Eagles’ Jason Kelce Yelled Three-Word NSFW Quip on Every ‘Tush Push’ Play
Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has become one of the most likable and hilarious NFL players thanks to his successful New Heights podcast with his brother and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. On their podcast, Jason has repeatedly talked about his team’s unstoppable “tush push” play–where players push quarterback Jalen Hurts from behind on a quarterback sneak—but never revealed this hilarious detail about the play to the public.
After his team’s elimination from the postseason Monday, Fox’s Laura Okmin shared that Kelce told her he yells, “F--- my life!” during the push on the popular play every single time they run it. Hurts confirmed to her that the All-Pro center yells just that.
My favorite quote of the season was one I couldn’t say on TV. Explaining the toll the tush push takes on you, @JasonKelce told me upon push, he yells, “FU@K MY LIFE!” (Jalen Hurts confirmed) Here’s to a man who also screams - and lives -

In a previous podcast episode, Kelce said that if you do the play right, the center will be at the bottom of the pile and was clear it was not the most fun experience. But the future Hall of Famer may have run the play for the last time. After his team’s 32–9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday in the wild-card round, it was reported that he told his teammates he was planning to retire after 13 seasons, 193 starts and seven Pro Bowl selections.
