What did Adam Schefter reveal about Maxx Crosby's trade situation?
Here's what you guys didn't tell me. Adam Schefter the other day, maybe yesterday, and this is through the 105.3, the fans, Sean Sharif on Twitter. That's 105.3 in Baltimore, I believe. Adam Schefter said the Ravens ultimately failed Crosby on their physical. And my understanding is that there were multiple doctors that reviewed his MRI scans. There were doctors that examined him, including Dr. Daniel Cooper, the Dallas Cowboys doctor who has performed surgery on Patrick Mahomes and Malik Davis. Many teams and players rely on Dr. Cooper's expertise, and Dr. Cooper was one of the doctors that reviewed the images where the Ravens then felt compelled to back out of this trade. Bob, that's an additional piece of info that's interesting, right?
It's fine, yes. I mean, all I'm saying, again to you, Joe, it's not that I... We don't have this information in front of us. It just seems like fishy that they back out of a deal and then 12 hours later they have another deal. No question it's fishy, but we didn't know that bit of information, that other doctors reviewed it, including a guy who's popular with teams and players in the league. But it seemed like both Dallas and the Bears were okay with that too, even knowing that information were willing to offer. In fact, Chicago apparently offered two first-rounders also. Well, we don't know if they offered Crosby after this dude examined him. That's why I said the Cowboys have backed off. That's why the league has to look into it.
Why did the Ravens decide against trading for Maxx Crosby?
I don't know. That's fine. But that's certainly a very interesting update. I'll say that much. That it wasn't just the Ravens. It was other doctors looking at this guy. I guess we'll find out. We may not find out anything. They may not even look into it.
What insights did Dr. Cooper provide regarding Maxx Crosby's health?
It may be just done deal and move on. My next question will be, where is Max Crosby? Does he stay in Vegas now after there seemed to be some hard feelings? They can't afford him now. Well, no, that's what I mean. It screwed up the entire cap situation they had. Would you have been down on them if they then said today, you know, those two deals we just signed with those two guys, now we got Crosby back? We're null and void. We're backing off of those. Maybe. But listen, if this is legit with the Ravens, they would have been derelict of duty and harming their own franchise to keep him, correct? Yes, if it's what you are saying it is. I'm not saying it. I'm saying that the Raven, that we now have additional information that independent doctors outside of Baltimore look at this.
They didn't say that he was done or never going to play, did they? No, they said that he's going through a rehab of a meniscus. So whatever the structural damage is in there. I don't know what they said. I don't know either. But I also didn't know that other doctors outside of Baltimore looked at him. Fair. We'll see. Meanwhile, limits is becoming a very controversial figure, Bob. How so? The NFL is now playing a game on Thanksgiving Eve as early as this season, according to Schefter. That would be Wednesday, November 25th. Limits says the scheduling is way out of hand. Do you agree with that, Bob? Yes, I do. They're going to try to have a game on every single day of the week. And I think what you do is you water down your own product by doing so.
They're still kings. Everything they do makes money and is widely viewed as successful, and it is. They've created this draft to be something as big as it's going to be here in Pittsburgh. Kudos to them, their PR staff, their marketing staff. Everybody about football has made this a year-round thing. But I don't know if I want to watch games on every single night of the week. I just don't. I'm okay with it. I'll be tuned in Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. I think it's fabulous. The Thursday night games in general have not been good ratings-wise. Still better than anything else that's on TV. Absolutely. But again, my point is you're going to get to the point where you're affecting – they'll win every single game opposite anything else.
That's never going to be disputed, I don't think.
