Just one day removed from what proved to be an emotional afternoon as Jason Kelce announced his retirement from the NFL as only he can, both Travis and Jason will fittingly be in a place of comfort Tuesday night in their hometown of Cleveland for the Cavaliers' "Kelce Brothers" bobblehead giveaway night.

As most sports giveaways go, the special bobblehead night featuring the Kelce duo has been locked into the Cavs' schedule since before the season began. But the timing could not have worked out any better. Travis is coming off winning his third Super Bowl ring less than a month ago, and Jason is fresh off putting a bow on his outstanding 13-year NFL career. So there is much to celebrate for the Cleveland natives.
While bobbleheads are always a fun idea and serve as a great freebie for fans of all ages, the final product often tends to go in the total opposite direction of what was intended and straight toward nightmare fuel. For example, Max Scherzer, anyone? That one was truly the gold standard of bobbleheads we would very much prefer to pretend never happened.
However, we're pleased to say that the Kelce brothers bobbleheads could not have been executed to a greater degree of perfection.
Here's a closer look at the masterpieces, which will surprisingly go to everyone in attendance rather than the usual limited quantity placed on special collectibles such as this one:
Notice the attention to detail and the accuracy in general. Travis even has the hoop earring and fashionable pants to go along with his signature, meticulously trimmed beard. Then there's Jason looking, well, exactly Jason — complete with nondescript jeans and what may or may not have been intended to be "dad sneakers."
The only thing not working in favor of the Cavs with this giveaway is that the 48-12 Boston Celtics will also be taking the floor Tuesday night. With the Cavs' five-time All-Star Donovan Mitchell and shooting guard Max Strus already announced as officially out — and with Caris LeVert and Isaac Okoro both listed as questionable — there's a good chance that the only reason to attend this game will be to snatch up one of these pristine bobbleheads and give a warm ovation to a couple of hometown legends.
If you haven't noticed, the Celtics are white-hot right now. They've won 11 straight and are coming off a complete bludgeoning of the Warriors, winning by a preposterous 52 points. Glass half-full? Without the bobblehead giveaway and the Kelces in attendance, this featured game on TNT turns out to be a total dud with a lifeless crowd to pair with incessant complainants from Charles Barkley.
But, as we've learned, the commanding power of the continuously skyrocketing Kelce brand knows no bounds.
