Can We Please Be Normal? The Kylie Kelce Incident Is Inexcusable
I get it. You see your favorite radio host walking down the street and all you want to do is run over to them, say hi, get a picture taken, and maybe even an autograph… that is a joke people. That however is the reality for athletes across the country especially in a crazy sports town like Philadelphia.
Here are the common stories you hear from run-ins with athletes from the fan’s perspective. Either the athlete is super cool with it, stops and takes the picture, and maybe even talks to you for a few minutes. Other times the athlete says “not today” because they may be in a public area and would rather not get swarmed by hundreds of more requests.
When you hear about the run-ins, I feel like we normally hear positive stories. Even if the athlete doesn’t stop for long, just the quick fist pound is enough to make an impact on someone’s life. I still talk about the time Nick Foles gave me a fist pound at Fan Fest last year. I haven’t washed my hand since. But if Foles decided to leave me hanging… I would not turn into a monster.
Jason and Kylie Kelce Have An Unfortunate Run-in
What happened in Margate this weekend is inexcusable. Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie were walking into a restaurant for dinner and someone recognized them. At this point, it is hard to not recognize the famous couple, especially down the shore where they walk around as if they were you and me. But here is the deal, they aren’t you and me. No one is running up to us for pictures.
If someone, by all reports, respectfully turns you down for a photo because they are trying to spend quality time as husband and wife, calmly say that you understand and let them go on their way.
DO NOT do what the woman did by confronting them and then threatening that they would “never be allowed back in this town ever again.”
We love that the Kelce family lives a public life down the Jersey Shore. That is why we say, “Jason Kelce is one of us!” While that may be true, the bigger they become, and the more run-ins like this could change how comfortable they are walking around in public.
I am already excited for this person to be outed. I am excited for the pre-written apology. I am excited for her to blame the alcohol that got the best of her. We have all been there, I get it, but feeling a sense of entitlement that you have the right to a selfie to put on your confrontational Facebook? That is something I cannot relate to.

Ranking all 17 Games on the Eagles Schedule in 2024
2 – Week 13 @ Ravens
Like I said, this is personal. I have a TON of family in Balitmore. There is also a big Lithuanian community in Baltimore. I need Philly to win this one. It is also a great quarterback battle and a late season matchup between two great teams which helps put this so high on the list.

Eagles vs Bengals was my Super Bowl pick for last season. It won’t be my pick this year, but I do think the Bengals bounce back in 2024. Between the quarterback battle and my prediction that didn’t come to fruition last year, this was a game I was excited for when the opponents first came out.
