Jason Kelce recently revealed that he lost his Super Bowl ring in a rather unusual manner. The retired Philadelphia Eagles center told a hilarious story about the incident on his latest “New Heights” podcast.
The Eagles beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, 41-33. Philadelphia was led by two Pro Bowl selections in Tackle Lane Johnson and Guard Brandon Brooks, along with Kelce, the all-pro center.
You may recall the Super Bowl parade. Kelce was dressed as a mummer and delivered a speech replete with expletives and a passionate defense of his team.

Jason Kelce Lost His Super Bowl Ring WHERE?
We’re just going to put it all out there. Jason Kelce lost his Super Bowl ring in a pool of chili.
No seriously, chili.
What’s worse? Apparently, he never found it either.
The incident occurred during the Great “Lombaby Games,” a live show hosted by Jason and his brother Travis Kelce, where teams compete in ridiculous events.
The games included a challenge where participants had to dig through a pool of Skyline chili to find Jason’s Super Bowl LII ring. Replicas were also scattered throughout.
But nobody found the actual ring, period.
“I legitimately lost my Super Bowl ring in this event,” Jason told Travis. “They could not find it. … We have still yet to find it. All of this stuff has now 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.”

Not Too Upset
In telling the story, Jason Kelce doesn’t seem all that broken up about losing his only Super Bowl ring in a vat of chili – and “spaghetti and cheese.”
“It’s just a hunk of metal. I’ll just have another one made, I think,” Kelce said. “They can do that, right? Guess we’re gonna find out.”
Well, according to the Pro Football Hall of Fame it’s got some metal for sure – 10-karat white gold to be exact – but the ring is also adorned with a total of 219 diamonds and 17 rare green sapphires.
Jason also said he’s filed an insurance claim but lamented they “might have some things to say about whether they’re going to cover that.”
Travis essentially responded with ‘Ya think?’ He then called his brother an “imbecile” for using his actual Super Bowl ring as a reward in a challenge involving a pool of chili.
I don’t know. Those are two big pools of chili. But it doesn’t seem like it should have been that hard for a team of people to sift through it to find the sock with Jason Kelce’s missing Super Bowl ring.
Is it possible one of the contestants pocketed it while diving beneath the surface? Either way, Travis’s assessment of his brother’s actions seems spot on.
