What led to the speculation about Maxx Crosby joining the Bears?
this is rahimi harrison grody on 104.3 the score it is mark grody and leila rahimi in with you today on this thursday and we haven't heard from mark our intrepid bears reporter on the deal involving max crosby dying not going to baltimore after all and then i think mark he uh he cemented it when he decided to post an undertaker gift and say he's back I don't know if Undertaker gifts are official, but it sure felt like Max Crosby was letting everybody know. That was the end of that. He wants to be in Las Vegas.
Or so it seems. I do remember a pretty dramatic post that he put up going to his new team as well. So I don't trust anything right now. Everything still feels a little bit fragile until it doesn't. And maybe I won't be saying that by the end of the day. Congratulations to Max Crosby, too, on being sober for six years.
How did Maxx Crosby's social media posts influence the trade rumors?
He put that up as well. He is into sobriety. So good for him. Some people were fiddling in the comments because apparently he smokes a little weed every once in a while. But if drinking was his DOC, as we call it in the business, drug of choice, and he's not doing it anymore, good for him. But if he smokes a little weed on the side, he wants to be California sober, that's good. Layla, the whole thing to me, I'm going to use two words to describe what I've been hearing and the reaction that I've had to everybody in the NFL world. The whole thing is this big mind bleep is what it is for obviously the two teams involved, for the rest of the NFL, for the teams that were thinking about Max Crosby. And you know who I thought about?
I thought about...
What are the implications of Maxx Crosby's sobriety announcement?
Your average, let's say, 11-year-old fan that is in Baltimore, that's when your emotions are at their highest as a sports fan, I think. You're not really developed. You're a huge fan of the team. Hey, Max Crosby's coming to the team. Max Crosby is coming. And then the next day you find out that Max Crosby is not coming to the team. So the whole thing. thing has been this huge mind bleep for every single person involved in it for everybody that covers it for people like us it's just mind blown in a really bad way was it chris angels speaking of las vegas who called himself mind freak or something like that wasn't that a thing Mind Freak, are you using freak instead of the other word? Yes.
Chris Angel Mind Freak was a television series.
Oh, very good.
You know where you can watch it? Tubi.
I heard you guys talking about Tubi yesterday.
Let it be known that you can watch it on Tubi.
Did you say you watched the Super Bowl on Tubi or something like that?
Yeah, a couple years ago I watched the Super Bowl on Tubi because I was in Thailand. It was a missing Super Bowl.
Oh, okay.
Why do teams hesitate to trade for Maxx Crosby?
It's a flex. So the whole thing is a mind bleep and it all sucks and there's nothing good about it for anybody, including the awkward Max Crosby having to go back into the Raiders locker room.
Yeah, and Max Crosby did post about his sobriety. He said 3-11-20, six years sober. That doesn't make mistakes. I thought that was great. And I'm not here to gatekeep how somebody wants to live their life and when they want to call themselves sober. He also then posted, everything happens for a reason. Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see. I'm a Raider. I'm back. Run that flake. And then there was an eagle and a... a pirate flag and then there was an undertaker gif of him walking through a cat a coffin that was on fire he busts out of the coffin on fire kicks down the door and surprise surprise the undertaker is alive that was that was what i heard when i saw the little pirate flag with the skull and crossbones that's exactly what i heard except here's the thing
That's kind of the Undertaker's bit too, isn't it? I'm going to Baltimore. Bong. No, never mind. And then once you thought you had the Undertaker figured out, no, you didn't. He'd come back yet again and again. And that was the point.
Okay, you're teaching me. You know I don't speak wrestling. I appreciate that you do. And I think Marshall does as well. So I am taking it all. At least the man.
