The Chargers, having unofficially appointed themselves the boundary line for insult comedy as it pertains to NFL schedule release videos, put themselves in a position Thursday where it would have been a bigger story if Mike Vrabel–related jokes were avoided than actually executed. The Chargers play the Patriots in Week 12.
The Chargers have, in the past, taken on subjects like the two dozen sexual assault and harrassment complaints filed against Deshaun Watson. So, saying that a coach’s seemingly inappropriate relationship with a reporter is out of bounds would have put the team in its own optical crosshair. Other teams on New England’s schedule, like the Chiefs and the Jets, opted to take the high road.
