The Colts apologized to Tyreek Hill (and… Microsoft?) for their deleted schedule video
The Colts apologized to Tyreek Hill (and… Microsoft?) for their deleted schedule video
Something strange happened during the NFL's annual schedule release event. The Indianapolis Colts released Minecraft-themed video to unveil their 17-game slate. It was fairly well received... then, it was gone.
This led to speculation. After all, the video cracked jokes at the expense of Kirk Cousins, the feud between Ian Rapoport and Jordan Schultz, Patrick Mahomes and Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen. But one brief clip at the start, which sees an annoyed dolphin version of Miami wide receiver Tyreek Hill get pulled over by the Coast Guard, seemed like the most obvious lightning rod for soft controversy in a league that's got nearly four months of time to burn before the actual season starts.
On Thursday, the Colts came out and said, yep, the Hill arrest was part of the reason the video came down -- along with the desire to avoid Microsoft's legal team.
"We removed our schedule release video because it exceeded our rights with Microsoft and included an insensitive clip involving Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill. We sincerely apologize to Microsoft and Tyreek," read the statement first reported by Pro Football Talk.
While I don't have the data handy, I believe this is the first time an NFL franchise has had to apologize to a software company for releasing its schedule. So how bad were the offending clips? You can see for yourself.
Well, huh.

In a TikTok shared by creator @laurenelizabethduhhh, Swift and Kelce can be seen seated side-by-side at a long table, watching the newly wedded couple enjoy their first dance. Swift starts swaying to the music and Kelce joins her in a cute shared moment. Since the end of the NFL season in February, Swift and Kelce have been enjoying some quality time together out of the spotlight. This week, they were seen in Florida together, where Swift wore a classic little black dress to their dinner date. Just before the images of their date night started circulating, a source told Us Weekly that the two were keeping a low profile on purpose right now. 'They are making fewer public appearances together because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention, but there isn't trouble in paradise,' the insider explained. A second source shared that Swift has been living in both Miami, where Kelce has been training during his offseason, and New York: 'Taylor has been coming and going to Florida and is still spending a lot of her time in NYC.' And it appears she's making some special time for Tennessee.
