       Jason Kelce says he’s lost his Super Bowl LII ring… in a pool
       filled with chili

       is continuing to do Jason Kelce things even after retiring from the
       NFL.
       
       In the latest episode of the ‘’ podcast, which he does with his
       brother Kansas City Chiefs tight end , the legendary center revealed
       that he recently lost his in the most unlikely way possible: in a pool
       of chili.
       
       It occurred at the recent Great “Lombaby Games,” a live show hosted
       by the brothers which sees teams compete in ridiculous games. One
       challenge saw participants wade through pools of Skyline chili,
       searching for replica Super Bowl rings tied to socks.
       
       Crucially, though, one of those ‘replicas’ was actually Kelce’s
       genuine ring, which he won with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018.
       
       “I legitimately lost my Super Bowl ring in this event, they could not
       find it,” Jason said, with his brother Travis less than impressed.
       
       “We have still yet to find it. All of this stuff has been thrown
       away, so I think we can safely assume that my Super Bowl ring is now in
       a landfill someplace in the Cincinnati tri-state area. I didn’t think
       that would happen.”
       
       Jason said people had searched through the pools after the event, but
       that no one could salvage it from the three-way mess of chili,
       spaghetti and cheese.
       
       A metal detector was also used, but to no avail.
       
       “The only thing I can think of is, at some point, the sock got kicked
       out of the three-way and it made its way out of the pool and it was
       thrown away in some shape or form,” he continued.
       
       “The Super Bowl ring is officially gone. We’ve already put the
       insurance claim in, which I think the insurance company might have some
       things to say about whether they’re going to cover that.”
       
       Travis had little sympathy for his older brother, calling him an
       “imbecile” for willingly putting such a precious item into a large
       tub of chili.
       
       The exact cost of each a ring is generally kept secret and can .
       
       New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s Super Bowl LI championship
       ring was auctioned off for in 2020, while the for a ring once owned by
       a player is $230,401.
       
       A New England Patriots Super Bowl LI ring which had the name
       “Brady” on it – because it was made for a family member of
       quarterback Tom Brady – also fetched $344,927.
       
       “So ridiculous. Kids, if you’re watching at home, don’t do what
       Jason is doing,” Travis said, laughing as he listened to his brother
       try defend himself.
       
       Earlier this year, Jason announced he was retiring from the NFL in an
       emotional press conference.
       
       He had spent his entire 13-season NFL career with the Eagles, including
       the team’s 2018 Super Bowl win.
       
       With such memories locked away in his head forever, the seven-time Pro
       Bowler didn’t seem too bothered by losing the ring.
       
       “It’s just a hunk of metal. I’ll just have another one made, I
       think,” he added. “They can do that, right? Guess we’re gonna
       find out.”
