Iconic Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce was then scolded by autograph dogs appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! How he handled the situation speaks to the class of the NFL legend.
Videos have surfaced of Kelce being yelled at by autograph dogs after the show. He gets into his car as the dogs try to guilt trip him into signing autographs, pointing out how “people are dying out here (on the streets).”
One signature dog in particular was humiliating for Kelce. “Kiss my fucking ass. You’re not a special person,’ they shouted. “F**k the signature, it’s the attitude.”
Finally, Kelce got out and approached the crowd. The signature dog continued to taunt him and yelled at Kelce before the former center finally got out of his car. He pointed out how Morgan Freeman and Harrison Ford have signed autographs for him before.
“I’ll put down the gloves at once,” said the dog like the Eagles legend approached.
Kelce said, “I’m not trying to be rude; I’m not trying to be mean.” Every time he tried to say something, the signature dog would shout over him. Despite this, he kept a cool head before finally signing.
Suddenly the signature dog changed his tune. “God bless you, sir,” they said. “We supported you for this. I always laughed and liked you. I’m sorry, because I really love you. I’m not shy; I’m not a punk. I have love for you.”
Finally, Kelce signed his item. The signature dog claimed to “love everyone” on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! studio. “We greet them with courtesy, honesty and love,” he said.
The video ended with the signature dog apologizing to Jason Kelce, saying, “Thank you, and I’m sorry for talking like an ass.”
