing him while he prepped.

    Speaking with his brother and podcast co-host, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Jason couldn’t help but marvel at his physique in the ring.

    “I’m not gonna lie, my biceps are looking good,” Jason happily gushed over an image of himself at the event. “Look at that picture.”

    Travis agreed and asked what kind of weights Jason has been lifting these days.

    “We were using a lot of bands,” Jason shared. “And Kylie kept making fun of me because I was really obsessed with how my biceps looked.”

    “I’m proud of you,” Travis replied. “They look great, man. They look like my thighs.”

    Jason explained that since he was planning to “go in there with a cutoff” he needed to “get those things poppin’.” The moment of body positivity comes amid a transformative time for the former NFL center, who has said that he hopes to lose weight since announcing his retirement from the Eagles last month.

    “I’m in the process right now, I’m retired. I played my whole career 295. I’m trying to get down to 250, 260,” Jason said on a previous episode of the podcast. “My goal is two pounds every week, lose it. I want to lose it, but maintain my muscle mass. I’m trying to monitor my protein, my carbs, my fats, make sure that I’m hitting at least one pound per body weight.”

    Jason was back on his luchador business on April 6 when he made a surprise appearance with teammate Lane Johnson at WWE Wrestlemania 40. It was a star-studded affair in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with Snoop Dogg, John Cena, and even Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson all showing up.

    After the event, Jason took to Instagram to share a collection of pics and videos including one with Johnson. “WHAT A NIGHT,” the caption reads.

    On Wednesday, Travis asked Jason about his time with The Rock.

    “I’ve met him before, actually,” Jason revealed. “He came to the Eagles facilities training before one of the WWE events earlier in my career. He probably doesn’t remember that, but I remember it because I think everybody remembers when you meet The Rock for the first time.”

    He continued, “But it was awesome to see him again, obviously under different pretenses this time. I’m just happy he’s back involved in WWE in a more meaningful way. He’s been such an explosive personality for the wrestling world and obviously he’s gone on to, I don’t want to say bigger and better things, but I mean, to become the superstar that he is outside of the wrestling world — I think selfishly everybody in the wrestling world is happy to see The Rock back.”

    For his part, Travis was deep in his nostalgic feels after seeing his brother in the ring.

    “God damn, that just took me back to all those f**king sleepovers when we were 10 years old,” he marveled. “I can say that it was fun as hell watching you up there, knowing that we used to f**k around as WWF/WWE f**king jabronis as kids. It was cool to see you up there having some fun.”

    At one point during the show, Jason ripped his shirt off in what is becoming something of a habit for the 36-year-old. On New Heights, he explained why he’s trying to not make it his thing in the long run.

    “I was trying to keep my shirt on because I’m really developing this, I feel like I’m stealing Bert Kreischer’s bit,” he said, referencing the comedian and 2 Bears, 1 Cave co-host. “I don’t want to steal your bit, Bert, but I feel like this was an acceptable time to have that shirt off.”

    Travis joked, “You’re just a big bear. That s**t’s hilarious.”

    Elsewhere on Wednesday’s New Heights, Jason revealed how he “legitimately lost” his Super Bowl ring and Travis addressed his headline-making appearance at Coachella with girlfriend Taylor Swift over the weekend.

    The episode comes after Travis spoke exclusively with ET about the upcoming return of his iconic Kelce Jam music festival next month.

    “This is gonna be a whole bunch of fun. You know I’m down to bring down the electricity,” he said of the event, which will include performances from Lil Wayne, Diplo and 2 Chainz.

    “It’s gonna be an absolute blast this year,” he said. “… We’re keeping it fun, we’re keeping it lighthearted. We got some new things in terms of entertainment, might have a drone show or something like that. It’s gonna be extremely exciting.”

    As for whether Jason will be “out of the house” for the festivities, Travis said, “I’m tugging on his arm to try and get him out to KC for it… I know a familiar face will always get somebody excited, so hopefully we can get my brother and everyone there.”

  • Jason Kelce Clarifies Comments About ‘Video Evidence’ Surrounding Super Bowl Ring Loss

    Jason Kelce Clarifies Comments About ‘Video Evidence’ Surrounding Super Bowl Ring Loss

    The Philadelphia Eagles star offers an update on an episode of ‘New Heights’ with his brother, Travis Kelce.

    There may be more to the story when it comes to Jason Kelce’s lost Super Bowl ring.

    On Wednesday’s episode of the New Heights podcast, Jason offered a brief update on the situation while receiving some light ribbing from his younger brother and co-host, Travis Kelce.

    First, Travis joked about Jason’s apparent lack of remorse for losing the priceless item in a pool of chili during the New Heights live event at the University of Cincinnati.

    “He doesn’t give a f**k that he just lost his Super Bowl ring,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end told podcast guest Andrew Santino as they referenced the incident.

    “I care,” Jason shot back. “It’s not like I’m, like, happy I lost it.”

    He continued, “Yeah, I care.”

    Santino then asked how it happened, noting, “That seems like such a hard thing to lose.”

    Travis chimed in first, declaring, “Dude, you don’t lose it. Somebody steals it.”

    Jason seemingly confirmed the theory, adding, “We have some video evidence,” before trailing off.

    UPDATE: Jason took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to clarify that the “video evidence” he was referring to appears to confirm that the ring was, in fact, tossed in the trash.

    “I do not think it was stolen,” he wrote. “Based on the video evidence we do have I think it was accidentally thrown in the trash while cleaning up.”

    In a police report of the incident, obtained by ET, the value of the lost ring is estimated to be $100,000.

    Last week on the podcast, the legendary Philadelphia Eagles center said he suspected that his ring “is now in a landfill” after he loaned it out for use during the New Heights live show. Jason’s habit of misplacing his ring over the years has been so well documented, producers created a competition titled “Jason Lost His Ring” during the first annual “Lombaby Games.”

    During the event, teams competed to locate Jason’s Super Bowl ring among decoys hidden inside two inflatable pools filled with chili. After watching a clip of the game, Jason told Travis that his real ring was never found.

    “There was an unfortunateness,” he began. “As you guys know, this game existed because I continually lose my Super Bowl ring. And I don’t even know if Travis still knows this, but I legitimately lost my Super Bowl ring in this event. They could not find it.”

    Jason said that producers went back to scour the pools again the following day to no avail. They even tried using a metal detector to locate the missing item, but the strategy failed due to “traces of iron” within the chili itself.

    “We have still yet to find it,” Jason said. “All of the stuff has been thrown away, so I think we can safely assume that my Super Bowl ring is now in a landfill some place in the Cincinnati/Tri-State area. I didn’t think that would happen.”

    Jason won the Lombardi Trophy in 2018 when the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. In the years since, he has cemented his status as the greatest center in the history of the NFL. The 36-year-old is a six-time All Pro honoree, seven-time Pro Bowl selection, and future Hall of Famer.

    Last month, he announced his retirement after playing 13 seasons — his entire professional career — with the Eagles.

    “Yes, the Super Bowl ring is officially gone,” he said last week. “We have already put the insurance claim in, which, I think the insurance company might have some things to say about whether they’re gonna cover that.”

    Showing their brotherly bond, the siblings went on to squabble about the legitimacy of the entire situation.

    “One-hundred percent they’re gonna have — especially if you’re gonna tell the entire world how you lost it,” Travis said.

    “Well, I didn’t lose it, first of all, I knew exactly where it was,” Jason fired back. “It’s the same as if I left my house and somebody came in my house and took it. It’s the exact same scenario.”

    “Jason,” Travis replied, “you didn’t put that Super Bowl ring in a sock and put it in the pool. You didn’t do that.”

    Jason reasoned, “It doesn’t matter where I put it! I can put it wherever I want as long as I know where it’s at, and I knew where it was at. Somebody at some point messed with my Super Bowl ring, which I’m fine with. I mean, it’s just a hunk of metal. I’ll just have another one made. I think. They can do that, right?”

    Travis, playfully annoyed, conceded. “I don’t know, Jason. Probably.”

    “I guess we’re gonna find out,” Jason added.

    There was no mention of Taylor Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department, on the latest episode of New Heights, despite speculation that Travis — and his family members — may have inspired lyrics for two of her heartwarming love songs.

    On “So High School,” which is featured on the second half Taylor’s surprise double album — The Anthology — the 34-year-old songstress sings about the joy of a new romance that has her feeling like a teenager. The lyrics hint at a lover with a wicked sense of humor, not unlike her current boyfriend.

    “I feel like laughing in the middle of practice again / To that impression you did of your dad again,” she sings on the song’s second verse. For his part, Travis has been known to deliver impressions of his dad, Ed Kelce, on New Heights.

    Elsewhere on the album, Taylor drops a slew of football references on her song, “The Alchemy.” Fans were quick to hail it as a love song for Travis, taking note of one particularly detailed lyric.

    “Shirts off, and your friends lift you up, over their heads / Beer stickin’ to the floor, cheers chanted ’cause they said / ‘There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league’ / Where’s the trophy? He just comes, running over to me,” she croons.

    Notably, Jason stole the show by ripping off his shirt during Travis’ game against the Buffalo Bills in January. Jason later revealed that was the very first time he had ever met Taylor.

    A source told ET on Monday, “Travis is so supportive of the entire album and loves that he is a part of Taylor’s story. He is a Swiftie through and through and is very proud of her.”

    Football is a family sport, whether you love to watch it with your kids or play it with your siblings at family get-togethers. In fact, many of the sport’s biggest names got into it alongside their family members.

    The most recent, popular example is Kansas City Chiefs tight-end, and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce – and his brother Jason Kelce, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles. Fans may even be familiar with their New Heights podcast.

    But the Kelce brothers aren’t the only siblings to have success in the NFL – they might not even be the most famous.

    Here are some of the best known brothers of the NFL.

    Donna Kelce Gushes Over ‘Fun’ Bond With Daughter-In-Law Kylie Kelce: ‘We’re Very Similar’ (Exclusive)

    Football fans have quickly learned Jason Kelce‘s wife, Kylie Kelce, is the real MVP of the family — and her mother-in-law, Donna Kelce, was a fan from the start.

    “She is just one of those individuals that takes everything onto herself. She doesn’t need any help,” Donna, 71, exclusively told Us Weekly of Kylie, 31, while promoting her partnership with Heluva Good!Donna took Us inside her bond with Kylie, revealing what brought the pair together when they met. “I think women’s sports, we both love that. A lot of just really fun things,” she explained of her relationship with the former field hockey player.Donna and her daughter-in-law have more in common than their love of athletics. “We’re just very similar in our likes and dislikes and how we feel about the world and everything that goes on in the United States,” she continued. “So yeah, we pretty much have the same temperature when it comes to what’s going on.”

    The dynamic duo even have a shared interest in entertaining. “Our family has always been very small, just the four of us,” Donna said of sons Jason, 36, and Travis Kelce and their dad, Ed Kelce. “That’s what it was [like] growing up. She has an extended family that’s quite large, so [they’re] used to entertaining, used to making big, big meals and a lot of go-to recipes, for sure.”

    Jason and Kylie tied the knot in 2018 and share three daughters: Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 10 months. Kylie was 38 weeks pregnant with the pair’s third baby when Jason and the Philadelphia Eagles faced off against Travis, 34, and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. (The Chiefs ultimately defeated the Eagles in the February 2023 championship.)

    While NFL devotees have been fond of the Kelce family for years, their story has charmed a new fanbase thanks in part to Travis’ romance with Taylor Swift. The couple sparked a romance after Travis publicly praised Swift’s Eras Tour on his “New Heights” podcast in July 2023. Two months later, Swift, 34, was spotted cheering on the Chiefs from a VIP suite in Arrowhead Stadium with Donna.

    Swift has made several appearances at Chiefs games since — even bringing along some of her famous friends when the team played the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium — but fans have yet to see her and Kylie interact. Donna previously hinted during an October 2023 podcast interview that Kylie likes to be closer to the field, which she confirmed herself before the Chiefs vs. Eagles game in November 2023.

    “I’m a stands girl,” Kylie explained. “I love sitting in the stands, cheering with the fans even if it’s in an opposing team’s stadium.”

    Jason and the Eagles are out of the running for LVIII after losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 32-9 on Monday, January 15, in what was reportedly the last game of his 13-year career. Kylie, Donna and Ed were all in attendance.

    While fans won’t be getting a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl this year, the Chiefs are still fighting their way through the playoffs. Donna is ready for whatever the post-season brings, thanks to the Heluva Good! Big Game Countdown Calendar. Starting Tuesday, January 16, sports lovers can enter to win a limited number of the calendars, which feature a seven-day countdown with various dips and other surprises (including one of Donna’s favorite recipes) for the big game.

    “I really like the jalapeño cheddar, and I use that in a seven layered Tex-Mex dip recipe,” Donna told Us of the “tasty” Heluva Good! flavors. “They’re made with real cream and real milk, so they’re very nutritious as well as really good to put on the table and be proud of.”
