Philadelphia isn’t always the City of Brotherly Love, according to Kylie Kelce.
The Philadelphia native and wife of beloved former Eagles star Jason Kelce knows that the city has a history of disliking ESPN sportscaster Joe Buck, and got the chance to explain why when Buck, 55, was a guest on They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce on Saturday, January 11.
“You guys f—ing hate me, I know,” Buck said on the show, which films in Philadelphia.
Jason, 37, then made a mid-interview phone call to Kylie to get the details.
Kylie, who has been vocal about her loyalty to Philadelphia’s sports teams, explained, “Well, I was raised in a house where I was taught to dislike Joe Buck.”
“I mean… I was taught that by my father,” she continued. “I very much recognize the pattern in which it seemed as though he was always cheering for the other team.” But when Jason asked if she had any proof of that happening, Kylie said, “Of course not.”
When asked what she thinks of Buck currently, the mother of three (soon to be four!) jokingly said that she was “annoyed” to discover that he was nice when the two met during a Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Why do Philly fans hate Joe @Buck?

“It completely negated everything I’ve been taught,” Kylie said, prompting a laugh from the live audience.
Buck was a good sport about the disdain from Kylie and Philly fans. “I get it. I actually don’t take it personally,” he told Jason.
