Jason Kelce lost his Super Bowl ring in a pool of chili at 'New Heights' show
Rest in peace, Jason Kelce's Super Bowl ring.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center revealed he officially lost his ring from when his team beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52 when he and his brother, Travis Kelce, did a live show of their podcast "New Heights."
Last week, the Kelce brothers hosted a "New Heights" episode from their alma mater, the University of Cincinnati. During the show, the brothers hosted the "Great Lombaby Games," a competition between student-athletes and ordinary college students. One of the events of the competition was to find Jason Kelce's Super Bowl ring in an inflatable pool filled with Skyline Chili. The elder Kelce brother has been known to misplace the priceless piece of jewelry, but it was this competition that resulted in him losing it for good.
"There was an unfortunateness," Kelce said on Wednesday's episode of the podcast. "As you guys know, this game existed because I continuing to lose my Super Bowl ring. I don't even know if Travis still knows this, but I legitimately lost my Super Bowl ring in this event."
Kelce explained after the event, they had friends go through the chili to find it, but there was no luck.
"We have still yet to find it," he added. "All of this stuff has been thrown away. So I think we can safely assume that my Super Bowl ring is now in a landfill, someplace in the Cincinnati tri-state area. I didn't think that would happen."
Travis Kelce made sure to grill his brother for making such a costly mistake.
"You're such a (expletive) imbecile," he told him.
Jason Kelce said he has made an insurance claim for the ring, but his brother doubts he'll get anything in return after he publicly revealed how he lost it. Jason Kelce tried to say he didn't purposely lose it, which his brother argued isn't true.
"It's just a hunk of metal. I'll just have another one made, I think. They can do that, right?" Jason Kelce said.
If he never gets his Super Bowl ring back, Jason Kelce could maybe borrow one of his younger brother's three rings, including the one his team just won in Super Bowl 58.
