Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles center, has shed more light on the curious disappearance of his 2018 Super Bowl ring. In a recent episode of the ‘New Heights’ podcast, hosted by him and his brother Travis, Kelce shared new details about the incident that occurred during a game at their alma mater, the University of Cincinnati. The game, which involved diving into a pool filled with chili, spaghetti, and cheese to retrieve fake Super Bowl rings, turned into an unfortunate reality when Kelce’s actual ring vanished.
Despite using a metal detector to search the pool, the ring could not be found. Kelce expressed his disappointment, stating that he believes the ring was accidentally discarded during cleanup. He also revealed that they have submitted an insurance claim, but the outcome is uncertain.
Travis, Kelce’s younger brother and co-host of the podcast, jokingly remarked that Jason didn’t seem too concerned about losing the ring. However, Jason quickly countered, saying that he does care, even though it’s just a physical object. He expressed his intention to have a replacement made, as he believes it’s possible to do so.
During the podcast, comedian Andrew Santino, a guest star, expressed his surprise at how easily the ring was lost. Travis speculated that it may have been taken by a participant as a souvenir, an idea that Jason seemed to agree with based on ‘video evidence.’ However, in a subsequent post, Kelce clarified that he does not believe the ring was stolen, but rather accidentally thrown away.
The fate of Jason Kelce’s Super Bowl ring remains a mystery, but the brothers’ accounts and speculations have added to the intrigue surrounding its disappearance. As they continue to search for answers, the possibility of a replacement ring provides a glimmer of hope for Kelce to regain a physical reminder of his team’s historic victory.
