Raiders Star Maxx Crosby Calls Out Geno Smith After Bears Loss in Brutal Rant
Maxx Crosby Explodes: “Geno Smith Disappeared When We Needed Him Most!”
The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t just lose a heartbreaking 25-24 game to the Chicago Bears on Sunday — they also walked into a firestorm inside their own locker room. And the spark came from none other than star defensive end Maxx Crosby, who unleashed a blistering tirade directed at quarterback Geno Smith.
Crosby, the emotional heartbeat of the Raiders’ defense, didn’t waste time sugarcoating. “This is the NFL. You either show up in the big moments, or you disappear. And right now, we’re disappearing. I’m sick of watching our offense collapse when it matters the most,”
When asked if his words were aimed squarely at Smith, Crosby didn’t hesitate. “Geno’s a veteran. He knows the weight of this job. But too many times today, when we needed him to be sharp, he froze. You can’t throw the ball away on third-and-long with the game on the line. You can’t take sacks when receivers are open. That’s not leadership — that’s hesitation.”
The comments hit like a bomb. With the Raiders stumbling to a 1-3 start, Crosby’s frustration echoed what many fans have already been shouting. He doubled down with even more venom:
While Crosby shined once again on defense, recording multiple game-changing plays, the offense faltered under Smith’s shaky command. The tension now threatens to spill into the Raiders’ season: will Geno respond to the public call-out, or will the cracks only deepen?
One thing is certain — Crosby has drawn a line in the sand. The Raiders no longer have space for excuses. Only results will decide whether this team sinks or survives.
Aaron Judge Delivers Stern Message as Alex Bregman Competition Threatens World Series Hopes
Aaron Judge, star of the New York Yankees, has issued a forceful statement as tensions rise between him and
“We don’t have time for distractions,” Judge said bluntly. “If someone isn’t fully committed to helping this team win, they need to step up or step aside. This is about championships, and I expect everyone in this clubhouse to be aligned with that goal.”
Judge’s comments come amid heightened scrutiny over the competition and tension between star players as the Yankees push toward the postseason.
Judge’s Perspective: ‘Winning Comes First’
Judge made it clear that personal rivalries or external pressure won’t derail the team’s mission. “I’m focused on winning, plain and simple,” he said. “It’s not about ego—it’s about doing whatever it takes to get to the World Series. The guys who are on board know what’s at stake, and we’re counting on them to perform.”
By issuing a direct ultimatum, Judge signals that accountability and commitment are non-negotiable in the pursuit of the championship.
Looking Ahead: ‘We’ll Let Our Play Decide’
Judge emphasized that performance on the field is the ultimate measure. “Talk is cheap,” he said. “We’ll let our play decide who’s stepping up and who’s not. Right now, it’s about focus, execution, and doing what it takes to get to the World Series. Anything less is unacceptable.”
Judge’s leadership and uncompromising stance underline the intensity and urgency as the Yankees approach the critical stretch of the season.
