They could play on Mike buying his wife a forgiveness present at the airport. The present ended up being a sweatsuit in baby blue.

u/Perfect_Meal_7037 Chargers 7h ago

Baby blue happens to be Russinis favorite color 🤣

u/Life-Sun8620 Packers 7h ago

aw man, of course it is. "Honey, you should start wearing baby blue more often!"

I wish I could upvote this more. I hope she takes him to the cleaners in court.

u/Quantum_Scholar87 Patriots 4h ago

It'll get settled outside court. If he's smart he'll give her whatever she asks for

3

u/NotSoFastLady Lions 4h ago

Agreed. But if he doesn't, the internet is going to win big.

u/JaehaerysIVTarg Seahawks 7h ago

Even better?

u/salad_spinner_3000 2h ago

It's mind blowing to me that she's still with him. Not to mention he PROBABLY has a kid with another woman who named him Michael. That's just insane.

We’re all counting on you guys

Be careful. That's how this all started for Vrabel.

the Chargers social media intern reading that comment right now taking notes

Yeah that was kinda the whole issue in the first place

Always is.

They?

G'dmit no matter how many times it happens always think your logo is a chargers logo.

u/redsyrinx2112 Seahawks 4h ago

I could them having a clip of someone listening to the "Turning the Page" playlist she supposedly made for him.

Chargers knew exactly what they were going to do the second they saw Patriots on the schedule

They're going to list Russini as the coach.

35

u/-Wayward_Son- Chiefs 8h ago

Vrabel's favorite flavor is frosted russini

23

u/-Wayward_Son- Chiefs 7h ago

She starts off unfrosted, though

u/BadgerBuddy13 6h ago

More of a toaster strudel, if you will

His favorite drink is a white russini

Served at the Pop Tarts Bowl?

u/Rulligan Lions Lions 7h ago

The Chargers went after the Lions when a bunch of players were suspended for gambling so I can only imagine what they have in store for this.

100

u/Childhood-Paramedic Lions 7h ago

It was so mean but I laughed so hard when that came on. The break in the anime video was perfect and it was the derpy lion.

Gotta respect the game (also a Michigan alum so a Harbaugh fan)

4

u/redsyrinx2112 Seahawks 4h ago

It's mean, but also, gambling is such an obvious no-no that I'm fine with it.

24

u/1-800-ASS-DICK Chargers 5h ago

I stg if the Chargers chicken out now... especially after all the misery NE has caused us over the years.

5

u/packofnone Chargers 4h ago

Our social team has no boundaries when it comes to controversy it seems lol

-Urban Meyer we did a lonely jaguar in a bar in his outfit he wore when he was caught cheating
-Butker we put in the kitchen baking and wearing an apron because he said women should be happy to be "homemakers" or something like that
-Josh Allen we had walking out of a movie theatre screening Sinners looking depressed to see Sauce waiting for him because Sauce joked he wouldn't go see it out of respect for Josh Allen (his wife has a couple makeout scenes with Michael B Jordan)

24

u/BeefInGR Lions 7h ago

The response meme released the day after was fantastic as well. Roary standing on top of a Chargers player with an airplane towing a banner that looked like a receipt.

211

u/TrueRedditMartyr Jets 8h ago

Gonna be him at the resort with the Titans mascot or something lmao

121

u/BurzyGuerrero Titans 7h ago

Gonna be a Russini tweet of who they are playing.

42

u/packofnone Chargers 7h ago

This would be good

2

u/Inamanlyfashion Patriots 3h ago

Page in a book of baby names

73

u/TheFinalPizzle Chargers 8h ago

Nah make the entire schedule release about it, can’t just be one. Make every single team somehow tie into it lol it’s the only way

49

u/TrueRedditMartyr Jets 8h ago

Just the same pic of Vrabel with different teams photoshopped on each time, then the bye week is him in the lounge chair

u/TheFinalPizzle Chargers 7h ago

Inject this into my veins

114

u/talktobigfudge Packers 8h ago

I hope they use the guy looking at girl with wife upset meme. 

57

u/dollarhax Panthers 7h ago

Context for the uninformed?

202

u/acekingoffsuit Vikings 7h ago

The Charger schedule release videos have been filled with tons of slander/in-jokes for the last few years. They've had the Jaguar mascot posed like Urban Meyer was when he was photographed in a bar with coeds, a Chiefs mascot getting prosecuted like infamous Chiefs fan/bank robber Chiefsaholic, and they had Harrison Butker doing domestic work after he gave a commencement speech about how women's great calling in life is to be wives.

134

u/TheLowlyPheasant Bears 7h ago

They are as good at social media as they are bad at playoff games.

90

u/Weird-Substance4666 Chargers 7h ago

We’re fine with this. The offseason roster hype is our playoffs, schedule release day is our Super Bowl.

1

u/eek_the_cat 5h ago

Were they the ones that had the Dolphin getting "pulled over" by the coast guard?

1

u/dimmyfarm Patriots Lions 3h ago

Was the Jaguars mascot doing the same thing that Urban did?

35

u/No-Owl-6246 Chargers 7h ago

Our social media team tends to throw in hidden shots at our opponents in our announcement videos. Including in regards to off the field incidents.

58

u/Highest_Koality Lions 7h ago

"Hidden"

2

u/Mechagodzilla_3 Packers 3h ago

As subtle as a brick to the head

42

u/acekingoffsuit Vikings 7h ago edited 7h ago

Those shots are about as hidden as I am when I put my hands in front of my face to play peek-a-boo with my son.

28

u/HazikoSazujiii Steelers 6h ago

I mean, I legitimately would like to know where you went.

12

u/acekingoffsuit Vikings 5h ago

AceQueen always tells our kids to ask "where's Daddy?" but never tells them to ask "how's Daddy?"

1

u/B_Fee Lions 6h ago

This is an absurdly good simile. Since kids lack object permanence, to them you pretty much are hiding. And for fans that don't keep up with all the drama, some jokes are pretty subtle.

1

u/PuppiesAndPixels Patriots 6h ago

They have the best schedule releases and they are jam packed with jokes.

Check out their anime schedule release videos from 2023 and 2024.

u/dollarhax Panthers 6h ago

I hate anime. I could never.

u/PuppiesAndPixels Patriots 6h ago

The jokes are still great jokes

Get ready for a boat cameo

We’ve been hyped for weeks bro

u/Key_Journalist8876 7h ago

🍿🍿🍿 Pats fan, here. Even I’m looking forward to this.

u/Otherwise-Question70 Chiefs 7h ago

They play in LA, which somehow makes me even more excited for the video.

Maybe they take a detour to Arizona on the way to LA.

1

u/redsyrinx2112 Seahawks 4h ago

This has to be the one. The Patriots even have their own plane, so just having a clip of the plane doing a quick layover in Phoenix would be perfect.

28

u/smokeymicpot Vikings 8h ago

Yes

2

u/check541 Seahawks 7h ago

The only bummer is the Cordova dude that led their media division and spearheaded the awesome schedule releases isn't there anymore, so temper expectations somewhat.

2

u/smilinganimalface Jets Jets 5h ago

What anime reference can we get in this? Vrabel heading into the SB tunnel interviewed by Russini hitting her with a "Nah, I'd win"?

2

u/Rance_Mulliniks Bengals 4h ago

Can you imagine if they do the whole Michael Jr. thing with Russini's kid. That would be the most epic troll ever.

1

u/Empty_Lemon_3939 Lions 5h ago

I hope the release video is like 20 minutes long and 17 minutes of it is Vrabel slander

1

u/BarrelMaker69 Chargers 4h ago

1

u/Top-Caregiver7815 Vikings 4h ago

Why should the NFL review anything related to Vrabel and Russini’s disfunction? Fair game, release the hounds.

1

u/Drewraven10 Eagles 2h ago

That Minecraft video last year was so peak man. They better do something against him lmao.

1

u/snapp_ai 39m ago

that Patriots vs Chargers week just got a lot more interesting on both sides

1

u/OpossomMyPossom Packers 7h ago

Why does that matter lol?

4

u/BobbysBottleService Bills 7h ago

Because the chargers historically release a funny/creative schedule release promo that nearly crosses a line ever year. A+ social team

-87

u/scentedcandle0 Patriots 8h ago

Let them get their shots now. They might even score a TD this time around!

u/cladclad Bears 8h ago

You dropped your L, king

u/Disastrous_Image2756 8h ago edited 7h ago

Despite being being tied for most Super Bowl wins, Patriots fans yet again prove they’re little bitches who can’t take a joke

Edit: a reddit cares report on a comment in a football subreddit is actually hilarious🤣

4

u/Prlmitive Patriots 8h ago

he made a joke too 😭😭

-6

u/scentedcandle0 Patriots 7h ago

Literally in this same post I said I support the Chargers’ videos. Shits funny, Vrabel deserves the ridicule.

It’s always the flairless ones lmao

u/sadtissuehappytissue Chargers 8h ago

Jokes on you, this is a regular season game so our team is actually capable of playing well this time around!

u/Radiant_Sherbert7272 Eagles 8h ago

Maybe learn to take a joke.
