Jason Kelce Lost His Super Bowl Ring in a Massive Pool of Chili

Jason Kelce has been keeping busy since announcing his retirement from the NFL in March. The former Philadelphia Eagles star has continued to show up to his team's practice facility for workouts and has been focused on losing weight in his new free time. He also co-hosts his podcast New Heights with his brother, fellow Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce.

On April 11, both Jason and Travis were in their native Ohio for a sold-out live New Heights show at the University of Cincinnati. Part of the evening included the Lombaby Games, which consists of an array of wild events the brothers participate in. Among these was a challenge to sift through a massive pool of chili to find replicas of Jason's 2018 Super Bowl ring.

The elder Kelce admitted that this event was inspired by a real-life tragedy. "As you guys know, this game existed because I continually lose my Super Bowl ring," he explained. "And I don't even know if Travis still knows this, but I legitimately lost my Super Bowl ring in this event."

"They could not find it," he added. By his recollection, some ring replicas were added to the pool of chili, making finding the real one that much more difficult. "There's actually only one real ring in there, which was my Super Bowl ring," he remembered. "We have still yet to find it."

"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," he concluded matter-of-factly. "But, yes, the Super Bowl ring is officially gone."

He wasn't too worried about being compensated for it, though. "We've already put the insurance claim in," he said, acknowledging that "the insurance company might have some things to say about whether they're gonna do that" given he'd just spilled the beans (no pun intended) on what really happened to it.

If the real ring ever does turn up, it would certainly be worth a fortune, if anything just for the crazy journey it's been on.
