‘Big D–k’ Nick wasn’t just a nickname for Nick Foles.
Jason Kelce referenced the apparently large genitalia of the ex-Eagles quarterback during his retirement speech on Monday.
Kelce called it quits after 13 years of playing center for the Eagles, getting emotional on numerous occasions.
During one part of the speech, he referenced the famous “Philly Special” play from their Super Bowl 2018 win over the Patriots.
“I won’t forget Nick Foles having the biggest game of his life, on the biggest stage possible — and the biggest d–k on the team, going up to Doug Pederson, and asking for the Philly Special,” Kelce said.
“And Doug Pederson having the biggest balls in the stadium … to say, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.'”
With the Eagles on offense, leading the Patriots 15-12, at fourth-and-goal from New England’s 1-yard line right before the end of the half, Kelce snapped the ball directly to running back Corey Clement, who handed the ball to tight end Trey Burton, who threw it to a wide-open Foles for the touchdown.
The Eagles ultimately won the game, 41-33, and Foles threw for 373 yards and a touchdown.
Elsewhere in his retirement speech, Kelce thanked the city of Philadelphia for all of its support over the years.
“No one celebrates their own like the city of Philadelphia,” Kelce said. “Athletes become demigods in this city.”
He read from a prepared statement and explained why he gravitated towards the game of football.
“I’ve been asked many times, why did I choose football, what drew me to the game, and I never have an answer that gets it right,” Kelce said.
“The best way I can explain it is what draws you to your favorite song, your favorite book. It’s what makes you feel. The seriousness of it. The intensity of it. Stepping on the field was the most alive and free I had ever felt.
“There was a visceral feeling with football unlike any other sport. The hairs on my arms would stand up. I could hit somebody, run around like a crazed lunatic, and then get told, ‘Good job.’”
