ExtremeRavens Posted Thursday at 01:14 AM Posted Thursday at 01:14 AM The Ravens are getting in on the schedule release fun. In following a growing trend around the NFL, Baltimore announced its 2025 schedule on Wednesday night with a highly produced video in which the games take a backseat to the team’s personalities. In a parody of the Apple TV hit “Severance,” a sci-fi mystery thriller starring Adam Scott and Britt Lower, several Ravens players, coach John Harbaugh and general manager Eric DeCosta make cameos as the team takes a playful spin on the show’s premise of going to drastic measures to separate your personal life from your work life — with dangerous consequences. The schedule is mysterious and important.@SeatGeek | @AppleTV pic.twitter.com/TqjgdrNxEd — Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) May 15, 2025 Tight end Charlie Kolar begins the video introducing himself as “Charlie K.” with a narrative voiceover as the iconic score from the show begins to play. “I give consent to sever my memories between my professional football life and my personal life,” he says, before meeting punter Jordan Stout and center Tyler Linderbaum at cubicles on the Ravens’ indoor practice field in Owings Mills. Linebackers Trenton Simpson, Tavius Robinson, Roquan Smith and Kyle Van Noy, rookie first-round pick Malaki Starks, fellow safeties Ar’Darius Washington and Kyle Hamilton, running back Keaton Mitchell, wide receivers Tylan Wallace and Zay Flowers, right tackle Roger Rosengarten, long snapper Nick Moore and a digital version of Lamar Jackson are the players who appear in the video, while defensive coordinator Zach Orr and mascot Poe also get some screen time. The absence of the real Jackson is notable, although maybe his rate has gone up now that he’s made an appearance on the Starz show “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” to much fanfare. In perhaps the most humorous segment, Hamilton is told that his “outie” — meaning, his personal self outside of work — is a cat person, watches TV without subtitles, is fond of music and “thinks Kendrick Lamar is the best artist ever,” prompting a visible disagreement from the silent Hamilton. Lastly, the former Notre Dame star is told that his “outie” is a USC football fan, forcing Hamilton to get up and leave the room. DeCosta might have the most memorable cameo of all. The seventh-year general manager who has been working for the Ravens since the franchise started in Baltimore in 1996 is seen in a conference room feeding baby goats in a mysterious homage to the show. After the full schedule is finally shown on a retro computer monitor (which is really besides the point in these videos), DeCosta declares that “it isn’t time. We’re not ready.” “Oh, they’ll be ready,” Harbaugh says. Have a news tip? Contact sports editor C.J. Doon at cdoon@baltsun.com, 410-332-6200 and x.com/CJDoon. View the full article Quote
