    According to Jason Kelce, his championship ring is “now in a landfill.”

    (Gray News) – Retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce said his Super Bowl ring is gone.

    In Wednesday’s episode of his New Heights podcast, Jason Kelce broke the news to his brother, Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce, that he does not know where his Super Bowl ring is.

    “The Super Bowl ring is officially gone,” Jason Kelce said.

    Jason Kelce said he loaned his Super Bowl ring for a competition titled “Jason Lost His Ring” during the New Heights live event at the University of Cincinnati on Thursday. The game was created because he is known to “continuously lose” his Super Bowl ring.

    During the competition, teams competed to find Jason Kelce’s Super Bowl ring among decoys hidden inside two inflatable pools filled with chili.

    “The video does not do justice just how disgusting this was,” he said.

    Travis Kelce agreed and said “it smelled so bad” and was “disgusting.”

    After discussing the game, Jason Kelce told his brother that the Super Bowl ring is lost.

    “I don’t even know if Travis knows this, but I legitimately lost my Super Bowl ring in this event. They could not find it,” he said.

    Jason Kelce said they even used a metal detector to try and find it.

    “We have still yet to find it. All of this 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,” he said.

    Jason Kelce said he did not expect to actually lose his ring in the game and already submitted an insurance claim for the ring but is not sure if it will be covered.

  • Tim Duncan wasn’t a big fan of Michael Jordan

    Tim Duncan wasn’t a big fan of Michael Jordan

    The San Antonio Spurs will now be transitioning this offseason with the loss of their anchor Tim Duncan. He served for 19 amazing years with the same organization that drafted him number one overall in 1997 and the city couldn’t be more thankful for 5 titles. Imagine adding one more ring for his legacy like Michael Jordan did, cementing his legacy as arguably the greatest basketball player in league history.

    But before Duncan was legendary, back when he was still a young buck, he took a hipster-like approach when speaking about MJ. In a nutshell, he wasn’t a fan of Jordan’s “because everybody else is” in an interview in 1998 with Dan Patrick.
    150209130725-michael-jordan-driving-layup-archive-tim-duncan-1998-all-star-game.1200x672.jpg
    Though Jordan is a legendary sports icon across the globe, Timmy wasn’t even that big of a fan of his game.

    “I’m just somebody that isn’t that impressed by him. There really isn’t anybody in the world that I’m impressed with.”

    Such a classic Timmy quote.

    One of the more reserved players in the league isn’t even that impressed with a six-time champion who averaged 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game. Winning TWO three-peats with the Chicago Bulls franchise who even gave him a statue commemorating his accomplishments. How can you not be impressed by that?!

    If he didn’t take off time to pursue his professional baseball career, who knows how many more championships MJ could’ve added to his legacy.

    Two players that Duncan was impressed with was power forward Shareef Abdur-Rahim of the Vancouver Grizzlies at the time and point guard Stephon Marbury of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Abdur-Rahim went on to average 18.1 points and 7.5 rebounds per game for his stellar career. Marbury went on to star in the league as one of the best point guards averaging 19.3 points and 7.6 assists per game for a number of teams.

    It takes a lot to impress the greatest power forward the game has ever seen but that’s just Duncan’s personality. Yes the hoopla over Jordan during that time was immense and could’ve gotten annoying to some players, but kids are still reacting to seeing MJ years after his retirement as if he was on his way to play one more game for the Bulls. The man is an icon who has recently been involved in having his voice heard on the matter of the police violence that has swept this nation.

    Regardless, both of these two players are legends in themselves for what they have brought to their respective teams. Building their organizations up as the premiere team to beat in the league for years on end. There is no way both the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs could have won a combined 11 championships without the help of MJ and TD.

    But that interview was in 1998 and I’m sure that Duncan has changed his stance on Jordan. It just begs the question, what does Michael Jordan think about Tim Duncan? That would be interesting to hear about.

    Your move Mike.

    Michael Jordan Biography

    Michael Jordan is considered by most experts to be the greatest basketball player of all-time.

Turning to professional basketball after his junior year in college, he became the greatest player in the NBA (National Basketball Association). In 1991, Jordan finally achieved his greatest thrill, leading the Chicago Bulls to an NBA Championship, and completing his Triple Crown of titles – NCAA, NBA, and Olympic. Jordan eventually led the Bulls to six NBA titles (1991-1993, 1996-1998). In 1992, Jordan also played on the Dream Team which won the basketball gold medal at Barcelona. He could also have played in 1996 but chose not to do so. Jordan retired briefly at the beginning of the 1993-94 NBA season, taking a short fling at playing minor league baseball, but returned to basketball at the end of the 1995 season. He retired again after helping the Chicago Bulls win their sixth NBA title in the spring of 1998. However, Jordan came out of retirement to play for the Washington Wizards in the 2001-03 NBA seasons.

  • Top 10 Greatest Athletes Of All Time

    Top 10 Greatest Athletes Of All Time

    With so many Sports fields and ages to weigh up, the query of sport’s comprehensive GOAT will always prove an impossible one.

    There is always a debate in our minds that who is the greatest athlete of all time? An athlete is deemed successful by the digit of awards they have acquired or the number of scores they have gained throughout their career.

    However, the distinction of an athlete is identified by their capacity to charm and enlighten people to partake in their concerned area.

    Several sportsmen have been acknowledged as the greatest athletes of all time in the entire world, due to their occupied influential skills and qualified sportsmanship.

    These athletes have strengthened the stature of sports among the all-around public. Also, they have also impacted society and people to believe out of the box and be a part of the sports franchise. Let’s go ahead and check out the top 10 greatest athletes of all time.

    The list

    10 Roger Federer

    Roger Federer is a Swiss professional tennis player. He was rated world No. 1 by the Association of Tennis Professionals for 310 weeks, including a record 237 consecutive weeks, and has spent as the year-end No. 1 five times.

    He has won 103 ATP singles titles, the second-most of all time after Jimmy Connors, including 20 Grand Slam titles, a record eighth men’s singles Wimbledon titles, and a record six year-end championships.

    Switzerland’s Federer is an all-time great and one of the most consistent players in tennis history. Injuries have limited his appearances in recent years.

    9 Bo Jackson

    Bo Jackson is an American former professional baseball and American football player. He is one of the best athletes of all time.

    He’s the only person to be named an All-Star in both baseball and football. In 1989 and 1990, Jackson’s name became comprehended beyond just sports through the “Bo Knows” advertising campaign, a series of advertisements by Nike, starring Jackson alongside musician Bo Diddley, facilitating a cross-training athletic shoe named for Jackson.

    Bo Jackson – Society for American Baseball Research

    The guy was a force to be reckoned with on both fields. Bo still holds the record for most runs for 90+ yards from scrimmage with two.

    A prolific goalscorer and one of the sport’s finest players, Messi is considered one of the best footballers ever by many sources and pundits; his playing style involves combining elements of both individual dribbling and passing from midfield with creating opportunities for him to score from close range using his weaker left foot (focusing on curving shots or “chip” shots) or from long range with his stronger right foot (using powerful strikes).

    He was the world’s highest-paid footballer for five years out of six between 2009 and 2014 and was rated the world’s highest-paid athlete by Forbes in 2019 and 2022.

    Ruth is considered one of the greatest sports heroes in American culture and is believed by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time.

    He is unquestionably the greatest baseball player of all time. He holds a number of Major League records, but what makes him truly great is his range—he was a dominant pitcher and outfielder before he became one of the best hitters ever to play the game.

    “Shаq defіnіtely ѕmokіng weed”: NBA fаnѕ teаr Shаquіlle O’Neаl араrt аѕ he mаkeѕ outlаndіsh tаke on Mісhael Jordаn’ѕ Dreаm Teаm I ’92

    Providing fans with some hot takes is what NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal usually does when he gets a chance. Throughout his career as an analyst, he’s given some takes that turned fans’ heads around. This time, O’Neal has done it again with his take on the 1992 Dream Team.

    O’Neal wasn’t part of the Dream Team that took over the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. However, he was part of the second iteration of the Dream Team in 1994, which participated in the FIBA World Cup. That USA team went 8-0 with the big man taking home the MVP award.

    But little do fans know that he was considered to be included in the 1992 version of the US team. Had he been selected, the team would’ve boasted a pool of elite big men with O’Neal, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone and Charles Barkley.

    Recently, O’Neal went to his show “The Big Podcast with Shaq,” where he talked about the Dream Team. The former LA Lakers superstar shared that he was almost part of the first iteration of the iconic national team. He also went on to say that the ’94 team can beat the ’92 team.

    “Dream Team 2 could’ve beaten Dream Team 1,” Shaq said.

    Shaquille O’Neal was part of two Dream Teams

    During the 1990s, the USA was reclaiming its spot as the best basketball country in the world. Which is why they assembled the most talented collection of stars to bring them back to relevance. At that time, the US basketball program started a trend of having Dream Teams.

    Shaquille O’Neal had the pleasure of playing for two iterations of the team. The first was in 1994, while the next one was in 1996. During the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics, O’Neal took part in representing his country in basketball.

    He was joined by Barkley, Malone, Robinson, Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Reggie Miller, Hakeem Olajuwon, Gary Payton, Scottie Pippen, Mitch Richmond and John Stockton. The group had an 8-0 record and took home the gold medal.
