It was inevitable.
As the various social-media teams of the various NFL franchises try to one-up each other with funny and entertaining schedule release videos, one of them was bound to post something that gave someone within the organization cold feet and/or a nervous stomach.
That apparently happened with the Colts on Wednesday. Their Minecraft-themed video (the Chargers [opted for a Minecraft vibe](https://x.com/chargers/status/1922804518250582232), too) posted by the Colts was deleted.
Before it went away, [others preserved it](https://x.com/droppedballspod/status/1922826911291441576).
The most obvious culprit was Week 1. The video depicted Miami receiver Tyreek Hill as a dolphin. And he was arrested by the Coast Guard.
The video also dubs Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray a “chicken jockey,” and it shows Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as a frog that jumps into a boxing ring to stop a fight between Pat Mahomes Sr. and John Rocker.
Whatever the problem, the lesson is clear. Make sure everyone who is in a position to give the video a thumb’s down has a chance to do so before the video goes live.
Unless, of course, the deletion was strategic. If so, it may have been brilliant.
