Breaking news here.

I read the first part of this and almost had a heart attack, via Kelce’s Instagram page:

Kelce:

“I am fully excited for the 2020 season and will be out there with my teammates, coaches and hopefully fans this coming season. Enough media members and fans have reached out if I am playing next season, and I just wanted to make an announcement so I can stop getting asked.”

Ah, good. If you’re a linebacker or cornerback in space, and you see Jason Kelce rumbling downfield, better get out of the way.

Serious question though –

Will we have arm wrestling in a post-Coronavirus world? Will the participants wear gloves? Purell before every match? I guess we’ll find out.
