The social media Super Bowl is on Thursday night, when every NFL team will release its schedule video, and the New England Patriots could be an easy team to pick on.

NFL teams have made it a tradition to announce their schedules through creative social media videos. Many teams will poke fun at their opponents, and seemingly nothing is off limits. This year, Mike Vrabel's affair scandal could be a hot topic in schedule release videos. The NFL has said it will not review the videos beforehand, according to Front Office Sports, so the league will not stop teams from making fun of Vrabel and the scandal.

Some teams have built a reputation for poking fun at controversy in their schedule release videos. The Los Angeles Chargers are one of those teams, and the Patriots are supposed to make their way to Los Angeles to face them next season. Barstool Sports owner and avid Patriots fan, Dave Portnoy, has threatened to take legal action against any team that makes fun of Vrabel and the scandal in their schedule release videos.

"Let me say this loud and clear," Portnoy said on X. "I will be monitoring all schedule releases and anybody who makes a joke about this disgusting controversy will be put on my list and face potential legal action. You’ve been warned."
