Jason Kelce, rocking a beret, is continuing to have one of the greatest starts to retirement anyone has ever seen. He’s over in Paris enjoying the Olympics and beating Team USA rugby players in arm wrestling. The guy can’t lose right now:

What a battle! Old man strength be damned. Maybe when he was in peak physical condition getting ready for the season this would’ve been an unfair fight. Now Kelce is in his broadcaster era. He’s slimmed down for TV. There’s no more bicep curls and shoulder shrugs. It’s all HIIT workouts, spin, yoga, and lemon water to flush out the bad chemicals. Life comes at you fast when you realize Kelce and your mom have the same exact workout routine.

Now many are saying he cheated when he grabbed the corner of the table with his left hand:

Don’t tell that to Jason:

Is he correct though? Technically in a sanctioned arm wrestling event there’s a peg for competitors to hold onto.


In this case Kelce is using the table as a peg so I think we can deem this legal. The ironic thing is in Rule 3.3.1 of the International Federation of ArmWrestling (IFA) Handbook you’re not allowed to have your free arm laying on the table, which Jason’s competitor is illegally doing:

How the turn tables.

Here is Kelce arm wrestling a guy in Delco back in the day pulling the same exact table move:

I’d like to imagine Kelce let out an alpha male scream right in this guy’s grill after the camera cut. The other guy looks like he knows he’s about to be prey:

Looks like after he retired from football he’s retired from retiring from arm wrestling. Great to have him back. Hope Monday Night Football adds this to the broadcast. Have Jason Kelce arm wrestle a random fan during the pregame every single week. Ratings bonanza:

P.S. Someone needs to set up a bout between him and Ilona Maher. Must watch TV:
