A man seeking a Jason Kelce autograph on Thursday night went ballistic on the former NFL star ... calling him a "p***y" and screaming out "f*** you" repeatedly, but Travis Kelce's big bro admirably deescalated the situation -- and the tense moments were all captured on video by TMZ Sports.

00:00Jason Kelsey learned his lesson. Um, there was an incident last night
00:05where he was leaving the Jimmy Kimmel show in Hollywood and
00:09I gotta tell you an
00:12Autograph seeker went insane on him. Absolutely insane
00:16And you know that when you see this video that there's one thing Jason is thinking about
00:20That whole mess that played out at Penn State
00:24Yep, when he came face to face with an aggravated agitated fan
00:29Not even a fan just a guy who was harassing him about Taylor Swift and his brother Travis
00:34And he bit the bait then and he took the bait that time this time
00:37I guess you could say he took the bait again, but his approach
00:42Much much. I think he learned his lesson. He did something
00:47really clever and and by the way what you're about to see the person in this video is
00:51Arguably worse than that kid at Penn State. Oh, yeah
00:54You ain't nobody special. You're some bad guy that thinks he's on some pedestal. Don't be a d**k. I'm with it, my whole f**king family. I don't care. F**k the autograph. It's the attitude.
01:06Let me explain. May we please?
01:08I have a habit of not signing for people that follow where I'm going.
01:12We're here at it. We're not following you. We get every guest that comes here. Is that public information?
01:16Morgan Freeman did it with a busted hand.
01:19That's a hundred times bigger than your sorry ass. I'll take you on any time and I'll be running the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
01:26Watch for me.
01:29F**k you. Morgan Freeman, Harrison Ford have the time, but you don't. F**k you.
01:36I don't want. Yeah. Yeah. Let's rumble. I'll put the glove down right now.
01:42Yo, put them on.
01:44Grab the s**t.
01:46I'm not trying to be rude.
01:48You're not trying to be mean.
01:50You are being mean.
01:52People are dying out here.
01:54You are being mean.
01:56God bless you, sir.
01:58We supported you before this. I always laughed and liked you.
02:01You shouldn't have apologized.
02:03I apologize.
02:05Wow.
02:07There's the guy.
02:09And his tone changed.
02:11So, look.
02:13They actually spoke to each other.
02:15Look, he shook his hand.
02:17Or he signed something for him.
02:19He learned his lesson.
02:21Who did though, Harv? The autograph seeker?
02:23Jason.
02:25What's the lesson though? To give in to bad behavior?
02:27No, what he learned was
02:29don't go off on people
02:31who are going off on you.
02:33Which is what he did at Penn State.
02:35This time, got in the car,
02:37thought about it,
02:39came out, became a peacemaker,
02:41won the guy over,
02:43knowing there are cameras there.
02:45Jason learned his lesson from last time.
02:47Don't you wish he would have just gotten in the car
02:49and driven away though?
02:51After that guy says all of those horrible things
02:53to him, to go and give the guy what he wants
02:55and this guy is obviously now going to turn around
02:57and sell these autographs.
02:59I don't know. I wish Jason would have just driven off.
03:01Do not reward terrible behavior.
03:03You're right. If he had just driven off,
03:05the video probably doesn't become
03:07a thing, but I think
03:09he's thinking about, and remember,
03:11he was just on Jimmy Kimmel.
03:13The show where he just announced that he's going to have
03:15his own late night show.
03:17I'm sure the folks that he's thinking about,
03:19the Disney bosses, and what they
03:21said to him about the last incident.
03:23Remember, he had to do the whole apology
03:25that wasn't really an apology
03:27on Monday Night Football.
03:29He didn't want to end up in that situation again, and you're right.
03:31He's like, I'm just going to go out,
03:33I'm going to make peace here, and then squash the whole thing.
03:35It was a good PR move,
03:37I've got to say.
03:39Other than Babcock, who could fault him
03:41for making peace
03:43with a guy that's just going crazy.
03:45To Babcock's point, you wish he didn't have to bow.
03:47I get it.
03:49By the way, guys, this guy, who's going crazy,
03:51is well known to cops and
03:53Jimmy Kimmel security.
03:55We spoke to sources who work in both places
03:57and know him. He goes to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,
03:59he goes to premieres, and their security
04:01thing is like, listen, just let him talk himself
04:03out, and sometimes
04:05the autograph hounds themselves
04:07will police themselves and have words with
04:09him later. Nobody stopped him last night.
04:11No, so I think he's doing
04:13like a Friday night
04:15talk show. A late night show.
04:17Right, and so
04:19I mean, the Kelsey brothers
04:21just continue to just... Can I say something
04:23real quick? I think he wants his old life
04:25back. I really do. Do you really? I'm convinced.
04:27Why do you say that?
04:29He's rolling in dough
04:31now. He was, but he's not
04:33that kind of guy. He was a
04:35millionaire, he was fine, he was popular
04:37in Philadelphia, but he wasn't
04:39worldwide famous like he is now.
04:41He has dealt with so much crap just over the
04:43last couple of weeks. I'm convinced he wants his old life back.
04:45Yeah, I mean, now everywhere you go, and also,
04:47the other thing you have to remember about Jason Kelsey that
04:49makes him a standout, he was
04:51a lineman. He was an offensive lineman.
04:53They don't become
04:55superstars like this. They, when they
04:57retire, Mike's right.
04:59They just, they fade into, that's it.
05:01Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
05:03I don't know. I mean... Depending on
05:05who you are, but yeah.
05:07He was doing this podcast with his brother
05:09before Taylor Swift.
05:11The podcast was popular, not nearly what
05:13it is now, but it was still popular.
05:15So it's not like he's just
05:17retreating. I'm just saying, offensive linemen
05:19remain famous within football
05:21circles. Jason Kelsey is now at a different
05:23level that people
05:25that he played with just don't experience.
05:27I mean, the poor guy's just making a couple hundred
05:29million dollars. I mean, you gotta feel for him,
05:31right? Hi Harvey and Charles.
05:33It's Gabriela from California.
05:35Regarding Jason Kelsey's autograph
05:37incident, fans can be
05:39passionate, but there's a fine line
05:41that needs to be crossed. Respect is
05:43key. No athlete deserves
05:45to be disrespected for
05:47simply being human. So props
05:49to Kelsey for handling it
05:51the best as he could and under the
05:53circumstances.
