He's back! Maxx Crosby merged superthread

Tank is full speed ahead!

The fact that neither coach nor GM greeted a guy they were supposedly trading 2 firsts for suggests that they weren't really trading two firsts for him and it had nothing to do with a physical exam.

At least the whole episode refreshed his attitude about continuing to be a Raider. I've moved on. I wish we were playing the Ravens though, because that would be something to see. He always gives 100%..... but might find a way to give 127% for that game.

Now slow your roll Chucker. We’re gonna have to butt heads here. I just cannot abide the mathematical malfeasance on display here, and from who we have all placed our trust. You, our resident capologist, should definitely know better.

It is not just improbable, but literally impossible to give more than 100%. I am stunned. Not just stunned, but honestly broken-hearted. I believed in you and you have taken a sledgehammer to my trust.

I believe a penalty is in order for this despicable behavior. For 3 months you can no longer use real maple syrup for any morning confections. For 3 months, not a day less, you will have to use some mass-produced American high-fructose corn syrup masquerading as maple syrup.

I’m sorry, but this needed to be done.

They couldn’t even muster up the energy to pretend the deal was moving forward. Maxx must have sensed it almost immediately.

I cannot use that bullshit fake syrup.

I got the numbers from a former Jets' scout. So they are obviously accurate. He's really good with spreadsheets and stuff.

I remember thinking about the whole seedy deal and asking who the Ravens informed first that the deal was off, Maxx or the Raiders? At the time, Attila said that it had not been reported yet. I still wonder about it because the longer this story goes on, the worse the Ravens look.

Legally, the Ravens got away with it but in the court of public opinion they are guilty as OJ.

Right, when was the last time (only time) a star you paid handsomely for doesn't enter the building with all the major players immediately there to welcome them? A: 2026 Baltimore Ravens. It's like they had remorse before he even made it there. Fans were probably panning the trade overall online to.

They already knew they were backing out but had to go through the motions so they could blame the medicals

His comments really do not give us more clarity into who was informed first. I think it is implied they told the Raiders first. And there are no legalities here, just league rules.

Flying him through DC is a huge red flag. That should have been done via private jet. They had plenty of time to make that arrangement.

Given Crosbys account and other details we've herd, I think the Ravens only agreed to terms with the Raiders to prevent them from dealing Crosby to another team while they pursued their preferred option Hendricks. Talk about acting in bad faith, selfishly wasting everyone else's time in the process.

Could this whole thing be as simple as an F U to the Raiders for signing away Linderbaum?

I’m sitting there, and that Monday night, when I got in and after I worked out, and I’m chilling in the hotel, but I can’t sleep. Like my emotions are everywhere. Bro, every channel, Sportscenter, this, this and that… Raiders making moves, da da da, everything, I couldn’t even open my phone. Everything was Raiders, Raiders, Raiders. I’m like, ‘Damn. Why is this happening? … Leave me alone,'” Crosby recalled.

I got right up 4:55 the next morning, got my a** in the building, right back to work. And it was crazy, bro. Maybe four hours of sleep, and I walk back and they were like [seeing] the f**cking Undertaker, and I see everybody again,” Crosby added, before reflecting on whether the reunion was awkward, Oh, is it weird? Is it [awkward]? I’m like, ‘Bro, you know how my mind works, like everything happens for a reason, truly. You can never control that, you could have never predicted that… I didn’t know what to say, but I’m like, ‘I’m letting nobody knock my shine, make me feel weird.”

Bro. Bruh. Broham. Brodacious. Brobi wan Kanobi.

Baltimore has an airport. Hard to believe there is no direct flight from LV to Baltimore.
