For Pete's Sake

Chargers troll Chiefs (and others) in schedule-release video, but ex-KU QB gets love

The Chiefs were not spared in the Chargers video.

No one is safe from the Chargers’ sharp wit when it comes to the team’s annual schedule release video.

The Chargers have taken shots at Chiefsaholic (the alleged bank-robbing Chiefs fan), Taylor Swift, Harrison Butker and Travis Kelce in schedule-release videos in past years.

While the Chargers have used anime and Sims for past videos, the team went with a Minecraft theme on Wednesday, and it didn’t disappoint.

No one was safe once again, especially the Raiders. The Chargers once again savaged their AFC West rivals, and it’s hilarious. LA also poked fun at the Chiefs’ loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. If you look close, you’ll see Chiefsaholic in there again (more than once).

Other highlights include a jab at Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network and Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports for their kerfuffle at the NFL Scouting Combine, and a seemingly positive mention of former KU quarterback Jason Bean (at the expense of the Colts’ Anthony Richardson).

This video is loaded with Easter eggs like those. And if you hate the Raiders you’re going to love this video.

The Chargers also poked fun at Jason Kelce breaking a fan’s phone for talking smack about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
