The Birds had a statement and video ready to go for Jason Kelce’s retirement announcement:

Excellent. Nicely done on the video and thoughtful words from Lurie, as always. We went over Kelce’s speech in the last post, but I really enjoy his ability to parse and package what fans and media have been trying to explain for years. Playing in Philly is a simple exercise in reciprocity. You put the time and effort in, you get the appreciation and respect in return. It’s such a basic concept, but a lot of people have difficulty grasping it. He certainly did not. Now it’s time to find a proper location for the statue.
