brett is a leader in the football film breakdown space and has cultivated a loyal audience on social and youtube, we are excited to have him doing some youtube content for us over the next year - more to come
For some more context on why I moved to downtown…my new side gig starts today. Probably gonna be useful to be closer to SoFi this fall and the new
@chargers
facility when that opens up next year
Don’t worry - the channel and the pod aren’t changing at all. This is just extra 😊
no matter the results today, the team worked so well together on this. they fought, they argued, but respected each other and FUCKING NAILED IT
too many people to single out but this all started with
@FriendlyCordova
, lifelong chargers fan. bravo
don’t hate us
@minakimes
press conference is exclusive to dot com and app, we will have the stream up at 12:50 and if you run into any issues don’t worry full press conferences will be provided asap on YouTube and Dot com
And yes you will be able to hear the questions
im so freakin proud of this group and their total devotion to making this moment ours
also i want to thank chargers reddit and this wildly online fanbase - you all are psychos and we love it cause we are psychos too
now everyone go to the beach and stop tracking private jets
Today was tough
Tom and Brandon gave us their unwavering support and on a personal level I will forever be grateful for their incredible generosity.
It’s very easy for football people to treat content people like shit, never here. Never once.
i just want to express an insane level of gratitude
@FriendlyCordova
deserves this he has died over this for months and is so beyond talented
@David_Bretto
@meganbjulian
@tylerpino92
were guiding forces on this creative process and are the best in the world
over 30 content people gave it all they had nonstop since the day we were eliminated in vegas, and we will do the same thing now
we love this team, we love our jobs and we all thank you so much for your unrelenting views, retweets, comments etc.
always, bolt up
for one year this group has been told they can’t match last year. from the beginning of this process we set one major objective, do not worry about last year, we probably will never get there, so just enjoy the ride and have some fun
see you all thurs night
so excited to get into this building and to showcase everything this org has been working on to support the team
oh and we are going to have a state of the art 2000 sq ft content studio as well
let’s go!
not like what I’m gonna say is needed but to be really clear, this place is different, this coach is different, this culture is different. people say “work in sports” i would say f that, “work at the chargers”
so proud to work here
this ep is incredible - the moment below plays out at the end of ep 1 + beautifully wraps up a story that we have been waiting to tell
we know their wasn’t a final ep to szn 2, it wasn’t the time, but now we can tell an important story
enjoy the ride, its time to go
last year i learned a valuable lesson, if you post about jobs and ask people to DM you they really will, like a lot. like a lot a lot. this year i have learned my lesson... go apply here for our open social media and video production positions.
btw to everyone asking
episode 2: mike and keenan (absolutely the funniest video I’ve ever seen) - dropping most likely after cardinals game
episode 3: joey and khalil (the final question to them is jaw dropping amazing) - dropping in december
then we will see you for szn 2
bolt fam you showed up big time, can’t tell you what it means to all of us to hear that type of support
happy holidays one more home game to go bring that energy one more time for 2023
the guilty as charged podcast is coming every tuesday to our YouTube and anywhere we have podcasts - excited to have the guys join our growing podcast group
more to come with fan perspectives in the future, just the beginning
Some news:
@tylerjschoon
and I are incredibly excited to share that we have partnered with the
@chargers
to provide weekly content for them across their platforms! Our first episode will be dropping tomorrow at 10 AM on their feeds to wrap up our pre-draft coverage!
Backstage Chargers returns next week on YouTube and Spectrum. Not sure we said this yet, but it’s a one-hour special, and it’s pretty lethal. If you don’t like that’s on you
The LA Chargers have opened their new $270M HQ in El Segundo: "The Bolt" ⚡️
• 150,000 sq. ft.
• 3 practice fields
• 22 meeting rooms
• 42 ft. LED video board
• Golf simulator, 250+ TVs
• 103 lockers, new weight room
• 3 training tubs, 1 outdoor pool
the season finale of all in airs Friday. titled “our way” this episode is a powerful, raw look at a group of players and coaches who care deeply about this team, just like all of you. enjoy it and then we will see you for season 2 (with maybe a surprise ep here or there)
From Buffalo to Cleveland to London to Seattle to Oakland to Pittsburgh to Kansas City to Denver to Baltimore to New England. A run I will never forget. Can’t wait for Week 1 2019.
and if you are coming to sofi this fall shawne plays big role in our countdown to kickoff starting 15 mins before kick, get to your seats early
all new
the storm is coming
I spent sometime at the facility last week and it’s different. Leadership starts the top and trickles down to everybody else in the building. Idk how many total games they’ll win this year but I can tell you I haven’t seen it like this since the teams I played on.
"It’s fun to go all in one year … I’d like to be all in every year.”
#Chargers
GM Joe Hortiz just met with reporters for 30 minutes and addressed Keenan Allen trade, the Bolts recent cap situation and the Joey/Khalil restructures.
Takeaways up soon on
we have the best fans in sports, very thankful for all of you
incredible work by so so so so so many, led by
@meganbjulian
who works tirelessly at this. the best part is it took everyone to make this happen, thanks again!
bolt fam - if you are coming today, don’t come home without losing your damn voice.
also… I’ve gotten a bunch of questions about it…
team intro video song - Thunderstruck
team runout song - Next Episode
let’s cook
stories like this, like aidan, like all our fans of the year, like everyone i see interacting with this team and living and dying with it is what makes this shit so special
we are onto KC!
it takes a special organization to let us do something like this. see you 8.27 for episode 1 “A New Day” time tbd cause i never know what time to post on frikin YouTube
Chapter 11 of Backstage Chargers obviously does not have the outcome you all want to see. BUT, the message this teams football leadership delivers behind closed doors to the players is must watch television. Everyone should feel VERY good about the future of this team. Tune in.
When I tweeted this today, I truly did not expect what has happened over the last 7 hours. To everyone who reached out, thank you! We will review all applicants. The talent in the SM Sports world is wild.
2.3 million views last week on youtube for our channel, in the middle of the off-season… with nothing going on.
incredible
chargers fans out here dominating

Don't forget, Backstage Chargers Chapter 11 airs next Thursday. Then we will have a special Chapter 12, with incredible access from the Pro Bowl, Senior Bowl and NFL Honors to wrap up season 1. We hope you all enjoyed it and stick with us.
nope season still over just read the comments
idk when this fan base decided that if they don’t win exactly the perfect way it means it’s over
how many years have you all watched the team lose that game? sheesh take the win and leave it alone dear lord
some things are just way way way more important. THANK YOU to every single person who puts their life on the line every day for us. we see you. we love you. THANK YOU
Extremely grateful to be a part of the
@chargers
family for the past 3 years. It was a hell of a ride working for the best team AND social team in the league!

Mike McDaniel, finally asked about the Chargers schedule-release video showing him vaping:
"Huh? I don't know what you speak of. Oh, the schedule release? Lot of creative people doing creative things in 2023 which is pretty creative."
