Was Maxx Crosby Smoking A Blunt While Being Interviewed By The Raiders Broadcast Team? I Choose To Believe Yes

We can have a healthy debate about whether or not Maxx Crosby was smoking a blunt with the Raiders broadcast team all day long (healthy debate). However instead of engaging in said debate, I am simply going to believe that Maxx was legally getting high on his own supply while chopping it up in Las Vegas because that is the kinda shit your father's Raiders used to stand for. Do whatever you want on and off the field as long as you just win, baby.

That message and moniker got lost at some point along the way thanks to a bunch of draft busts that ran really fast at the combine and some shitty head coaches that got fired when they were still owed the GDP of a small country. However, it's great to see someone as good at football with a sweet name like Maxx Crosby (you cannot discount the double X's in his name) bringing back that old Raiders vibes that the silver and black has a coach they like instead of one they loathe to death, which he talked about on Bussin' With The Boys.

Some people thought the Raiders smoking victory cigars after beating a Giants team that was led by Tommy Devito seemed excessive.

But I didn't hate it as a Giants fan. Winning any game in Goodell's fucked up parity party is worthy of smoking'em if you got'em and a 24-point ass kicking is a lot more dominant than when the Goddamn Jets called themselves the Kings of New York for ~~winning~~ not losing a game historians will refer to as the Puntpocalypse years from now.

Plus let's be honest, NFL is indisputably more fun when the Raiders are at the very least decent and talking shit. We already knew that the Autumn Wind is a Raider, pillaging just for fun. He'll knock you 'round and upside down, and laugh when he's conquered and won. Because of that, I always just assumed that wind smelled like a mix of weed, cigars, booze, and blood like any good horde of pirates. Maxx Crosby lighting it up and smoking it up while being interviewed by the Raiders broadcast only hammered that point home, which I truly appreciate as a fan of NFL history.

In fact every Raiders player should embrace their past even more by lighting whatever they smoking exclusively with the Al Davis Memorial Torch for now on because I know Al would've wanted it that way.

Speaking of the torch, I don't give a fuck what Las Vegas' indoor fire code is. If the Sin City wants to keep the Raiders as well as that sweet ass nickname, they should be forced to make the torch light up with a real flame just like they had in Oakland instead of some fancy screen.
