Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce reignites the bitter rivalry between Philadelphia and Dallas, taking a ruthless aim at the Cowboys' homestate during an ESPN broadcast.

AceShowbiz - During an ESPN broadcast of "Monday Night Football" featuring the Dallas Cowboys, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce proved the animosity between the two teams remains strong.
As commentator Scott Van Pelt introduced the Cowboys and their location, "Arlington. Dallas," Kelce interjected, "Also, the butthole and armpit of America!"
The comment drew a swift reaction from Van Pelt and cohosts Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears, a former Cowboy. Spears declared it was "time to go" while Cowboys fans took to social media to express their displeasure.
Kelce tried to walk back his remarks, "I was joking! It was a joke! It was just a joke because of what Mina said," referring to the animated ESPN broadcast "The Simpsons Funday Football," where commentators Mina Kimes and Dan Orlovsky had joked about Springfield, the fictional town in "The Simpsons," being the "armpit of America's buttcrack."
Meanwhile, Kelce's rivalry with Dallas dates back years. He has previously displayed a bumper sticker of an Eagles fan urinating on the Cowboys logo on his Tesla Cybertruck.
The animosity stems from the bitter division rivalry between the Eagles and Cowboys, which has existed since 1961. Kelce, now retired from the NFL, continues to reside in Philadelphia and regularly attends Eagles events. He will host an ESPN late-night show.
