Jason Kelce Responds to Comparison of Childbirth and NFL’s “Tush Push”

Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce’s Daughter Finnley Makes Podcast Debut 2 Days After Birth

Jason Kelce would take football over giving birth any day.

The former Philadelphia Eagles lineman—whose wife Kylie Kelce recently gave birth to their fourth daughter Finnley—shared his thoughts on which is more difficult: a certain “grueling” football play or childbirth.

For context, the NFL is currently considering the ban of the popular “tush push,” a play which sees the quarterback pushed by his teammates into the offensive line when minimal yardage is needed for a first down, resulting in a crammed pile of players. So when retired quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick—who shares kids Brady, 18, Tate, 16, Lucy, 14, Maizy, 12, Zoey, 9, Ruby, 8, and Jake, 6, with wife Liza Barberposed the question to Jason online, he didn’t even need to wait for the snap.

“Oh man, hate to say, but it isn’t even close,” Jason wrote in an April 3 post to X (formerly Twitter). “I’ll take an entire career of tush pushes over giving birth.”

The 37-year-old—who is also dad to Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, and Bennett, 2, with Kylie—added, “F--k that.” 

And Jason is quite the expert on the tush push. After all, the Eagles popularized the play, with many in the sports community cheekily renaming it to the “brotherly shove” after the team’s success.

But these days, Jason is more focused on diaper duties after welcoming his baby girl with Kylie on March 30. In fact, the ESPN analyst had some fun with little Finn’s birth announcement, chiming in on the comments section of an Instagram post featuring his daughter’s pictures, "Does that first photo have a filter on it?"

For her part, Kylie also finds ways to insert humor into her role as mom. During her most recent Not Gonna Lie podcast episode, the 33-year-old debuted her newborn on the show and made light of the fact that she had just given birth.

“I slept a grand total of maybe four hours last night,” Kylie said through laughter, “and I just gave birth to my fourth daughter literally two days ago.” 

She added, “Aw, s--t.”
