The video featured Josh Jacobs and cameos from lots of other Packers players and personalities.
Have you been dreaming of the Green Bay Packers’ schedule all week? So has Josh Jacobs! The Packers shared the team’s official schedule release video across social media this week, and it was quite literally a fever dream.
In the video, the Packers’ running back is seen dozing off and in his dream state being sent on a mission by safety Xavier McKinney to find the schedule in his dream. McKinney even says “and your piss better be scorching”, referencing the infamous hot piss quote from head coach Matt LaFleur. Things just get weirder from there...between player interactions and random internet meme moments, it’s a big ball of trippy chaos.
The “dream” includes a bunch of player cameos, old and new, including Rashan Gary acting out the iconic Kim Kardashian “there’s people that are dying” moment, Carrington Valentine playing the recorder (yes you read that right), and John Kuhn and LeRoy Butler reenacting the Chris Rock-Will Smith Oscars moment. Some other players featured include Mason Crosby, Tramon Williams, Nick Collins, Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave, and James Jones, who makes a hoodie reference.
Personally, my favorite part was the Mark Murphy cameo at Lambeau Field. He quotes an iconic Vince Lombardi line along with shouting “Get the F off of our field!” The camera pans to a giant white letter F running across the field then back to Murphy who looks at the camera and says, “That was the last one I had to give.” Perfect. 10/10. No notes.
The dream sequence also includes YouTube star and 2023 NFL Fan of the Year Tom Grossi making a cameo. The video ends with Lil Wayne waking Josh Jacobs up from this insanity of a dream and gives us Packers.com writer Wes Hodkiewicz doing his best “i like turtles” impression.
If you’re still confused, check out the video below. But I’m not sure that will make it less confusing.
The Packers’ social media has often been criticized by fans for being too conservative and dated over the years, but they’ve been noticeably trying to improve it. While this release wasn’t my favorite, I will never knock them for trying something different and being willing to get weird and silly. At the very least it gave us some great content to use for memes (those Mark Murphy clips are getting saved immediately).
