Jason Kelce’s rivalry with the Cowboys is still going strong even in retirement … check out the barb he threw Dallas’ way Monday night — it was so fierce, even his ESPN colleagues winced!!
The jab went down just before the Cowboys kicked off their “Monday Night Football” matchup with the Bengals … as Kelce and the rest of the “Monday Night Countdown” crew were previewing the game live from AT&T Stadium.
Scott Van Pelt was attempting to switch segments from ESPN’s “The Simpsons” coverage back to live action — when he informed the audience of where they were located.
“This is the state of Texas,” he said. “Arlington. Dallas.”
Suddenly, Kelce interjected out of nowhere … “Also, the butthole and armpit of America!”
Van Pelt, Ryan Clark and former Cowboys defensive lineman Marcus Spears quickly cringed at the comment — and shouted at Kelce … which caused the Eagles legend to immediately retract his words.
“I was joking!” he said. “It was a joke! It was a joke!”
All of the guys on set clearly understood Kelce was just messing around — and rifting off a comment Mina Kimes had made just moments prior.
Still, the words likely won’t endear Kelce to a Cowboys fan base that already loathed him following his 13-year career with the hated Eagles.
To make matters worse for Big D, the ‘Boys ended up losing in heartbreaking fashion to Cincinnati, 27-20 … making it a pretty rough Tuesday morning in the Lone Star State.
