If Jason Kelce Wanted To Take A Nap During Taylor Swift's Concert This Weekend, Then Jason Kelce Should Be Allowed To Take A Nap Without Anybody Busting His Balls

Daily Mail - Jason Kelce just couldn't shake off the fatigue at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert on Friday night.

Jason, whose brother Travis has dated Swift for the last year, headed to Hard Rock Stadium with wife Kylie and their daughters Wyatt, 5, and Elliotte, 3, to support the pop megastar at the first of her three Miami shows this weekend. Mom Donna also joined them at the concert.

Yet as Taylor belted out some of her greatest hits in front of thousands of adoring fans, Travis' big bro appeared to be getting some shut-eye in the stands.

A hilarious photo of Jason 'sleeping' at the gig went viral on Friday night, with fans left in stitches at the former NFL star's impromptu nap.

First off, I'm going to go out on a limb here and make the assumption that Kelce's former teammate Beau Alllen was there at the concert this weekend, in a VIP Box as a guest of Jason's. And that is how you repay him? Rough. 

Secondly, the only reason I am blogging this and drawing more attention to it is to defend Jason here. 

Isn't this the cornerstone in the list of benefits of reaching "retirement age"? 

I feel like napping, whenever, and wherever you damn well please has got to be 1:1 on the list of perks of being able to tell people "I'm retired". 

That and ripping ass in a room full of people and pretending nothing ever happened. You're old, you get a pass on a ton of stuff. 

In fact, my retirement list of perks off the top of my head goes like this -

1- napping: you get to take between 2-6 naps per day. Doesn't matter where either. Couch, Church, dinner table. The phrase "I was just resting my eyes" was invented by and for retired dudes.

2- forgetting peoples names and other important shit: this is the one I look forward to the most to be perfectly honest. By far my biggest weakness and something I feel like such a rude asshole about everytime it happens. When I'm old and retired though I can just pass it off and chalk it up to being old and retired. Everybody knows that's just how it goes.

3- farting: (See above)

4- saying "back in my day": this is extremely underrated. You can pretty much preface anything under the sun to somebody younger than you with "back in my day" and nobody can challenge you on it. 

5- Early bird specials and senior discounts: I don't know if Jason Kelce is taking advantage of these perks just yet but if he's not he should be. My second job ever was at this fancy restaurant called "The Cocke & Kettle" (I was a busboy), and you would have been mind blown by the amount of geezers banging down the door Monday-Thursday at 5pm. Place would be packed with senior citizens getting their hard earned social security money's worth of popovers and chateaubriand. There's also some mean deals for AARP members pretty much everywhere you go. And nobody knows how to sniff them out like old retired people. 

6- Giving zero fucks: This should be much higher on the list but I needed to couple it with the asking for discounts part. You ever notice how old people could care less what anybody thinks about them? There's no other word to describe it other than powerful. I think having that level of apathy for other people's opinions is like having a super power. No joke. They'll hold up a grocery store line demanding a price check on a stalk of celery or ask to speak to a manager because their coupon should never expire and couldn't care less. Because it's about principle. And they have all day. It's awesome. In fact, part of me thinks when you're old and retired, it's a lot harder than you think to fill your day so going out into public looking for reasons to get hot and bothered and dispute things is just a great way to kill some time.

So I say everybody needs to let Jason Kelce live. Or in this case, nap. Guy put in the work, (in fact he's still technically "working" on tv), so he can do whatever he damn pleases. Plus, by this point, he's probably seen Taylor in concert 15 times now so he gets another pass for that reason. 

Kelly did a good job blogging all about this weekend's slate of shows in Miami, attended by everybody under the sun pretty much, right here.

p.s. - never in a million years did I imagine I would come around on and end up liking Jason Kelce. But here we are. When him and the Eagles shocked the Patriots in that Minneapolis Super Bowl I was shell shocked for like a week. Seeing him show up at the Eagle's parade, in that ridiculous costume

p.p.s. - I saw this on Friday and was perplexed. Kyle Long is one of the nicest humans ever, but also one of the scariest looking people in the world. I cannot imagine being in his seats and telling him to beat it. Had to have been a mom or dad whose kids would have made their life hell a million times worse than whatever Long could have done to them.
