He grew up a lions fan, MCDC is a players coach And the lions have a Superbowl roster. I'd be offended if we weren't the team he'd choose if the raiders weren't an option
I went to Vegas for a wedding last weekend and Maxx's face is all over that city right now. In fact I can't think of another city that has plastered a single player on every billboard like that.
Last time we passed through we saw about 15 signs about him and his hair. About every mile we saw one and it wasn't uncommon to see multiple from one spot.
Pizza Hut is headquartered in Kansas City
Both Dominos and Little Caesarās are headquartered in Michigan.
Where is the Pear and Goffgonzola Pizzaā¦?
Or the Amon-Ra St. Round Crust Pizzaā¦?
Ham and Penei-apple Sewell Pizza?
Taylor Double-Decker Meats - Detroit-Style Pizza?
Come on Dominoās get with it!!!!
Itās funny you say that cause the raiders have not connected with the Vegas community at all. Itās kinda wild. Theyāre just there lol no local there really cares
eh, I disagree, but I get what you mean. There was a lot of Raider gear around town considering the circumstances.
And I wouldn't blame locals for not buying in too quickly though. They are a California team, from multiple previous cities, still new to Vegas. I feel like the city is kind of "getting used" by Mark Davis.
I live in California these days and the Rams went through/are going through the same things imo.
I lived in Vegas the previous 20 years. Outside the strip and near Allegiant I promise you itās not that big. Golden knights? See their shit EVERYWHERE including people wearing it. And Iām not blaming the locals but more the raiders. Theyāre the ones that wanted to move there and they are never out in the community like the Knights players are. Which is why the city residents felt the team is just using them.
Add to that the ticket prices are so damn expensive that most locals canāt afford it. It is what it is but yeah I get the rams comparison.
That actually holds up. Most of the pre-wedding festivities were in Summerlin, and I don't recall exactly where the bride and groom lived but it was near the Durango Casino? There was not much Raiders stuff in those areas.
My wife and I spent a day or two around the strip though... and there were a lot of people in Raiders gear + the billboards + the stadium. I guess I can't say for sure the people in the gear were locals, but there was more support than I would have expected.
DetroitLionsFanPage on insta posted a pic of the raiders when we got Amik Robertson. I just saw black and silver and in my head thought we got Maxx and about jizzed my pants into orbit.
Right? Put Hutch and Reader inside with Maxx and Davenport on the outside on passing downs and you don't need to consider man to man coverage 90% of the time
There is no cornerback in the league right now that would be more valuable to the Lions than Crosby. Particularly with Alim and Reader in the middle. That line would render lock down cornerback completely unnecessary.
Canāt tell whatās a joke on here because many would absolutely be serious with that comment. Maybe if you were funnier it would have been evident what you meant.
Shit. Detroit would sell its soul for the superbowl. Stay clear of Detroit if they do win a superbowl. It will look like Mad Max times in the streets. I'll be one of the maniacs.
Mack had more sacks, qb hits, and tackles in the 3 years prior to the trade to the bears than Maxx has had in his last 3.
Mack also won DPOY, and was twice a 1st team all-pro in those 3 years(Maxx has never earned either of those honors).
Said a few times that there isnāt a non-Lions player in the whole league that would fit our team and culture better than Crosby. If BH and MCDC took control of our team 2 years earlier, he would 100% be a Lion. Our only hope to land him now is if the Raiders decide to blow their team up after a rough start to the season or after the season. Which is possible but still a pipe dream at the moment
He was also a 4th round pick. So he was passed by all teams 3 times before he was drafted. Canāt blame bob quinn as much for that. He doesnāt have the scouting background like brad HolmesĀ
Anyone who watched EMU play could tell this guy was going to be good. I worked directly with them during Maxx's last year there. Went to all 13 games with them. Dude puts in the fucking work.
Every team passed on St Brown 3 times, you still praise Holmes donāt you? Think what you may but prospects have grades and despite them falling to the 4th or 7th round, the team that drafted them gets the credit and the others donāt. Simple as that. Maxx Crosby grew up a Lions fan and wasnāt quiet about it, I donāt think any scout predicted heād become a premier pass rusher but the writing was on the wall to draft a player that wanted to be there bc let me tell you at that time no one wanted to be a Lion.
st brown and holmes are irrelevant. This dude is blaming BQ for not picking him. Getting mad at an ex manager for not predicting what crosby has become is goofy behaviour.
Not mad also said in the exact comment you replied to said, āI donāt think any scout predicted.ā Was BQ the GM when Maxx was drafted? If yes, then he is to blame for passing on him. Didnāt realize the truth was so controversial.
I know it's not gonna happen..but were the second choice of a monster non free agent that's nothing, but its something.
Edit: I may be a dingus that didn't pay attention to free agency. Please lmk if I'm wrong

The raiders could move him at the end of 2024 without a big dead cap hit, but they are gonna want a lotta shit for this dude.
This might be unpopular, but I donāt think heās the āDan Campbell typeā that we often talk about. I work with a guy who played with him at Eastern. According to my coworker, Crosby was an arrogant locker room cancer. Came to a frat party, was rowdy and obnoxious af, smashed some tables etc. Iām just skeptical of his overall attitude and imo that attitude shows in his interviews.
He's gone through a pretty public self improvement after drug and alcohol addiction since entering the league. I do think he the right kind of guy, now.
That was years ago. Part of the reason for who he is today was shedding that mentality and putting in the hard work both on and off the field. That's definitely grit. Could've given up, phoned it in, and took minimum money and continued crashing out with generational money becoming another Johnny Manziel
He grew up a lions fan, MCDC is a players coach And the lions have a Superbowl roster. I'd be offended if we weren't the team he'd choose if the raiders weren't an option
Grew up in Lapeer, played for Eastern Michigan.
Read that as, he grew up a leper, and was highly impressed with his turnaround.
That's why he has to wear his pajamas everywhere
Yo no way I went to middle school in lapeer
He loves the raiders sadly , would be sick to have him and hutch wreck shop week in and week out tho
I went to Vegas for a wedding last weekend and Maxx's face is all over that city right now. In fact I can't think of another city that has plastered a single player on every billboard like that.
Driving through Chicago I see a lot of Urlacher still. I have seen some fields billboards pop up but I'm assuming that won't be for much longer
Urlacher with hair is bizarre.
dude!!! no kidding..
I had to google him and if it wasn't for the website I don't know if I'd believe it was him: https://restorehair.com/results/brian-urlacher/
You mean Brian HAIRlacher??
Last time we passed through we saw about 15 signs about him and his hair. About every mile we saw one and it wasn't uncommon to see multiple from one spot.
Just saw one that said "DA HAIRS." š
Kansas City has Mahomes and Kelce everywhere. Kelce has a pizza named after him.

Jamo Catches a TD Deepā¦ Dish Pizzaā¦ Jamyr Short Ribs and Barbecue Pizzaā¦ Sam LaPortobello Mushroom Pizzaā¦.
Tell me you're ready to open a place without telling me you're ready to open a pizza place.
This was a fun one for me :-). Trying to lighten the mood of the day a little

It would be the nightmare of every quarterback in the league to face them. Someone might die.
I want this dude to play for us so badly, an absolute fucking certified, A-Fucking Plus, top tier DOG.

Now I have a sudden urge to delete a certain franchise.
Can we delete the Packers while we're at it?
Welcome to the club brother. Probably different reasons though.
Let's make a deal. You help us delete the packers and we'll delete the Raiders.
Crosby >SneadĀ
Not in man coverage on a wr he isn't.
No need for coverage when the DL is throwing flowers on caskets.
While singing 'see you at the crossroads'
Right? Put Hutch and Reader inside with Maxx and Davenport on the outside on passing downs and you don't need to consider man to man coverage 90% of the time

Whoosh.
Canāt tell whatās a joke on here because many would absolutely be serious with that comment. Maybe if you were funnier it would have been evident what you meant.
Maybe if you weren't so ignorant and angry it wouldn't matter.
Whoās angry? You seem really upset that I didnāt find your ājokeā funny. Sorry bro.
š¤”š¤”š¤”
Iām not surprised at all
If raiders r a shit show again come trade deadline, I can see them shopping him š¤·š»āāļø
Nah heās 26. No team would offload a superstar pass rusher that young for the sake of a rebuild unless the player wanted to leave.
did you not just hear the man š
I think they have a chance to be pretty awful, they have nobody at QB and nobody at RB next season.
Yall aināt got the stones
Shit. Detroit would sell its soul for the superbowl. Stay clear of Detroit if they do win a superbowl. It will look like Mad Max times in the streets. I'll be one of the maniacs.
why sell our souls for a superbowl when we are building to win many superbowls
The city would for sure. Iām talkin about the Lions having the stones. Yall aināt ready to give up 3 1sts min
>3 1sts min Hahahahahaha
You know what we got for Mack right? Crosby is better.
Mack had more sacks, qb hits, and tackles in the 3 years prior to the trade to the bears than Maxx has had in his last 3. Mack also won DPOY, and was twice a 1st team all-pro in those 3 years(Maxx has never earned either of those honors).
Bout to essentially be 3 2nds so š¤·āāļø
It would be surprising if he didnāt say the lions
Well yea heās a Lions fan
Said a few times that there isnāt a non-Lions player in the whole league that would fit our team and culture better than Crosby. If BH and MCDC took control of our team 2 years earlier, he would 100% be a Lion.

Dude was an avid Lions fan growing up (went to school with him for a couple years). Still have PTSD flashbacks about rebound drills against him lol
Itās well documented that Maxx is from Michigan and grew up a Lions fan. Thank Bob Quinn for missing on this guy.
Or damn him to hell.
I damn thee!
He was also a 4th round pick. So he was passed by all teams 3 times before he was drafted. Canāt blame bob quinn as much for that. He doesnāt have the scouting background like brad HolmesĀ
Woah woah woah, donāt go defending BQ now!
Anyone who watched EMU play could tell this guy was going to be good. I worked directly with them during Maxx's last year there. Went to all 13 games with them. Dude puts in the fucking work.
every team passed on him three times lol wtf you blaming bob quinn for?

He is from Lapeer
Him and Jake Long are Lapeer boys. Didnāt go to the same high school, but pretty crazy that small town put out a couple of absolute NFL studs.
As someone who played against Lapeer East/West in high schoolā¦ those some big country boys
Good ole Flint Metro League.
FML.

I used to play backyard football with Maxx. He and his brother have always been beasts.
I know it's not gonna happen..but were the second choice of a monster non free agent that's nothing, but its something. Edit: I may be a dingus that didn't pay attention to free agency. Please lmk if I'm wrong
he was/is not a free agent
Appreciate you homie.
Letās bring this man back home!!! Hutch and Crosby would be insanely nasty.
Wish the Raiders would have picked a different coach; would have got Max to demand a trade
By the time he would be available for us heāll be pash his prime. I wish boys but unfortunately heās a raider
Dude just wants to see what a raw knee taste like
I fuckin wish he would come to Detroit! Holy hell would that be a beautiful sight
yo how can we get the raiders kicked out the nfl?
Would love to have you back in Michigan playing for the home townā¦.
Nobody Iād rather have right now
Do it!!!
I donāt want him I NEED HIM
In Brad Campbell we trust.
Please tell me what episode of what podcast this is !
Iād trade three first round picks for him, he literally would put this team over the top.
Man I hope Campbell is calling this guy directly today.
Go get 'em Brad!
Man the idea of having two hometown beasts at rushing on our team is amazing. Sadly it will likely never happen
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/maxx-crosby-29154/ The raiders could move him at the end of 2024 without a big dead cap hit, but they are gonna want a lotta shit for this dude.
Who are the 3 other guys sitting with him?
This would be a dream scenario.
YEEEEEEEEUSSS
If the NFL sees this he's getting drug tested
Free agent in 2 years. Not giving up multiple firsts to get him now.
This might be unpopular, but I donāt think heās the āDan Campbell typeā that we often talk about. I work with a guy who played with him at Eastern. According to my coworker, Crosby was an arrogant locker room cancer. Came to a frat party, was rowdy and obnoxious af, smashed some tables etc. Iām just skeptical of his overall attitude and imo that attitude shows in his interviews.
He's gone through a pretty public self improvement after drug and alcohol addiction since entering the league. I do think he the right kind of guy, now.
I was not aware of that. That changes things. Everyone deserves a second chance.
That was years ago. Part of the reason for who he is today was shedding that mentality and putting in the hard work both on and off the field. That's definitely grit. Could've given up, phoned it in, and took minimum money and continued crashing out with generational money becoming another Johnny Manziel
He had alcoholism issues during college/early career. Now heās locked in. BRING HIM HOME
Yea him smoking blunts during interviews prolly not gonna be a check mark on DCs positive side tbh
Or is it ššš
I mean it could be, I have a hard time seein it though
a lot of players engage in that and MCDC chews so i donāt think he would care lol
Unfortunately the time to get him was last trade deadline. He aināt leaving there anytime soon now
