Jason Kelce has been living his best life in retirement. He hosts one of the most popular podcasts in the world. He’s secured a job as an analyst on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown. And apparently, in his spare time, he’s the most reckless tailgater known to man.
Prior to the Philadelphia Eagles game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Kelce was spotted on top of an RV enjoying the pregame atmosphere with his Eagles brethren.
Unfortunately for one individual trying to capture the occasion with an expensive-looking camera, the structural integrity of the RV didn’t meet the moment.
This cameraman just made a new air vent in the RV

Fear not! Kelce was available before Monday Night Football to provide a positive update about the accident.

“It started out fun. I saw this woman on the top of this RV and I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll join ya,'” Kelce began explaining. “But the camera! How much is the camera,” fellow analyst Ryan Clark butted in. “Well the camera’s expensive. Somehow, and he goes through the skylight and shower. He’s half in the shower. The camera and the cameraman, everyone can rest assured, are okay.”
Chaos seems to follow Kelce to whatever parking lot he goes. Earlier this season, Kelce chest bumped an Eagles fan at a tailgate while on Monday Night Countdown, resulting in multiple ligament sprains and a bone contusion for the fan. Clark seemed to concur with the premise that Kelce needs to watch where he goes.
“You actually may not need to tailgate anymore, bro,” Clark joked. “Oh, I actually do need to,” said Kelce.
Apparently, the cameraman in question is also the pinnacle of professionalism. Despite literally falling through the roof of an RV, the cameraman picked his rig back up and continued to record the moment through the newly added skylight. Props to you, cameraman!
