Jason Kelce continued his epic retirement bender over the weekend, traveling to Pairs, France with his wife Kylie to mix it up with United States fans and athletes – including the Women’s Field Hockey and Rugby teams.
Dad strength didn’t hold up for Jason Kelce on this one. I would have to imagine that if he was in game-shape, that he would have won this with ease but since his retirement, Kelce has shed 20+ pounds and is more of a cardio guy now.

Maybe that’s why Kelce is being accused of cheating in the match? That left hand is certainly questionable and was pointed out by pretty much everyone who watched the video on social media, including his opponent Nicole Heavirland on Instagram.
Table grab or not, let’s all be thankful that Jason Kelce avoided an arm wrestling match against Ilona Maher. Maher has been going viral across social media for the US Women’s Rugby Sevens after the squad DOMINATED their first two pool play matches on Sunday.
They beat Japan 36-7 and then Brazil 24-5. In both matches, Ilona Maher put the fear of god in any opponent that attempted to slow her down. Check out this Derrick Henry stiff arm against Japan. Maher wouldn’t even need the Hall of Fame level of downfield blocking that Jason Kelce built a career from, right?
The US Women’s Rugby team secured a spot in the quarterfinals following two wins on Sunday. If Maher continues to play with that much speed and power, Team USA will be tough to beat.
