Kylie Kelce hits out at fans 'drooling' over husband Jason
Kylie Kelce has clapped back at fans who are 'drooling' over her NFL legend husband Jason Kelce, making sure they knew the now-ESPN commentator is off the market. The mother of four spoke on her podcast about those superfans of her husband that take it a little too far for her liking. Jason and Kylie Kelce have been married since 2018 and are the parents of four daughters - Wyatt, 5, 4-year-old Elliotte, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, who was born earlier this year. 'I think that people are posting what they would think is a thirst trap of my husband. We've got some people in these comments - they are f***king around, they are f***king around because they're saying things like how fine my husband is, or that they would like a piece, or they're doing the little drool emoji,' Kylie said. 'I'm going to need you to sit down, put your tongues back in your mouth and be respectful. That man is a father to my children. If I were not trying to be a responsible adult, I would also be commenting those things under my husband's thirst traps.' 'That's mine, so I'm going to need you to get your drool comments out of there. You guys can do some heart eyes - what I will say is that I don't read comments often, but I have seen a fair amount of people, they're falling for the thirst traps, but it's actually not on the market. That man is, he mine.' The mother of four spoke about those superfans of her husband that take it a little too far Kylie Kelce was left disturbed last week by an Eagles fan's revolting tattoo of her husband, where a team logo is in place of the lineman's manhood and the behemoth is in the nude. Joseph Moreira works at Pale Horse Tattoo Studio in Philadelphia and posted the tattoo from a female client's arm on TikTok, which went viral. In the tattoo, Jason is seen wearing cleats, knee pads, elbow pads, and his wrists are taped. Everything else is exposed with the future Hall of Famer in the buff. 'Excuse me???' Kylie commented on the TikTok, possibly in hopes of the couple's three daughters not seeing the imagery. 'I'm not sure if I should be offended or flattered. I think it's more flattered, it's a generous bird, good sized head,' Jason added on social media. Moreira told the idea for the tattoo started as a bet with a fan of one of Philadelphia's arch rivals. 'My client came to me for this traditional Jason Kelce tattoo. She's a Giants fan and was betting against the Eagles,' Moreira said. 'Part of the bet was if the Giants lost the game, she would get this Jason Kelce pin-up tattoo.' 'She told me the idea and that's the design I came up with. Even though the Giants lost, she was excited to get the piece and it's honestly one of my favorites.'

ESPN Links Eagles To Possible Signing of Asante Samuel Jr.
ESPN Links Eagles To Possible Signing of Asante Samuel Jr. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Eagles didn't seem to bother much with the idea of signing Jaire Alexander to help out at cornerback, as the oft-injured standout just joined the Baltimore Ravens. And Jalen Ramsey of the Miami Dolphins? There hasn't been much trade-dump movement there. Advertisement So, how about former Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Asante Samuel Jr.? Appearing on 97.5 The Fanatic, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler recently made that push. "Asante Samuel Jr., who is coming back from a neck injury, was one of the top free-agent corners,'' Fowler said. "He probably won't sign until late July. I do know the Eagles have thought about that one, and that's on their radar as well." We know about the injury. We also know about the pedigree, as Asante Samuel Sr. spent four standout seasons with the Eagles from 2008 to 2011, earning three Pro Bowl nods and becoming one of the league's most feared ballhawks. Advertisement His son has big-time talent, too. In 2021, the Chargers selected him with the No. 47 pick of the NFL Draft. Still just 25 years old, Samuel Jr. could, in theory, step right in and help as a rotational contributor. But the injury gets in the way of general manager Howie Roseman making that move now. And despite ESPN's brand, Fowler has a reputation for throwing ideas against the wall to see if they'll stick (in this same radio conversation, he connected the Eagles to Alexander, a bad guess). But ultimately? Samuel Jr. can fit the blueprint here with patience.

Eagles Trade Could Flop As Receiver Being Phased Out
Eagles Trade Could Flop As Receiver Being Phased Out originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Eagles have a well-earned reputation as a franchise that makes daring acquisitions ... with big payoffs. Advertisement Jahan Dotson — with a future uncertain heading into the 2025 season — has not been one of the "big payoff'' names. Philly first declined his fifth-year option in April, making him a free agent after this season. So he might not have a long-term future here. And what about the short term? The Eagles traded for Dotson from the division rival Washington Commanders a year ago, sending a third-round pick and two seventh-rounders for the former first-round selection. It seemed a steep price. But what if Dotson realized his potential here? But no. In 17 regular-season games, he managed just 19 receptions for 216 yards and no TDs. Advertisement He is capable of more; as a rookie with Washington, he caught 35 passes for 523 yards and seven touchdowns. But here? A.J. Brown (27) and DeVonta Smith (26) are the top guys. Johnny Wilson, at 6-foot-6 and 235 pounds, may be coming on. And the same with Ainias Smith from the Texas A&M Aggies. Terrace Marshall Jr., Avery Williams, Elijah Cooks and Danny Gray are also available to fill out the roster. Training camp will matter here. Brown and Smith do plenty, and Philly can rely on Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts in the running game and more. But a third receiver was the idea of that trade ... Advertisement And right now that trade looks like a rare flop from GM Howie Roseman.

Phillies' Nick Castellanos' Wife Jess Calls Out Fans Amid Benching, 'Watch the Game'
Phillies' Nick Castellanos' Wife Jess Calls Out Fans Amid Benching, 'Watch the Game' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies fanbase saw one of their fan-favorite players become the center of attention, and not for a good reason. In the middle of the series against the Miami Marlins, Phillies manager Rob Thomson benched Nick Castellanos for inappropriate comments made after getting pulled for a defensive substitution late in the game. Advertisement Afterwards, Thomson and Castellanos put it behind them. After Castellanos made a game-winning catch in right field in his first game back since his benching, there were plenty of comments about his defense. Devan Kaney of 94 WIP made a post on Twitter/X that said, "Ok Casty! Proving he can play RF just fine." A little while later, Jess Castellanos, Nick's wife, commented on that post from Kaney, which called her and others questioning Nick Castellanos out for their criticism of his defensive performance. "414 straight games no errors," Jess Castellanos posted. "National league record holder. Eyes off the computer, watch the game." Advertisement In his first game back, Castellanos made a great play to win the game, which prompted this response from Jess. While Castellanos does have a solid record of not committing errors, with how games are scored in today's game, it's not as impressive a stat. Scorers give out hits significantly more frequently, and it doesn't account for plays Castellanos can't get to a ball due to a poor read or jump. Jess's mention to get their "eyes off the computer" is about the advanced defensive metrics, which paint a very negative picture of Castellanos' defense. Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos (8) fields a fly ball against the Toronto Blue Jays in the sixth inning at Citizens Bank Ross-Imagn Images According to Baseball Savant's Fielding Run Value, Castellanos is the worst defender in the league with a negative nine FRV. By Outs Above Average (OAA), Castellanos is the third-worst defender in the league with a negative eight OAA. Advertisement Between the two stats, Castellanos is graded out as the worst defender in baseball. His defense doesn't allow him to rack up errors because he isn't able to get close to as many balls as other outfielders. His range, arm, speed, jump time, and glove work are all below average at best. He's not the best defender, but if he does get to a ball, he typically makes a play. That's his strongest trait. The issue is that he can't get to a lot of balls in right field. While Castellanos returned to the field, his wife, Jess, took to social media to defend him amid the fans' complaints over his defense. With his defense still an issue, there will likely be plenty more moments throughout the year that will spark heated debate. Whether it leads to Jess defending Nick on social media again is left to be seen.
